  • Give advice about uninstalling the database Client Oracle under Windows with multiple Oracle homes

    Hi all.

    Probably a Client of Oracle database uninstall will arrive in a Windows box, where there are several houses of Oracle:

    (1) the Oracle Database 11 g Client is.

    (2) the House of Oracle Oracle database server.

    (3) oracle 6i Oracle Home.

    I have these concerns:

    (1) do I stop Oracle Services NOT related to the Oracle Home being deleted? I guess that's not necessary, but it is recommended?

    (2) the YES program to run must be or is better to use the YES program located at removed Oracle (Oracle Client to Database 11 g in this situation)?

    "(3) I see there are additional post - installation according to section 5.3 steps"manually remove the Oracle database Client components remaining' the Oracle Client Installation Guide for Windows.

    Could someone provide the additional steps or recommendations?

    Sorry but I do not trust the windows plataform much!

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards, Luis!

    Hello myluism,

    You can use the oracle supplied binary dinstall to uninstall oracle binaries that you can download from this url of Oracle Database 11 g Release 2 for Microsoft Windows (x 64) that looks good in your context.

    In addition, you can also uninstall the binary files by running the dinstall respecitive houses Oracle located in the path: ORACLE_HOME\dinstall.

    Please go through the url: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e47959/deinstall.htm#NTCLI1326

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you and best regards.

  • What is a good practice to manage LOV in jdev apps?

    Hi, experts,
    In jdev 11.1.2.3,.

    In our projects, there are numerous LOVs whose value are stored in a common dictionary table, for example in the refcode table:
    refcode (id, low_value, high_value, sense, domain_no),
    Different LOVs can extract value peers (low_value, meaning), or (high_value, sense) refcode table by using domain_no as the filter criteria.

    In the user interface of the user, the values of field/code number should be displayed by a sense of refcode password
    To achieve this, I'll create many links between the different tables with refcode,
    and create your entity refcode consider the secondary entity views.

    I feel some odd (because so many associations with the same table refcode),
    What is a good practice to manage LOV in this way?

    Thank you.

    How to make a link to Oracle Home in Windows?

    I grant you that Bill Gates is a very smart and very successful businessman. But which does not translate to the technical genius.
    I grant you that Microsoft has some very smart, talented and creative technical people. Some might even be 'genius'... for what it's worth.
    But none of this translates into an operating system technically superior, just an economic success. And from what I've read lately, the one that finally begins to lose ground to Linux.

    I don't know what you mean by "windows OS is as tough as unix." ("tough"?) But I will say that I have worked with every major release of Windows since its inception. I worked with several flavors of nix (Solaris, AIX, HPUX, Linux RedHat/Oracle).  I started my career on the big iron IBM (s - 360 and various descendants and various derivatives).  And given the propensity of humans to prefer what they already know about something again, I should prefer Windows to the nix. But the reality is that I learned to avoid Windows I get chances. It can be a very good OS, but it is "too clever by half."

    If Microsoft built cars, whenever you were forced to buy a new model, you want to spend several weeks searching for the next drive, the throttle, ignition, the spare wheel...

  • 11 GR 2 Oracle home path

    Hello

    It is a matter of design rather than a technical problem.

    With Oracle OFA paper [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17162/appendix_ofa.htm#BABHAIIJ].

    The grid and the Oracle Home are suggested to be:
    /*/app/Oracle/product/11.2.0/DB* for Oracle Database 11g oracle directories
    /*/app/Oracle/product/11.2.0/grid* oracle home directory for the Infrastructure of grid of Oracle 11 g for a stand-alone server for the oracle user


    However, I have read that there 11.2.0.2 group of patches, which is a new full version.
    Oracle recommends to have the upgrade of Out-of-place (this is Oracle recommended to apply a patch to the game. You install the hotfix in a new, separate Oracle home location) and this is Oracle approach in the future.
    Grid, it must be upgraded out of place.

    So does make sense that I should install the Oracle home /*/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.x/grid* and '/*/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.x/db* '?


    Thank you.

    Rocky

    Welcome to the forums!

