Link Oracle Home in Windows?

Hi all

How to make a link to Oracle Home in Windows?


On unix, I can do it like
#  ln -s   /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1       /OracleHome
Thank you very much

I think that you expect all the features present in linux to be available in Windows or vice versa. After all they are quite another product is not?

I just thought that Bill Gates is like the genius guys of unix and windows OS is as tough as unix OS. Do you agree? :)

You just made me puke coffee all over my keyboard!

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...

"My mom always said that Windows is like a box of chocolates..." You never know what you will get.

  • 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?

  • How to Create Oracle Home for Windows Client?

    I downloaded the latest version of the client Oracle for Windows here:

    http://www.Oracle.com/technology/software/tech/OCI/instantclient/htdocs/WinSoft.html

    The problem is that they are just ZIP files, so they install an Oracle Home that I can select with the selector of the House. There are utilities that can create an Oracle Home registry entry for you?

    Thank you

    There is an option to download only client for Windows (and Linux I believe). It happens to be located along the coast that the downloads for you database make it as if you try to download the database and in the end, you will see an option for a client download only. The download only client that comes with the Oracle Universal Installer is a few hundred MB, not as big as the download of the database, but much better than the Instant Client download.

  • 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.

    Hello
     
    To home network computers running different versions of Windows, we need to make sure that what follows.
    a. ensure that all computers are in the same workgroup.
    (b) the value of the private network location type.
    c. open ports in your firewall to allow file and printer sharing.
    d. turn on additional file and printer sharing options.
    e. consider using password protected sharing.
    5 using the network card.
     
    The NIC in the network and sharing Center is a graphical view of the computers and devices on your network, showing how they are connected and including problem areas. A computer running Windows XP can be detected and appear on the network map, you may need to install the Protocol Link-Layer Topology Discovery (LLTD) on this computer.

  • 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.

  • Oracle ASM on Windows

    I think I have I need help to get my right to ASM storage. Recently I changed businesses and the new place is a House of Windows, so Oracle databases are all on 2008 R2 machines. I run Oracle RAC on both physical and virtual before, but only in Linux/Unix environments (up to now, I still prefer) so I'm still learning some of the ins and outs. This company seeks also to travel to the RAC, ASM is in the mix. To start my tests, I have implemented an ASM instance for a single host that will eventually become a pole of development taking into multiple databases. However, before I set up data bases, the host is locked up. I think it has something to do with the configuration of the disk, because while the entrapment took place while the virtual machine is idling, several crashes occurred when I try to drop a disc from the asmca utility. I followed the Oracle documentation for Windows platforms, but this documentation does not offer overview of storage on vmware virtualization.

    Here is my configuration:

    VMware: vSphere 5.5

    OS: Windows 2008 R2 Standard

    Memory: 12G

    Storage: OS: 60G; ASM: 20G, 5G, 5G

    Oracle Grid: 11.2.0.4 (more January 2014 CPU)

    Oracle database: 11.2.0.4 (more January 2014 CPU)

    Other details (perhaps important, perhaps not):

    (1) I have a large pages activated

    (2) drives are supplied thin. Note, I always thick-stocked my ASM, but our admin SR records. HE made a policy that all disks must be supplied thin for efficiency. I don't know if this could cause a problem.

    (3) the 3 ASM disks are running using the paravirtualized SCSI driver

    (4) the host also has an OEM 12 c Agent installed and running.

    I'm new on the Windows platform when it comes to Oracle (I managed a lot of SQL Server DBs), blocks do not appear to produce any type of data in the logs.

    Just for someone who comes across this post on the forum, update the ESET software kept interfering with the DSO, so I'm back in business. In response to the previous notice, I am the first full-time, home s/n they hired, and what I learned to work with is regardless of the parade of consultants put in place in recent years. Sometimes you gotta work with what you have. It's kinda a mess overall, to say the least, but I'm slowly getting it resolved. Linux is in the cards, but not in this series of changes.

  • RAC with Oracle VM and Windows Server

    Hi all,

    We want to implement the system with Oracle database 11g or 10g 64 bit (CARS) on the OS of Microsoft Server 2008/2003. We do not have enough licenses for all the hearts, and we want to find a way to implement the RAC database with existing licenses.

    Is this a good solution to use virtualization, as Oracle VM?
    How much is safe to use virtualization?
    Can we do Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) environments Oracle VM with Windows Server 2008 64-bit (or 2003 Server) operating system and use hard partition?
    Is it better to invest in licenses or try with Oracle VM?


    Oracle VM can be configured so that it is recognized as a difficult score.
    Hard partitions allow customers of one license these CPU used by the partition instead of license all the processors on the physical server.

  • Oracle Home is not valid on the TOAD

    Jin

    I installed Oracle Database 11 g (64-bit) on my computer of Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit (Machine A).
    On my PC (Machine B) ' TOAD for Oracle Version 8.6 "has been installed. I could easily connect my database using the
    This TOAD. However after installing the TOAD 8.6 (or higher version 10) v. on my Machine (database server).
    TOAD gave the message that the * 'Oracle Home is not valid' * when I tried to connect the database.

    I couldn't have managed to fix this message, and for this reason, I could not connect my database locally my database server (Machine A)
    using TOAD 8.6 or v.10 v.

    Y at - it one thing miss me about TOAD or ORACLE?

    As already said TOAD is not a product of Oracle. See the system requirements for your version of TOAD (or ask Quest) that they already support 11 GR 2 in general and in particular the 64-bit version.
    GR 11, 2 on Windows was released a few days ago, I guess that 3rd party products need a little more time.

  • who was the last version to allow the opening links in a new window by default?

    Used to have the opportunity to set as default, when I clicked on a link, it would always open in a new window. I want to revert to this version... If it is supported or not! I HATE THE TABS!

    You can disable tabbed browsing in the options:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > tabs

    Uncheck the boxes of the first and the fourth. This will restore the default behavior for links, which is:

    • If a 'target' is defined in the link, or launch a new window or replace the contents of the existing window with the same target.
    • If a script is triggered when you click on the link, leave the script to open a new window.
    • Otherwise, follow the link in the same window.
