1 Oracle9i Installation Planning This chapter describes the Oracle9i installation types and configurations.
Oracle9i Installation Overview Oracle9i Installation Overview The installation of Oracle9i products has five stages: 1. Planning your installation: Use this chapter to help you plan and prepare for your installation. This chapter provides information about products, installation types, database configurations, and concepts that you should be aware of during planning and installation. 2.
Oracle9i Installation Overview Oracle9i Database The Oracle9i Database is an object-oriented relational database management system that consists of an Oracle database and an Oracle instance. It may be installed in one of three installation types: Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, or Custom installation. ■ ■ ■ Enterprise Edition: If you select this type, then the Oracle Universal Installer installs a preconfigured starter database, licensable Oracle options, networking services, and Oracle utilities.
Oracle9i Database Configurations Oracle9i Database Configurations When you install the Oracle9i database product, you are prompted to select a database configuration that is suited to your needs. Select from one of five Oracle9i database configurations: 1. General Purpose 2. Online Transaction Processing 3. Data Warehouse 4. Customized 5. Software Only Options one through three are preconfigured databases that you can use for your Oracle9i database.
Oracle9i Database Configurations Customized This environment allows you to create a customized database configuration of Oracle products that meets specialized requirements. Select this option only if you are prepared to provide detailed product and database environment choices. Choosing this option requires a longer installation session than choosing a preconfigured database. Software Only This choice allows you to install Oracle products.
Oracle9i Database Configurations The following list provides descriptions of database configurations: ■ General Purpose configuration: If you select this option with an Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition installation, then the Database Configuration Assistant creates a preconfigured, ready-to-use, multipurpose database with the following features: ■ ■ ■ ■ Default initialization parameters using server parameter file and Automatic Undo Management ■ Automatic installation and configuration of Orac
Installation With Existing Oracle Databases ■ Software Only option: If you select this option, then the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) installs only Oracle9i software. Database Configuration Assistant does not start after installation, and no preconfigured database is installed. If a choice other than "Software Only option" is selected for database configuration, then OUI will launch DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) during the installation session.
System Installation Requirements System Installation Requirements Verify that your system meets the requirements that are described in the following sections before you install Oracle9i products. Note: You will not be able to complete an installation if your system does not meet the minimum requirements for the Oracle products that you select.
System Installation Requirements Minimum global pages/sections an amount of disk space equal to twice the amount of RAM for most systems. CD-ROM Device A CD-ROM drive supported by HP OpenVMS is required. Oracle uses ODS-5 format CD-ROM disks. File System ODS-5 is required for the software. Refer to Chapter 2, "Release Information" for details.
System Installation Requirements Table 1–1 Disk Space Requirements for Oracle9i Server Installation Type Required Disk Space Enterprise Edition 3.3 GB Standard Edition 3.3 GB Custom depends upon the components selected, but a minimum of 2 GB From a staging area on disk 1 GB Table 1–2 lists the disk space requirements for Oracle9i Client.
System Installation Requirements Operating System Software Requirements Table 1–3 lists the operating system software requirements for Oracle9i products. Table 1–3 Operating System Software Requirements Software Requirements Operating System HP OpenVMS version 7.3 Oracle Net Requirements Oracle Net on HP OpenVMS is developed and certified using Hewlett-Packard TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (UCX). If you wish to use the TCP/IP protocol adapter for Oracle Net, then you should have Version 5.
System Installation Requirements If a clock is not displayed on your screen, then X-Windows is not configured correctly. See "Set Display" on page 3-19 for instructions on configuring X-Windows. Oracle Net VMS Mailbox Driver The Oracle Net VMS Mailbox driver (protocol IPC) is included in NETWORK. You do not need an Oracle Net license to use the VMS Mailbox driver.
Product Dependencies Product Dependencies Some Oracle products depend on other Oracle products to work properly. Use the following tables to determine the product dependencies. This section has the following subsections: ■ Important Compatibility Issues ■ Additional Product-Specific Installation Requirements Important Compatibility Issues Warning: If you are upgrading to Oracle9i from a previous version, then ensure that you have no Oracle symbols and logicals defined prior to installing Oracle9i.
Product Dependencies List of the Restrictions and Requirements for Oracle9i and Options. Product Name: Restrictions and Requirements Oracle interMedia 9.2.0.2.0: You must have at least 10 MB of disk space available for the interMedia Text data dictionary. Oracle Visual Information Retrieval 9.2.0.2.0: Requires Oracle interMedia 9.2.0.2.0 List of the Restrictions and Requirements for Tools and Precompilers. Product Name: Restrictions and Requirements Java Runtime Environment (JRE): JRE 1.1.8-5.