    This is a valid and good question. I think that your approach is logical, given that future update sets (11.2.0.3 etc.) would be also (I hope) released that installs complete and will very likely need to be installed in separate houses.

  • Good practices of FIFO: updated old cluster or create new

    Hello world

    My question is more on "good practices" that really solve a problem.

    I use FIFO to send images and other data from a producer to a consumer.

    I created a cluster which includes all the data that must be sent through the FIFO.

    My question is: can I create a new cluster to each loop of the producer and put this cluster in the FIFO or should I set a shift and then register and update the data of this fallen registry change by sending in the FIFO?

    Below you will find two screenshots that sums up the idea (NB: these aren't the real VI.) We come here to show the general idea).

    If there is a difference (in the way that the computer uses memory for example, or something else...) between these two methods of programming, you will give me some details so that I can understand why to use one over the other, please?

    Thank you very much.

    Best regards.

    Luke

    I think that there is very little difference in terms of performance (perhaps the registry approach change is slower than sliiightly - but probably not noticeable in most cases).

    The main reason you want to use the shift register approach is that if you update only certain values before sending the data in the queue, those that would be lost if you created a new cluster each time. For example, if 'Directories' was constant, you could just power/updating that once the value to the registry to shift and just update the part "ImageAcquired" of the cluster before you send it in the queue. This also means that if you update your cluster to have more elements (using a type-def, of course), you can be less worried about having to update the individual elements.

    I think it is less a problem of performance (both are valid and effective) and more a matter of maintainability and flexibility.

  • EM. Oracle.Home not set in installation simple soa

    Hello

    I have a script for silent installation that installs and configures a basic installation of 12 c SOA. I founded some of the scripts on an example of middlewaresnippets.com.

    In short, the scripts are;

    • Install Oracle DB SE2
    • Install Oracle JDK 8u60
    • Install the Infrastructure FMW 12.1.3.0.0 (include PS5)
    • Install the BPM (including SOA)
    • Run the RCU
    • Creates areas etc.

    When you are finished, the nodemanager, adminserver, and soa server can be started. There are only a few error messages in the AdminServer.out that are bugging me.

    [code]

    < 13 November 2015 14:41:23 THIS > < WARNING > < oracle.as.jmx.framework.wls.spi.ComponentMBeans > < J2EE JMX-46714 > < error analysis of the MBean descriptor file "fmwconfig/mbeans/em_mbeans.xml".

    [/ code]

    Most of the other errors seems to be associated with em, specifically the em.oracle.home. When to check the AdminServer.out at the start of the AdminServer environment variable seems also not to be defined.

    The installer is basically;

    • read the weblogic (wls.jar) model, set some basic as etc domain name options and write the field.
    • read the field and add the model bpm (oracle.bpm_template_12.1.3.jar)
    • Set up the domain
      • setOption ('AppDir', domain_app_home);
      • create a machine
      • create a cluster of soa and add the soa server to the cluster

    When validating deployments in the WLC the em.ear aims the AdminServer, but is failing. Targets of the MA has an em, the default (webapp) component and the empty.jar.

    If necessary I can post scripts

    See you soon,.

    For the benefit of third parties, the problem has caused a bad addition to the EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES.

    A setUserOverrides.sh in the "/ bin" that contains the following statements.

    [code]

    EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES = ""-Djava .net .preferIPv4Stack = true ' "

    export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES

    [/ code]

    The setUseOverrides.sh is run after the setSOADomainEnv.sh and therefore replaces the settings.

    By adding the new EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES it is all ok works again... phew :-)

    [code]

    EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES = "-Djava .net .preferIPv4Stack = true, ${EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES}" "

    export EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES

    Hi all

    It is just an extension to the problem addressed in the previous post.

    10.1.2 OPATCH_JAVA_ERROR = CheckConflict: 19434967

    During the application of the o patch 19434967 on Oracle Home, obtained with the error below 10.1.2.

    ERROR: 1

    OPATCH_JAVA_ERROR = CheckConflict: OPatch cannot treat the patches of layering due to no support YES. Please take the last group of patches YES 10.1 "My Oracle Support", and then try again.

    Impossible to check the bug/folder conflicts and component of due diligence.

