Running Oracle Configuration Manager

Posted by on September 19, 2008 No comments

Download Oracle Configuration Manager from Metalink > Software Configuration Manager, and copy to the server.

ocm-Production-Linux-i386.zip

Note: source database tier environment file.

1. Unzip the Oracle Configuration Manager distribution file into the ORACLE_HOME directory as follows:

unzip -d $ORACLE_HOME ocm-Production-Linux-i386.zip

2. After the file has been unzipped, install and complete the configuration of Oracle Configuration Manager by entering the following command:

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/setupCCR -s  xxxxxxxx vasudev.seeram@emaildomain.com TT

where xxxxxxxx is your CSI number

3. To configure the database for configuration collection, run the following script:

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh collectconfig -s TEST -r sys -p syspassword

4. To configure an Oracle E-Business Suite, run the following script from the $ORACLE_HOME:

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/admin/scripts/installCCRSQL.sh ebs_collectconfig -u apps -w appspassword -s TEST

5. To check status of Scheduler:

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emCCR status

6. To start the Scheduler:

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emCCR start

7. To manually collect data for the instance and upload it:

$ORACLE_HOME/ccr/bin/emCCR collect

Posted by on May 27, 2008 No comments

Installing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Linux x86

1. Download the 10201_database_linux32.zip file from the Oracle web site

22d23ab01a8013500313ff92f65d0fe5  10201_database_linux32.zip  668734007KB

2. Unzip the zip file in an appropriate directory.

3. Open the welcome.html file from the database directory.

4. Click the Documentation tab, then click on the Quick Installation Guide HTML link. Follow the steps to begin installation

———-

1. Log on as root user and execute the commands:

# xhost +

# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo

# grep SwapTotal /proc/meminfo

# free

# df -k /tmp

# df -k

# grep “model name” /proc/cpuinfo

2. Ensure that the following packages (or later versions) are installed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0:

* make-3.79.1 [make-3.80-6.EL4 found]

# id nobody

5. Update kernel parameters. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following parameters:

kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
rmem_default = 262144
rmem_max = 262144
wmem_default = 262144
wmem_max = 262144

kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128

net.core.wmem_max = 262144

Error Encountered:
—————–
Checking available swap space requirements …
Expected result: 2274MB
Actual Result: 1983MB
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: The system does not have the required swap space.
Recommendation: Make more swap space available to perform the install.

Solution:
——–
Create a new swap partition.

fdisk /dev/hdb

Delete old partition, create a new /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb2, with /dev/hdb2 at least 2275MB
Edit /etc/fstab and add new swap device
mount -a
swapon -a

Set environment variables for ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME and SID before starting dbca

SID should be in lowercase e.g. orcl

Set Global Database Identifier same as SID i.e. orcl

After installing, run lab_02_05.sh script to create listener. Or create it manually.
Configure a TNS Listener using netca

Configure orcl entry in tnsnames.ora using netca >

Start dbconsole using emctl start dbconsole: gave error about

Timezone mismatch: The agentTZRegion value (GMT) in
/u1/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/enterprise.support.com_orcl/sysman/config/emd.properties
does not match the current environment TZ setting().
The dbconsole cannot run with this mismatch.

If GMT is the correct timezone, set your timezone environment variable to GMT and repeat the ’emctl start dbconsole’ operation.

If GMT is not the correct timezone, make sure that the timezone in your environment is correct, and then run the following command in your local Oracle Home: ’emctl resetTZ agent’

The output of this command will include detailed instructions to follow, to correct the mismatch.

To complete this process, you must either:

connect to the database served by this DBConsole as user ‘sysman’, and execute:

— or —

connect to the database served by this DBConsole as user ‘sys’, and execute:

SQL> alter session set current_schema = SYSMAN;
SQL> exec mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn(‘enterprise.support.com:3938′,’America/Anguilla’)

sqlplus sys/oracle
alter session set current_schema = SYSMAN;

exec mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn(‘enterprise.support.com:3938′,’America/Anguilla’);

Error Encountered:
—————–
Unable to connect using service (orcl) as in sqlplus system/oracle@orcl

Solution:
——–
Added the following lines to the listener.ora file:

(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u1/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
)

The listener.ora file now reads:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =

(SID_DESC =

Posted by on July 10, 2007 No comments

This documentation shows the steps covered in installing Oracle Application Express.

Refer to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html

10gR1 Installation

Step 1:        Install Oracle Database 10g on Windows machine using the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) CD.

Step 2:        Install HTML DB from Oracle Database 10g Companion CD.

Step 3:        Point browser to http://oracleserver.support.com:7777/pls/htmldb

 

10gR2 Installation

Step 1:        Install Oracle Database 10g on Windows machine using the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) CD.

Issue encountered where it was not able to write to directory. It was defaulting to D:oracleoradata for the data files. This is the CD-ROM drive, so I had to do Advanced installation and specify E:oracleoradata.

Step 2:        Install HTML DB from Oracle Database 10g Companion CD.

Step 3:        Point browser to http://oracleserver.support.com:7777/pls/htmldb

VIS12 Installation

Step 1:        Log on to the appslinux server either at the console or via VNC and load the Terminal Command Line.

Step 2:        To determine products installed, navigate to /u5/oracle/VIS12/db/tech_st/10.2.0/ and source the environment

(. ./VIS12_appslinux.env).

Step 3:        Next, navigate to /u5/oracle/VIS12/db/tech_st/10.2.0/oui/bin and run runInstaller (./runInstaller)

Step 4:        Download and install the apex_3.0.zip file from Oracle.com onto any directory that applmgr owns (e.g. /u0).

Step 5:        Unzip apex_3.0.zip into the /u0 directory.

[applmgr@appslinux 9.2.0]$ cd /u0/
[applmgr@appslinux u0]$ unzip apex_3.0.zip

Step 6:        The VIS12 instance shall be used. Navigate to the VIS12 10.2.0 Oracle Home and source the environment.

[applmgr@appslinux u0]$ cd /u5/oracle/VIS12/db/tech_st /10.2.0/
[applmgr@appslinux 10.2.0]$ . ./VIS12_appslinux.env