Configuration Restrictions Oracle Advanced Security 9.2.0.2.0: Refer to "Oracle Advanced Security" on page 1-15 for information about Oracle Advanced Security authentication support requirements. Oracle TCP/IP with SSL Protocol Support 9.2.0.2.0: SSL 3.0 or later Oracle Advanced Security Oracle Advanced Security is an add-on product that will be added to the standard Oracle Net Server or Oracle Net Client. If you purchase it, then install it on both the server and the client.
Oracle Net Linking Options Copying Oracle Executables Moving executables from one OpenVMS machine to another is not recommended due to the usage of shared libraries and to the difficulty of ensuring valid referencing. Oracle Corporation therefore recommends that you relink executables. Oracle Net Linking Options Keep the following guidelines in mind when linking Oracle Net: ■ ■ The Net Mailbox Adapter (IPC) is always installed. It provides inter-process communications through OpenVMS Mailboxes.
Silent Mode Installation using the –responseFile argument instead of interactive GUI input and output. If the -responseFile flag is given, then the installation is assumed to be a silent mode type. Note: Because the design of OUI causes GUI classes to be loaded (but not displayed), a silent installation still requires an X connection. A silent installation can also be performed in BATCH mode, as long as the process has established an X connection via the SET DISPLAY command.
Silent Mode Installation What Is a Response File? A response file contains answers to installation questions that otherwise would be provided by the user in an interactive installation session. Each answer is stored as a value for a variable that is identified in the response file. For example, values for ORACLE_HOME or Install Type can be set automatically within the response file. Response file templates are generated by the installation developer.
Silent Mode Installation FROM_LOCATION is the complete path of the source of the products to be installed (in other words, to the [.Disk1.stage]products.jar file) from CD number 1. If contents of CDs were copied to a local file system, then specify that path. ORACLE_HOME is the directory into which the Oracle software will be installed.
Silent Mode Installation 1-20 Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.
2 Release Information This chapter provides information specific to this release of Oracle9i for HP OpenVMS.
Product Set Product Set The following components are included on the product CD-ROM: Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2) Oracle Net Release 2 (9.2.0.2) Changes and Enhancements In order to take full advantage of the latest OpenVMS CPU and compiler optimizations in Oracle software products, Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2) and associated Oracle9i Release 2-based products will require HP OpenVMS AlphaServers with EV56 or later generation CPUs.
Changes and Enhancements Oracle9i Release 2 Dependency on ODS-5 Disk Structure In general, ODS-5 format allows VMS to support Microsoft Windows file naming formats. Longer file names, additional character support, and the ability to have lowercase and mixed-case file names are some of the features supported on ODS-5 disks. The disks on which the Oracle code tree resides must be formatted in Files-11 On-Disk Structure Level 5 (ODS-5) format.
Changes and Enhancements Checking Disk Format To check the current disk format, use the following DCL command: $ SHOW DEVICE/FULL The Volume Status: will display the current ODS level. The default when initializing disks is ODS-2. Changing Disk Format If you plan to reformat an existing (in use) disk from ODS-2 to ODS-5 format, then do the following: 1. Make at least one VMS backup of the disk. 2.
Changes and Enhancements Initialization Parameters in Oracle9i Release 2 That Have Been Desupported ALWAYS_ANTI_JOIN ALWAYS_SEMI_JOIN JOB_QUEUE_INTERVAL OPTIMIZER_PERCENT_PARALLEL HASH_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT DB_BLOCK_LRU_LATCHES DB_BLOCK_MAX_DIRTY_TARGET SORT_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT DB_FILE_DIRECT_IO_COUNT GC_DEFER_TIME GC_RELEASABLE_LOCKS GC_ROLLBACK_LOCKS LM_LOCKS LM_RESS USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS Initialization Parameters in Oracle9i Release 2 That Are Becoming Obsolete ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS FAST_START_IO_TARGE
Known Restrictions Known Restrictions RMAN Runs Only Over TCP/IP The connection to both the catalog and the database must be a TCP/IP connection. OpenVMS OpenVMS always performs its I/O asynchronously. Several init.ora parameters that mimic asynchronous behavior are not needed on OpenVMS. Refer to the Oracle9i Administrator’s Guide, section 1.5.3 for the list of parameters that are not supported on OpenVMS.