    For the error above asked patch 6640838 , IE install newer YES, who have successfully completed. But this Setup, downgrades the OPatch utility at 1.0.0.0.61, earlier it was 1.0.0.0.64, and this resulted in the error below when you apply the o19434967 patch for the second time.

    ERROR: 2

    The patch 19434967 directory does not match the id of the patch.

    ERROR: OPatch failed during pre-reqs check.

    After some research, I found that the error(ERROR:2) above can be solved by installing the latest OPatch, if I did all the problem is repeated once again.

    Can anyone please suggest how to apply this patch successfully.

    Thank you

  • Why ORACLE HOME USER 12.1.0.2 LIMITED to SINGLE INSTANCE?

    Thank you for taking my question!


    I installed my first database 11g to 12.1.0.2 under windows (no cars).  I need help understanding new ORACLE HOME of the USER to affect my c 12 databases.


    The documentation below States "when YES creates the account of USER ORACLE HOME it can only be used by a database unique instance".  I don't understand why I can't add another instance and use the same YES program created the USER account to the HOME of ORACLE page?  Why choice is (1) differs from the number of choices (2) given that both can be local accounts?   In addition, if you are unable to sign the USER ORACLE HOME, how that affects the OEM or OEM agent running on the database target?

    Thank you!

    Kathie

    When installing YES offers three options to associate a user Oracle Home of the Oracle home:

    1. leave YES create a new user account to do as a user in the Oracle home page.
    This option of the newly created user has the rights to connect to the server.
    This can only be used for Single Instance databases.


    2. Select an existing local or a domain as account being the user Oracle Home.
    If the existing account has login privileges, then Oracle Home user will have login rights to the server.
    This must be a nonadministrator user.


    3. Select a built-in account as the user Oracle Home.
    In this local Service option / built-in account Local system will become user Oracle Home.

    So if you do not use CARS, so it's no problem. The documentation seems to say that Option 1 cannot be used with CARS, not Option 1 cannot be used with multiple instances.

  • Install several Oracle 11 G R2 Oracle homes on Windows 2008 R2 x 64?

    I have a Windows 2008 R2 running an Oracle DEV 11.2.0.3 x 64 database. I would like to install a copy of a 11.2.0.3 PROD based on this same server to use as a backup. If the Production Server fails, I can switch to that server. I have not installed several houses Oracle/forums/databases before and a bit confusing. Can the two databases are running under the same Oracle Home or I can (..) If it is allowed...) install 11 G R2 another House on a separate disk and run the 2nd data base from there?

    You can have two databases running out of the House even if so, you want to or run different oracle homes.  Normally you would have separate/houses/databases, if you are likely to have separate patching strategies.

    Specifically, you say that want to restore a copy of prod on the DEV server to be used as a "backup".  How you will keep this up-to-date copy?  Have you considered dataguard?

  • Normal reboot a server DB is a good practice?

    Hi all

    Recently, I hit a bug "Bug 10194190 - Solaris: spin process and/or ASM and DB crash if RAC instance > 248 days ( Doc ID 10194190.8 )" "

    One solution is to restart the Server DB regularly.

    I would like to know if control restart a server DB is a good practice in a normal case without hitting the bug.

    In my experience, Unix platform is more stable than the Windows platform in

    end of time. Truth without papers we need to restart Windows

    Server for the services included in some cases.

    I heard not to restart a database regularly in the Unix platform.

    To my knowledge, a 7 x 24 reviews should have as more long availability possible.

    However, I share that a database must be restarted in some cases as

    patching and some other maintenance.

    In our case, I agree that we must take this workaround solution, restart regularly the DB server, to

    the problem at this point. However, I want to know, as a good practice, if a DB server must be restarted on a regular basis in the

    normal case without hitting the bug.

    Maybe a need to define "regular". To my knowledge, the bounce is not good because it has continuous setting on in the background, which is reset every rebound in memory. I am referring to the tuning that is associated with the presence of the SPFILE.

    I don't know how long it takes before this system is on the right track, it's an interesting question.

    But rebounding is good, because ultimately you will need a few days. Nothing like a test procedure and bounce a database is one procedure like the others.

