Recover from ORA-01172 & ORA-01151

This morning I was working on an Oracle Management Repository (OMR) for a test Enterprise Manager that is used by a few consultants I work with. When I logged into the box, I found that the OMR was down. When I went to start the database, I was greeted with ORA-01172 and ORA-01151. These errors […]

Issue with Perl in $ORACLE_HOME during installs

I’ve been doing some Enterprise Manager installs a bit more lately. At the same time, I’ve been working on Data Integration items such as GoldenGate and ODI.  What these products have in common are that they require an Oracle Database for a repository.  Needless to say I’ve been installing a lot of 12.1.0.2 databases in […]

Error referenced ‘irman ioracle’ during binary installation

This week I decided to redo a few of my virtual box machines and build a few new ones for testing. Getting the Oracle Linux 6.6 installed was a breeze; however, when I started to install the Oracle Database 12c binaries I was hitting errors during the linking phase. This had me puzzled for a […]

Using #DB12c PDB as a Repository for #EM12c…. Not so fast!

Last year, I wrote a post on how to setup Oracle Enterprise Manger 12c (12.1.0.3) with Oracle Database 12c (12.1.0.1) and what you could expect.  At the time the configuration was not supported by Oracle and I only did it to see if it could be done.  If you would like to read that post […]

Configure #Oracle #GoldenGate #12c for testing between two or more #db12c PDBs.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been working and traveling a good bit.  Amongst all the travel I’ve been trying to get time to test a few things.  One test I wanted to get done was using Oracle GoldenGate 12c with Oracle Database 12c between Pluggable Databases (in the same instance).   As of today, I’ve […]