Known Restrictions EJB BEANS Oracle9i for HP OpenVMS does not support EJB on the server. If customers have iAS in mid tier, however, they can still use the database on OpenVMS in order to use EJB.
Known Restrictions 2-8 Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.
3 CD-ROM Pre-installation Requirements This chapter describes the pre-installation steps required for an Oracle9i software installation.
HP OpenVMS and Installation-Specific Issues and Restrictions HP OpenVMS and Installation-Specific Issues and Restrictions The following issues and restrictions can affect the installation or use of Oracle9i on HP OpenVMS Alpha. Re-installing Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2) If you re-install Oracle9i server into an ORACLE_HOME where Oracle9i server Release 2 (9.2.0.
HP OpenVMS and Installation-Specific Issues and Restrictions Upgrading and Migrating If you are upgrading an existing system, then some issues may exist that exceed the scope of this manual. It is possible to migrate Oracle8i Release 2 (8.1.6) and Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7) and Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1) to Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.2).
Installation Procedure Requirements ■ ■ Exceed does not handle screen coordinates correctly. The Oracle Universal Installer window and related Oracle Universal Installer dialogs or configuration assistants can encounter display problems when run through the emulator. One display problem is the sudden truncation of the main window when clicking the Next button during the installation, rendering the screen unreadable.
Installation Procedure Requirements Oracle Server Database Administrator Account Create an HP OpenVMS Alpha user account to administer the Oracle9i Enterprise Edition installation and maintenance, or modify your existing Oracle user account to meet the account quotas and privileges that are specified in this guide. Setting up an Oracle9i account is the same as setting up any other HP OpenVMS Alpha user account. The following are the steps to set up an Oracle9i account: 1.
Installation Procedure Requirements Although this guide refers to this account as the Oracle9i account, you can assign any name or number to the account with the UIC restrictions noted below. The Oracle9i account will own the runtime libraries and executable images for every Oracle product. Therefore, the database administrator (DBA) should manage this account and install all Oracle products from it.
Installation Procedure Requirements $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM $ RUN AUTHORIZE 2. At the UAF prompt, enter the ADD command to create the user account from which you will install the product software: UAF> ADD Oracle9i /PASSWORD=ORACLE/UIC=[277,100]/DEVICE=/DIRECTORY=[Oracle9i]/OWNER="ORACLE DBA" In this example, the account name is Oracle9i. Note that the UIC GROUP number is 277. The UIC GROUP number must be larger than MAXSYSGROUP.
Installation Procedure Requirements Setting Account Privileges The following privileges are required as both authorized and default privileges for the Oracle9i database administrator account: Note: An exception is explained in "Security Issues with Multiple Databases" on page 3-12.
Installation Procedure Requirements At the UAF prompt, use the MODIFY command to add the required default and authorized privileges as follows: UAF> MODIFY ORACLE9 /PRIVILEGE=(CMKRNL,NETMBX,OPER,PFNMAP,PRMGBL,PRMMBX,SHARE,SYSGBL, SYSNAM,TMPMBX,GROUP,GRPNAM,IMPERSONATE,LOG_IO,WORLD,SYSLCK, SYSPRV) /DEFPRIVILEGE=(CMKRNL,NETMBX,OPER,PFNMAP,PRMGBL,PRMMBX,SHARE, SYSGBL, SYSNAM,TMPMBX,GROUP,GRPNAM,IMPERSONATE,LOG_IO,WORLD,SYSLCK, SYSPRV) Setting Account Quotas Use the AUTHORIZE utility to change account quotas
Installation Procedure Requirements Table 3–1 Oracle9i Account Quotas (Cont.
Installation Procedure Requirements Then grant the rights identifier to the Oracle9i account as follows: UAF> GRANT/IDENTIFIER ORA_TEST_DBA ORACLE9i If you add the ORA_TEST_DBA rights identifier, but grant only ORA_DBA to ORACLE9i, then the account would have insufficient privileges to administer the instance TEST. The third line of the table shows that you can add and grant different identifiers, thereby restricting control of a particular instance while still granting control to other instances.
Installation Procedure Requirements Process Rights for Intelligent Agent (OEMAGENT) To install the Intelligent Agent, you must add the ORA_AGENT_ID identifier to your system before starting the installation. Use the following command: UAF > ADD/IDENTIFIER ORA_AGENT_ID All users that will submit jobs to the Intelligent Agent must have ORA_AGENT_ID.
