Re: Two Oracle owners on one box .....

Well to be honest, this is the most retarded technical requirement I've heard in a while. Standard case of not setting Oracle up correctly to meet a non-educated requirement. Anyhoo, not your fault, just ranting.

There are many ways to go about this. However, given your situation, my suggestion would be to do the following since I have limited knowledge of your environment.

1. Set up 2 oracle users. Name them something intelligable like oracle1, oracle 2 with separate user id's. Now create groups dba1, and dba2.
2. Assign the oracle1 user with the dba1 user group. Assign the oracle2 user with the dba2 group.
3. Have 2 separate ORACLE_HOME directories:
   ...product/8173_ora1/... owned by oracle1, dba1
   ...product/8173_ora2/.... owned by oracle2 dba2
   
4. Follow the instruction guide. Log in as oracle1 and perform an install.
5. Follow the instruction manual. Log in as oracle2 and perform the second install.
6. Done.

Hope this helps; comments are welcome. Many Oracle Financials environments on the same box are set up in this manner. I realize you arent running Financials here, but the execution still applies. This will give you separate listeners, etc.

Comments always welcome. Received on Thu May 16 2002 - 00:01:59 CDT
