Introduction

For a couple of databases  I had to  install the Java Virtual Machine after the Database had been created. First attempt was  using the DBCA  gui  to get that done so i started it and  made the obvious choices  to work with A Rac database , to configure the database options  and selected the  Database I wanted to work with ( in the list only databases showing no instances).  DBCA was not so nice to me this time, telling me: “service name or Instance name not specified”. Hmm  well since i knew i can do without GUI  anyhow i decided to take the manual route and leave DBCA  be  for the moment. So lets saddle up and do it the old  – still – going strong  command line way .

My environment is a Linux 5 enterprise edition, my Oracle version is 11.2.3.0. My Database is a two Instance Rac Database.

Manual Installation:

In order to  install the JVM  i decided it would be best to have the database  in an exclusive way so after contacting customer  and getting his okay  my first step was to shut down the Rac database. I had two screens open  one to tail the alertlog and in  the other in the Linux Prompt i had :

srvctl stop database -d MYDB

Alert log showed that the database was coming down smoothly so it was time to set up a script to get things working:

— Start of Installation the JVM manually.
— Important note this will only work this way if there is no JVM or part of JVM present in the database
— Investigate MOS if you suspect a former wrong installation  or partly installation before proceeding

spool InstallJvm.lst;
set echo on
-- connecting as sysdba cause this is required for this install 
-- and mount the database.
connect / as sysdba
startup mount

-- set_system_trig_enabled to false and open the database
alter system set "_system_trig_enabled" = false scope=memory;
alter database open;

-- 28= 'JAVA SOURCE', 29= 'JAVA CLASS', 
--30= 'JAVARESOURCE', 32='JAVA DATA'
select obj#, name 
from obj$ 
where type#=28 
or type#=29 
or type#=30 
or namespace=32;

@?/javavm/install/initjvm.sql
select count(*), object_type 
from all_objects 
where object_type like '%JAVA%' 
group by object_type;

@?/xdk/admin/initxml.sql
select count(*), object_type 
from all_objects 
where object_type 
like '%JAVA%' 
group by object_type;

@?/xdk/admin/xmlja.sql
select count(*), object_type 
from all_objects 
where object_type 
like '%JAVA%' 
group by object_type;

@?/rdbms/admin/catjava.sql
select count(*), object_type 
from all_objects 
where object_type like '%JAVA%' 
group by object_type;

@?/rdbms/admin/catexf.sql
select count(*), object_type 
from all_objects 
where object_type like '%JAVA%' 
group by object_type;

shutdown immediate
set echo off
spool off
exit

starting the database again via the cluster:
srvctl start database -d MYDB

##  Time to go and check Health of JVM in Oracle : 
select comp_name, version, status 
from dba_registry;

COMP_NAME                                    VERSION         STATUS 
-------------------------------------------- --------------- ----------- 
Oracle Expression Filter                     11.2.0.3.0      VALID 
Oracle Application Express                   4.1.1.00.23     VALID 
Oracle XML Database                          11.2.0.3.0      VALID 
Oracle Database Catalog Views                11.2.0.3.0      VALID 
Oracle Database Packages and Types           11.2.0.3.0      VALID

Oracle XDK                                   11.2.0.3.0      VALID 
Oracle Database Java Packages                11.2.0.3.0      VALID 

##More proof: 
select owner, status, count(*) 
from all_objects 
where object_type like '%JAVA%' 
group by owner, status;   

OWNER                STATUS  COUNT(*)
-------------------- ------- ---------- 
SYS                    VALID    21580 --> In 11GR2 approx. # of objects.
EXFSYS                 VALID       48 

select role from dba_roles where role like '%JAVA%'; 

ROLE
------------------------------ 
JAVAUSERPRIV 
JAVAIDPRIV 
JAVASYSPRIV 
JAVADEBUGPRIV 
JAVA_ADMIN 
JAVA_DEPLOY 
6 rows selected.  -->  in 11GR2 # of roles.

select owner,status, count(status) 
from dba_objects 
group by owner,status 
order by 1,2; 

OWNER                          STATUS  COUNT(STATUS)