HP OpenVMS Alpha SYSGEN Parameters HP OpenVMS Alpha SYSGEN Parameters For instructions on calculating MIN_GBLPAGES, MIN_GBLSECTIONS, and MIN_MAXBOBMEM, refer to the READMEVMS.DOC in the RDBMS directory. Using the Reserved Memory Registry Through its interface within the SYSMAN utility, the Reserved Memory Registry allows an HP OpenVMS Alpha system to be configured with large amounts of memory set aside for use within memory-resident global sections.
HP OpenVMS Alpha SYSGEN Parameters ** ** ** ** Reserved memory size = greater than created SGA size = ** Please reduce reserved memory size to avoid wasting memory. ** Memory was not reserved for the SGA. SGA size = ** There might be performance advantages to allocating memory for the SGA in the VMS reserved memory registry. ** If memory is reserved for an SGA, but not enough memory is reserved, then the instance startup will fail.
HP OpenVMS Alpha SYSGEN Parameters the DBA and system administrator may be the same person. The instructions in this section are directed to the system administrator. For setting or modifying SYSGEN parameters, OpenVMS provides the AUTOGEN utility. You can also use SYSGEN, but this is an older utility, and its use is discouraged, except perhaps for checking current values. You must have SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege to run these utilities.
HP OpenVMS Alpha System Configuration Warning: The REBOOT parameter in this example will cause the system to automatically reboot when the SYSGEN is complete. This step generates new SYSGEN parameters in a file named SETPARAMS.DAT and runs the SYSGEN utility to set these parameter values as specified in that file. See Also: For more information about using the AUTOGEN utility, see the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference.
Setup Tasks to Perform as the SYSTEM User ■ Create an OpenVMS Account to Own Oracle Software ■ Create an OpenVMS Account to Own the Apache Server Create an OpenVMS Account to Own Oracle Software The oracle9 account is the OpenVMS user account that owns the Oracle9i software after installation. Run Oracle Universal Installer with this user account. Use the AUTHORIZE utility to create an oracle9 account with the following properties: Table 3–4 lists the properties of Oracle9i accounts.
Setup Tasks to Perform as the Oracle User privileges to run the Apache Server on a port < 1023. Images that are linked with privileges during installation in the 'oracle' account ensure that this can be done. For details on how to configure the server to run as a user other than the 'oracle' user, refer to section "Customizing the Server Environment" on page D-8.
Setup Tasks for Oracle Products Set Display Before starting the Oracle Universal Installer, set your display appropriately. Enter: $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE= and verify that it is correct by using the following command: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK Refer to each logical entry in this section for instructions on setting the logical correctly.
Setup Tasks for Oracle Products Java Runtime Environment The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is certified for use with Oracle9i software is used by Oracle Java applications such as the Oracle Universal Installer and is the only Java application supported to run with these applications. Do not modify this JRE unless you use a patch that is provided by Oracle Support Services.
4 Installation This chapter describes how to start the Oracle Universal Installer and how to install Oracle9i products on your system. Review and complete the tasks that are listed in Chapter 1, "Oracle9i Installation Planning" and Chapter 3, "CD-ROM Pre-installation Requirements" before beginning the installation.
Installation Mount Options Installation Mount Options Mount and Unmount the Oracle9i CD-ROM If you run the Oracle Universal Installer while the current working directory is in the CD-ROM, then perform the following steps to mount the next CD-ROM: Mount the Oracle9i CD-ROM device.

Oracle Universal Installer 4-12 Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.
5 Post-Installation After completing the Oracle Universal Installer session, you must perform certain post-installation steps, and you must configure Oracle9i.
Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) Interactive Mode To invoke DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) in the interactive mode, perform the following: 1. Set up the X-Windows environment by using the following DCL command: SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE=< workstation_name or IP_address> 2. Invoke @orauser.com 3. Invoke dbca.com The DBCA GUI appears.
Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) Note: Because the DBCA design (in a similar manner to that of the Oracle Universal Installer) causes GUI classes to be loaded (even in silent mode), a silent installation still requires an X connection. The following sections contain examples that illustrate the use of silent mode. DBCA Silent Mode Example 1: Creating a Clone Database To create a clone database, enter the following into SYS$SCRATCH:DBCA.
Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) -templateName copy_of_ora9i -datafileJarLocation /disk$disk1/oracle9i/ora9i/assistants/dbca/templates Then, assuming that the ORACLE_HOME environment is set up by executing the orauser script, invoke DBCA. Log files for creating a seed template are located in the [.assistants.dbca.logs] directory. Using DBCA Response Files An alternative to creating an argument file to pass command line options to DBCA is to use a response file.

