Dbassist problems

I am trying to install Oracle 8i on
Redhat linux 6.2. I have installed
jre1.1.6_v5 as the documentation suggests.
However, I noticed that although this distribution
does not come with an rt.jar or i18n.jar,
but the dbassist script attempts to use
these files.
In an "hack" attempt, I copied the rt.jar
and i18n.jar from jdk1.1.2, but of course
that gives a SIGSEGV fault with a dump
of error messages that do not mean much to
me.
What is to be done here ? How do I get this
to work ? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Raja Kailar

JRE 116_v5 does come with an rt.jar: Just look into JAVA_HOME/lib/rt.jar.

DbAssistant Problems & Java Problems in General

Like many people in this situation, I have struggled with
installing 8.1.5. The biggest problem was that dbAssist
appeared to not install correctly (it actually installed, but
could not launch). The error is a java class exception "Could
not find java.lang.Thread."
The problem lies in that Oracle is not loading the JVM using
environment variables PATH and CLASSPATH (which is the JAVA
way). Instead they have hard-coded paths to specific classes.
Oracle products are looking for java.lang.Thread in the rt.jar
file which may or may not exist (depending on whether you have
the JDK or the JRE). Instead you may have classes.zip which
also has the java.lang.Thread class.
The fix that worked for me is simply to link rt.jar to
classes.zip.
$ cd /usr/local/jre/lib
$ ln -s classes.zip rt.jar
So far this seems to work well (in light of the total install
experience).

That's because you are using the JDK (which uses classes.zip),
instead of the JRE (which uses rt.jar) as mentioned in the docs.

HELP! Can not install Oracle 8.1.5 w/ RedHat 6.1!

I can not get Oracle 8.1.5 to install onto Linux RedHat 6.1. The
Oracle installation script generates several errors. I have
tried several attempts, using different options, but they all
generate errors.
Please help. The Oracle Installation scripts appear to be very
buggy... or perhaps they are incompatible with the standard
RedHat 6.1 release. Either way, it is very frustrating.
I have documented one of my (failed) installation attempts below.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
I am installing Oracle onto a Dell Latitude CPi PC w/ 128MB RAM,
a 366MHz Pentium II, and RedHat 6.1 (using the standard Linux
2.2.12-2 kernel). RedHat was installed using the standard "Gnome
Workstation" configuration.
The Oralce CD is labeled:
"Oralce 8i Enterprise Edition
Release 8.1.5
for Linux
(c) Oracle Corporation 1999"
I got this CD about one week ago at Oracle OpenWorld '99 in Los
Angeles... it should be their "latest & greatest" version so far.
1. Pre-Installation and ./runInstall
I created an "oracle" Unix account w/ groups "oinstall" (the
primary group) and "dba" (a secondary group).
I created directories /u01 through /u04, belonging to oracle.
I setup .cshrc and sourced it, containing:
umask 022
setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
xhost +
setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
setenv ORACLE_HOME ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.5
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest
setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
setenv NLS_LANG US7ASCII
I downloaded jre116_v5 and installed to /usr/local/jre.
Finally, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstall
Problem: I got the error (from ./runInstall):
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
Workaround: Executed the following commands instead:
cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
./runIns.sh
3. runIns.sh and root.sh
I selected the following options (from ./runIns.sh):
Source: /mnt/cdrom/stage/products.jar
Destination: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0
Typical (585MB)
Installable Components: Oralce Intelligent Agent 8.1.5.0.0
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Directory for Database Files: /u02
Then (when instructed by ./runIns.sh), I attempted to execute
(from the
"root" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
./root.sh
Problem: I got the error:
"bash: ./root.sh: Permission denied"
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x root.sh
./root.sh
5. Configuration Tools
The Oracle Installer (./runIns.sh) attempted to execute:
A. Net8 Configuration Agent
B. Oracle Database Configuration Agent
Problem: The "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" failed with
the following error message:
"One or more tools have failed. It is recommended but not
required that these tools succeed for this installation.
You can now select these tools, read its details to examine
why they have failed, fix those problems, and retry them.
Or, you can click "Next" to continue."
When I selected the "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" for
more info, I got the following additional details (as the cause
of the error):
"A required command line argument is missing."
The log file
"/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log" recorded:
"Command which is being spawned is /usr/local/jre/bin/jre