    Obviously, 24/7 databases are a reality, which makes this exercise very difficult/impossible.

    Not many problems will be solved with bounce data well. But if a problem appears as it does, it is not impossible. I saw only once (on a Unix system). In the end, no one was able to explain the cause, and bounce was unsalted solution. The dirty fix was: kill the production process. And the problem disappeared with the upgrade (11g). Just a fact.

  • FMW: Portal Upgrade Advisor - video part 4 patch the Oracle Home "how to install Oracle Middleware 11 g Rel 1 portal and discoverer" should specify to use previous pfrd Oracle Home

    NOTE: from 'build base Middleware of Oracle 11 g Architecture. "
    Review of the videos for "How to install Oracle 11g Rel 1 portal Middleware and discoverer?"
    Part 4 patch the Oracle home (04:57)
    https://support.Oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show & type = ATT & ID = 1118681.1:PD11G_INSTALL_PT4 & inline = 1

    The verbal and demo explanation does not use the original location/Oracle HOme of the previously
    installed for the binary PFRD base.   It probably should.

    In addition, for some steps to follow to patch binaries PFRD, I'd put it:

    Step 4.  I am guessing that the patch will establish an another sub dir Disk1 and don't want to overwright
    installation of the initial PFRD, therefore, moves the Group of hotfixes as follows.

    CD/opt/web/install/PortalUpgradeAdvisor/pfrd
    960 ls - ltr
    Group of hotfixes mkdir 961
    Group patches 962 mv p11060983_111140_LINUX.zip
    Group patches 963 cd.
    Unzip 964 *.

    RE: of course, having unpacked the group created patches another subdirectory Disk1 with his own runInstaller
    VNC gui:

    I guess, all we are doing is patching of binary files, nothing should be running.
    Maybe an environment set in same, as when we ran last the PFRD install, however.  There we / I had
    run. / set_mid_clean after making sure the files property was oracle: oracle.

    Yes, VNC gui and
    / opt/Web/Install/PortalUpgradeAdvisor/pfrd/Patchset/disk1
    . / runInstaller

    Here again, we select Install Software - is not configured
    RE: Get the message again on this screen "installs the software only. After said is finished, use
    config.sh at ORACLE bin directory to configure the working bodies of these components installed.

    Specify the installation location.  Always to
    Oracle Middleware homepage: / opt/oracle/Middleware
    and
    An Oracle home directory: as_2 # I bet it must be as_1 because that is where the initial PFRD install binary files has occurred.

    NOTE: The summary of the Installation in the video screen escape the Oracle Home is the previous specified during the initial installation. That is to say. PFRD_Binaries.   I guess I should have named that instead of taking the default as_1. At least I would have to have done that.  Well.  Maybe this story might help the next guy.

    Also

    NOTE: The Installation screen is not "from" group of patches as in the video where it says
    Install Oracle Portal, forms, reports, and discover the Group of hotfixes.

    Hi Charlie
    I'm a little confused by this feedback. Especially when you say that you see the option "install - do not configure. Should this option is visible only when you run the Basic 11.1.1.2 PFRD the software installer. The Group of hotfixes 11.1.1.4 has his own 'runInstaller'... and this will display what you see in the viewlet. You definitely run the installer from the directory of stage in the Group of hotfixes? (I'll do my own validation test - if I find something strange going on... I'll report.)

    I now take the following action

    1. I will put the Viewlet so it is clear that the Group of hotfixes is staged in a different place from the base 11.1.1.2 media
    2. provide that nothing must be running (because at this point, no instance of 11 g of construction has been configured)
    3. There's a "slippage" that illustrates the Middleware and Oracle Home entries in the screen "Location of Installation to specify" IE

    Middleware homepage: / u01/alca_portal/middleware
    Oracle home: PFRD_Binaries

    However, you will see that this slide for 2 seconds (which is an error) and if you miss it probably.

    Just FYI - the House of Oracle 11 g correction is in general the same procedure as patching a mid-layer House AS10g i.e

    -You set the Oracle Home base using the installation of the basic software program
    -You patch the Oracle home using the installation program of the Group of hotfixes