User Passwords User Passwords Oracle Corporation recommends that you change the password for user names immediately after installation. To change a password: 1. Start SQL*Plus by using the following command: $ sqlplus 2. Connect with the user name and password that you want to change by using the following command: Enter user-name: username/password 3.
Configuration Tasks to Perform as the Oracle User Automate Database Startup and Shutdown (Optional) You can configure your system to automatically start Oracle databases when your system starts up and to shut down Oracle databases when your system shuts down. Automating database startup is optional, but automatic shutdown is recommended because it guards against improper shutdown of the database. Configuration Tasks to Perform as the Oracle User Perform the following task as the oracle user.
Post-Installation for Oracle Products Post-Installation for Oracle Products Perform the product-specific steps as necessary for your installation. Not all products require post-installation setup. It is not necessary to read product documentation before completing the configuration tasks in this manual, but more sophisticated tuning requires information that is located in the product documentation.
Post-Installation for Oracle Products If you can successfully connect to the server with SQL*Plus, then you have established network connectivity over TCP/IP. For more advanced network configuration, refer to the Oracle9i Net Services Administrator’s Guide. Oracle Options Oracle interMedia Note: There is no upgrade from previous releases of ConText Cartridge to Oracle interMedia Text. However, there is a migration that can be performed manually.
Post-Installation for Oracle Products Oracle Precompilers The following list provides references and configuration files that are associated with Oracle precompilers. Pro*C/C++ For precompiler Pro*C/C++, the configuration file is pcscfg.cfg. This file installs without content. Use any text editor to customize it to your site requirements. For more information on configuring the pcscfg.cfg file, refer to Pro*C/C++ Precompiler Programmer’s Guide.
Post-Installation for Oracle Products PROTOTYPE INFO For precompiler PROTOTYPE INFO, the configuration file is xxxcfg.cfg. This file installs without content. Use any text editor to customize it to your site requirements. For more information on configuring the pmscfg.cfg file, refer to the SQL*Module for Ada Programmer’s Guide. Note: You cannot use Oracle Precompilers independently of Oracle9i to convert embedded PL/SQL.
Starter Database Contents Starter Database Contents The starter database is a seed database that is shipped with the Oracle9i software. It contains all that is needed in a "general purpose" environment. If the starter database files are selected, then the Oracle Universal Installer will install the starter database. The following sections provide database administrative information on the default starter database, as well as basic information on Oracle database usernames, passwords, and file locations.
Starter Database Contents Unlocking and Resetting Passwords Manually To manually change a password and unlock an account, review the list of default administrative user names, passwords, and functions in Table 5–1, "Default User Names and Passwords". Select a user, and then unlock and reset the password by using the following commands: 1. Start SQL*Plus and log in as SYSDBA by using the following commands: $ sqlplus /nolog SQL> connect / as sysdba 2.
Starter Database Contents Table 5–1 describes the default user names and passwords. Table 5–1 Default User Names and Passwords User Name Password Description See Also CTXSYS CTXSYS CTXSYS is the Oracle Text user name with CONNECT, DBA, and RESOURCE database roles. Oracle9i Oracle Text Reference DBSNMP DBSNMP Oracle Intelligent Agent DBSNMP includes the CONNECT, RESOURCE, User’s Guide and SNMPAGENT database roles. Run catnsnmp.sql if you want to delete this role and user.
Starter Database Contents Table 5–1 Default User Names and Passwords (Cont.) User Name Password Description SYS CHANGE_ON SYS is used for performing database _INSTALL administration tasks.
Starter Database Contents Note: Any database user can be granted limited SYS role database privileges to use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Diagnostics Pack. Grant users access to these necessary SYS privileges by granting them the OEM_MONITOR role. This role is created when the database is installed. The role is defined in the following SQL script: ora_root:[rdbms.admin]catsnmp.
Starter Database Contents The DB_NAME parameter and the DB_DOMAIN name parameter combine to create the global database name value that is assigned to the SERVICE_NAMES parameter in the init.ora file. The System Identifier (SID) identifies a specific Oracle9i database instance. The SID uniquely distinguishes a database from any other database on the same computer. Multiple ORACLE_HOME directories enable you to have multiple, active Oracle databases on a single computer.