Workaround: There is obviously nothing I can do to fix this
problem. It appears to be an internal bug in ./runIns.sh.
Therefore, I selected "Next" and executed "dbassist" directly.
6. dbassist
I executed:
dbassist
Problem: I got the following error:
"JNLS Execution:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle installation."
Workaround: Press "OK" and ignore the error.
7. dbassist (cont.)
I selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Copy existing database files from the CD
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Problem: I got the following error:
"CD-ROM drive not detected on this system.
Database not created."
(Note: I've been running the installation scripts from the
CDROM drive this entire time. "df" shows the CDROM drive
mounted on /mnt/cdrom. "ls /mnt/cdrom" works too.)
Workaround: Abort (which generated the additional error: "Unable
to create database. DBCA-00003: No CD-ROM drive detected.") and
run dbassist again, this time using different parameters.
8. dbassist, again
I executed "dbassist" again and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and iM demos
Global Database Name: cprtest2.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest2
Create database now
Problem: I got the following error:
"ORA-01012: not logged on"
Workaround: Try, try again.
9. dbassist, one last time
Executed "dbassist" once more and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and interMedia
demos
Global Database Name: cprtest3.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest3
Output creation script
Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/install
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
./sqlcprtest3.sh
Problem: I got the following output:

Workaround: Beats me.
10. sqlplus
I attempted to execute sqlplus, but got the following error
message:
"/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied."
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus
sqlplus
I gave up for now... there were just too many things wrong with
this installation, starting with the very first command I was
supposed to execute (./runInstaller).
I can't fathom why Oracle's installation script has so many bugs.
Am I just doing something terribly wrong?
Please help.

I'm using enlightenment version 0.15.5-41, which is more recent
than the 0.15.5-37 version (containing the Oracle installer
patch) that you recommended. Unfortunately, it fails when using
this version.
I also tried installing Oracle using twm, with enlightenment
disabled. This didn't help either.
Furthermore, the errors that I'm encountering in the OUI are
not just toward the end of the installation. They happen from
the very beginning, right after I enter "./runInstall", and
continue every step of the way.

Problems using dbassist Oracle 8i RH 7.1

Hi I found a path for the problem of the glibc I installed running a shell
called setup_stubs.sh

I run the dbassist
but after 1% it freezed and I can-t do anything
please help me with this installation
Thanks for u time
Im running Red Hat 7.1 using Oracle 8i releases 2

try using jre 118v3 from blackdown.org
using this i could use the oracle tools without problems.

Java VM problems with dbassist

I downloaded jdk116_v5 from blackdown as instructed in the
installation manual. It's installed in /jdk116_v5 and I created
the link to /usr/local/jre also as instructed.
The installation went well until the end. It couldn't run the
dbassist. It spewed the message:
Unable to initialize threads: Cannot find class java/lang/thread
Could not create Java VM
The same message also pops up whenever I try running the
dbassist program.
The readme that came with jdk said that it does need a JAVA_HOME
and CLASSPATH. I have experimented with setting the JAVA_HOME
to /jdk116_v5 and CLASSPATH to /jdk116_v5 and also
to /jdk116_v5/lib and /jdk116_v5/lib/classes.zip but nothing
seems to solve the problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Unfortunately, (dare I say it?)
Java is not one of my strengths...
Thanks and Regards
Devin

I modified the dbassist script to add the

Oracle8i dbassist doesn't work (problem solving)

Hello.
dbassist can not initialyse the Oracle8I database.
YOU can try to install RedHat6.2 then install
Oracle8I server.
If dbassist works now, you can
upgrage RedHat6.2 to RedHat7.0.
It is the easy way to solving this problem.

Hi
Have you tried setting the LOCALE to fr_CH in your rc.conf ?(without the utf8)
or else I think you should set it to fr_CH.UTF-8 and not fr_CH.UTF8
I used the first thing to solve my problem with accents in Greek but I think the 2nd will work as well.

