Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8.1

 

If you are a windows domain administrator, Microsoft “Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8.1” would be a perfect companion which will assist you to carryout a major chunk of domain related activities without leaving the comfort of your chair, from a Windows 8.1 client box!

Please note each version of Windows client (starting from Windows 7) requires platform supported update package from Microsoft for the installation, thus, you cannot download the remote administration package for Windows7 or Windows 8 and expect to get it installed on Windows 8.1

Further, You must have US English language installed (Keyboard language is not enough, less said). You must download and install the language pack before installing the remote administration update package.

You must run the Windows Update and make sure your box is patched with latest updates, to avoid any possible installation failures

Install Oracle Database 11g R2 on Windows 8.x, Windows 10

Update: 9th October 2015

The installation procedure mentioned below are applicable for Windows 10 also. So enjoy! I just finished installing the 11G R2 64Bit database in my computer running Windows 10 64Bit professional.

I believe if someone is attempting to install Oracle database in a laptop or desktop machine, it is purely for limited development requirements or learning.

A many who are new to Oracle database may not able to install the software on many versions of Microsoft client OS like Windows 7 or 8 until certain levels of hacks are made.

Ignore what “I know everything” geeks screaming across tech forums, asking you questions like “DID YOU READ THE CERTIFICATION MATRIX”

You don’t have the time, neither do I.

Let us install the Oracle database 11g R2 this time on a Windows 8.1 (Update 1) dell laptop with following configuration 8GB memory, 1TB Hdd, Windows 8.1 update 1 64Bit Other oracle software installed

  1. Developer Suite 6i
  2. Developer Suite 10g

Download the installation files from Oracle repositories

  1. There are two files to download, a total of 2GB
  2. Extract the zip files and move the files inside a single folder

Once extracted, you have something like below

  1. Folder Now Switch to the second folder, which reads as “win64_11gR2_database_2of2”
  2. Open up the “components” folder (D:\Oracle11gR2_64Bit\win64_11gR2_database_2of2\database\stage\Components)
  3. There will be four sub-folders within “Components” folder, copy them to D:\Oracle11gR2_64Bit\win64_11gR2_database_1of2\database\stage\Components folder

That’s all. Just start the installation process. Make sure you have changed the virtual memory settings of your box prior the installation (If you already have developer suite 10g, you already changed it) Start the installation by executing “setup.exe” setup You will get one warning, about not meeting the recommended environment requirements (/me chuckles). We didn’t check the 32Bit version of Oracle Database 11g R2, however the method should be same. Hope you enjoyed another post from us

Linux shell script file for Start/Stop Weblogic Services

 

This time we are sharing a shell script for starting/stopping Weblogic services. This shell script can

  1. Start Weblogic Admin Server (after starting Node Manager)
  2. Once the Admin server started, you can start the forms and reports services using the Admin Console
  3. Unless conflicts, you should able to access the Oracle enterprise manager console as well

Copy the content below in plain text file first, change the extension to .sh and set the execute permissions

 

 

 

 

[sourcecode language=”bash” gutter=”false” wraplines=”true”]
#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "You must supply either start or stop command while calling this script! correct usage: weblogic_start_stop.sh start|stop"
exit
fi

bold=`tput bold`
normal=`tput sgr0`

case "$1" in
‘start’)
echo "Starting Management Node & Weblogic Server 10.3.6"

echo "Starting NodeManager"

nohup $WLS_HOME/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

sleep 10

output=`ps -ef | grep -i nodemanager.javahome | grep -v grep | awk {‘print $2’} | head -1`

set $output

pid=$1

echo "Weblogic NodeManager Service was started with process id : ${bold}$pid${normal}"

echo "Starting WebLogic Domain"

nohup $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/bin/startWebLogic.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

# Sleep until exiting
sleep 60
echo "All done, exiting"
exit
esac

case "$1" in

echo "Stopping Weblogic Server & Node Manager"

nohup $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/bin/stopWebLogic.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

sleep 30

# echo "Killing Nodemanager process now"

output=`ps -ef | grep -i nodemanager.javahome | grep -v grep | awk {‘print $2’} | head -1`
set $output
pid=$1
echo "Killing Weblogic NodeManager Service Process : ${bold}$pid${normal}"

kill -9 `ps -ef | grep -i nodemanager.javahome | grep -v grep | awk {‘print $2’} | head -1`

echo "All done, exiting"
exit
esac