Starter Database Contents Table 5–2 Tablespaces and Data Files (Cont.) Tablespace Data File Contains... SYSTEM system01.dbf The data dictionary.

Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS http://www.apache.org/docs/handler.html Content Negotiation The MOD_NEGOTIATION module provides content negotiation. This module lets you specify language variants of HTML files. To specify language variants on OpenVMS, use an underscore instead of a period before the language extension. For example: ■ On UNIX, filename.html.fr is the French variant of filename.html. ■ On OpenVMS, filename.html_fr is the French variant of filename.html.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS File Naming Conventions In general, users who are running the Oracle HTTP Server for OpenVMS can specify either UNIX-style file names or OpenVMS-style file names. The Oracle HTTP Server usually displays UNIX-style file names. The ODS-5 volume structure, introduced in HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2-1, supports long file names, allows the use of a wider range of characters within file names, and preserves case within file names.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS $ SET SECURITY/ACL=(IDENTIFIER=yourFTPname,ACCESS=READ+WRITE) [directory] When replacing existing files: $ SET SECURITY/ACL=(IDENTIFIER=yourFTPname,ACCESS=READ+WRITE) [directory]*.* Logical Names The Oracle HTTP Server for OpenVMS creates the following logical names, which are listed with their descriptions in table Table D–2.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS Table D–2 Oracle HTTP Server Logical Names and Their Descriptions Logical Name Description APACHE$SPECIFIC Concealed logical name that defines system-specific files in APACHE$ROOT (device:[APACHE.SPECIFIC.node-name]) APACHE$CGI_MODE System logical name that controls how CGI environment logicals are defined in the executing CGI process. There are three different options. Note that only one option is available at a time. 0 Default.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS Table D–2 Oracle HTTP Server Logical Names and Their Descriptions Logical Name Description APACHE$CGI_USE_DCLCOM_FOR_IMAGES If defined, this system logical name forces CGI images to execute within a DCL process. The default is to execute CGI images directly. (Note: Direct execution of CGI images in not currently supported.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS To avoid confusion, always use the appropriate concealed logical name to specify the file that you want to edit. For example, to edit a clusterwide version of HTTPD.CONF, refer to: $ EDIT APACHE$COMMON:[CONF]HTTPD.CONF If you referred to: $ EDIT APACHE$ROOT:[CONF]HTTPD.CONF then the server would open the clusterwide file but save it as a system-specific version. The latest version of HTTPD.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS CGI Environment Logical By default, an environment logical symbol takes the form that is designated by the name of the environment logical. You can determine how environment logicals are set when the server executes a CGI program. You can define the APACHE$PREFIX_DCL_CGI_SYMOBLS_WWW logical name to prefix all environment logical symbols with "WWW_". By default, no prefix is used.
Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS Referencing Input CGI scripts that reference input to the Oracle HTTP Server must refer to APACHE$INPUT. Executing CGI On OpenVMS, CGI images execute within a DCL process. You cannot execute CGI images directly. Logicals for Debugging CGI Scripts Use the following logicals to debug CGI scripts: Logical Name: Description APACHE$DEBUG_DCL_CGI: If defined, this system logical name enables APACHE$VERIFY_DCL_CGI and APACHE$SHOW_CGI_SYMBOL.
Security Information $ $ $ $ SAY "Content-type: image/gif" SAY "" APACHE$DCL_BIN APACHE$ROOT:[ICONS]APACHE_PB.GIF EXIT Running the Oracle HTTP Server on OpenVMS 3ñ19 Security Information The Oracle HTTP Server for OpenVMS is a non-privileged, user-mode, socket-based network application. TMPMBX and NETMBX are the only privilege requirements. The server runs under its own unique UIC and user account (ORACLE).
Security Information ■ Changing the "carriage-control" attribute on socket (BG) devices. The server also enables or disables (or both) the carriage-control attribute on BG (socket) devices for certain stream operations. Two protected, shareable images are installed at startup to allow the server to perform these functions: ■ APACHE$PRIVILEGED.EXE (exec-mode services) ■ APACHE$FIXBG.EXE (kernel-mode services) The APACHE$PRIVILEGED.
Apache logical names are placed in the system logical name table. Shutdown is accomplished by sending a KILL signal to the master process and its subprocess. These actions require enhanced privileges (DETACH, SYSNAM, WORLD, and so forth) and are usually performed from a suitably privileged account. File Ownership and Protection All of the server files reside under its root directories that are pointed to by the APACHE$ROOT logical name.
