$ iduid=501(oracle) gid=501(oinstall) groups=501(oinstall),502(dba))On Windows systems, the software should be installed as a member of the Local Administrators group for the machine.It’s common to have multiple versions of Oracle running on the same machine simultaneously. To avoid chaos, you need to organize how and where each version is installed. The framework commonly used to organize and install Oracle software is called Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA). As the DBA, you can use this organizational hierarchy to install the Oracle software based on software versions and common directories used by all versions.Key to the OFA is the directory environment variables ORACLEBASE and ORACLEHOME:.ORACLEBASE is where you can find common software used by all Oracle software versions; it’s the base of underlying Oracle code trees.ORACLEHOME is a subdirectory and denotes the location where a specific version of Oracle database software is installed, often associated with one or more database instances. Here’s the hierarchy: /directory name/app/oracle/product/version number/actual softwareversionnumberNow let’s describe each level of the hierarchy.

Final destination 5 hindi dubbed. Fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines by rk rajput. Defined as ORACLEHOME.Here’s an example of how this hierarchy may exist on UNIX or Linux: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0And on Windows: d:apporacleproduct12.1.0When you install the database software with the Oracle installation tool (Oracle Universal Installer), it guides you through identifying these locations, but, you need to understand why each location is defined so you can better organize your software installations. In the ORACLEBASE directory, an Oracle Inventory directory is created as oraInventory. Within this directory, Oracle logs a record of all Oracle software that has been installed, patched, and removed from the server. This information is used so that the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) and the OPatch utility can track software dependencies during installation and patching operations.

Replaces bdump and udump directories.incidentLocation of additional trace files (Plain Text Format).Oracle manages software installations based on their ORACLEHOME directories. Multiple ORACLEHOME directories can exist on a server, each corresponding to a different version of the database. Different versions can generally coexist without conflict as they only share the Oracle Inventory, oratab file, and database listener process. This separation of the software into different directories allows this separation and management to occur. Here’s an example of multiple ORACLE HOME directories: $ ls -1 $ORACLEBASE/product12.1.011.1.010.2.0In the preceding example, you see multiple ORACLEHOME directories installed into different directories.

Defining your environment variable settings to point to a specific ORACLEHOME determines which one you’re using.Database files (data, index, control, redo) are preferably stored in separate file systems allocated specifically for this purpose and separated by database names: /u02/oradata/dev12c/u03/oradata/dev12c/u04/oradata/dev12cThe oracle user in group dba needs to be able to read, write, and execute to the ORACLEBASE and ORACLEHOME directories, subdirectories, and files, as well as the database files themselves. If other users on this server need to execute programs on the server side, such as SQL.Plus or export/import or SQL.Loader, they need execute permissions on corresponding executables and, in some cases, libraries.

I have been searching for a solution to my problem for a while now but none seems to be working, this is my last attempt before I go for re-installation.I today installed Oracle XE 11g Release 2 through its installation wizard and it went fine. The trouble I seem to be having is that I can't open the browser homepage.The browsers are giving me the error: cannot establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080I am on Windows 7 32-bit and i have downloaded & installed the XE for the same.From reading all the possible answers I gathered that some info might be needed before my question is answered. So are the results from various commands that I have run which all the answers asked for.1) C:Userslenove netstat -nao find '8080'No result for this one2) C:Userslenovo lsnrctl statusLSNRCTL for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production on 18-JAN-2013 16:46:43Copyright (c) 1991, 2010, Oracle.

I installed on a Windows 7 pro (under local administrator account) and it ran smooth. I recommand you to proceed to the installation from a local administrative user.On my computer: windows 7 professional, 64 bits.connected with user from a domain, in Administrative group: installation fail, without any message. In the log files located in /oraclexe/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/server/config/log, I found a lot of 'not connected' messages (sorry, I did not keep the log files).connected with local administrative user: installation works and menu getStarted works: browser display the Oracle Database XE 11.2 administration home page.