Oracle8i Install problem. - Cannot Create DB w/ DBAssist.

Help me!
I've tried to install 8i on redhat 6.0 with 2.2.5 kernel...
Jre worked.
Tcl worked.
runInstaller started without problem.
Netassist worked.
But! DBAssist was stucked...
At that time, Acount was 'oracle' of 'oinstall',
but dbassits said "JNLS Exception:" as usuall.
so I proceeded with "OK".
my choice was,
Create a database
Custom
OLTP
connection 5.
Dedicated server mode
off all other options ( 'cause it was first time )
sid = test0901
for all other options, I used default..
Create now...
However, that bloody DBASSIST said..
"ORA-01031 : Insufficient privilege"
Does it make sense? Manual says I shoul work on installation
with 'oracle' of 'oinstall' but DBASSIST said 'oracle' is lack
of privilege!.
so, I aborted dbassist and, I tried again as 'admin' of 'dba',
This time it said.
"DBCA-00047 : Unable to create destination directory.."
I've been spending almost 5 day with this lovely s/w....
Plz help me..T.T...
from Seoul Korea, Far East....

Make sure that the oracle user account belong to the dba group
when you create oracle user ID.

Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal
Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the
installer hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version
of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK
1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knowni ssue.htm
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are:
"Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for
JDK 1.2 Copyright (C)
1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file".
DLLs older than this will also not work. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be
affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the
post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these
tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify
"-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating
system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard
disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications
(Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD
instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles
\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the
CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataF
iles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the
first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard
drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the
modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since
the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database
during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will
not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and
there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration
Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been
successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8
Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for
the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually.
NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one
with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for
Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through
the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the
configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the
Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in
the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown
below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit
-classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from
the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal
with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

================================================================
The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on
the hard disk and renameing symcjit.dll to symcjit.old does
work to allow installation of Oracle Client 8.1.7 on a Pentium 4
This function is useful and you can find two file to rename

Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.

Oracle 8.1.6 on RedHat 8.0 libjox8.so problems

hi,
i have installed oracle 8.1.6 on RH 8. i did not create database
at install time.
After installation i applied the glibc-stubs patch from otn. Then i
started dbassist utility to create database.
After dbassist wizard has finished and database creation has started i
get an error "ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact"
when i start
sqlplus with scott/tiger i get the following error :
relocation error: /ora01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/lib/libjox8.so:
undefined symbol: __fixunssfdi
ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact
Can somebody help me out with this problem.
Thanx in advance

Install oracle 8.1.6 (64) on soralis 7 problem

when run "dbassist" , at the end, the flow error apear:
SIGSEGV 11 * segmentation violation
si_signo [11]:SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
Thank very much

I had the same problem with Oracle 9i on Mandrake 8.1. I am not sure if the same fix will work or not. See my 9i on 8.1 notes at:
http://members.home.net/joseph.j.flynn/oracle.htm
snip---
You will get a link error after all of the copying and unpacking has been done somewhere in disk 3. Leave the error message up on the screen and go edit the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh script. Blank out the LD_SELF_CONTAINED env var. Save and execute the script. Hit the retry button on the installer. The alternative approach to this involves downgrading the binutils but that seemed to get awfully messy to me. (thanks to a post from Helmut Seruega for this fix)

8i: delete db w/ dbassists leave files; should it?

Have Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 installed on RedHat 6.0.
Created database instance TEST (and tried to put the data files
in /db/oradata rather than ($ORACLE_BASE=/db/ora/)oradata [see
other post].
Tried using "dbassist" to delete the database. It proceeded
without complaint but left several files/directories for TEST.
I'm not sure if its a bug or a feature but here's what it left
behind:
all the files usally in "/db/ora/admin/test/" are still there.
just the directory "/db/oradata/test"; the data files are gone.
all the files/links usually in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs:
initTEST.ora link
lkTEST
orapwTEST
all the files usually in $ORACLE_HOME/install for "test".
I can see where the files in $ORACLE_HOME/install might be
retained (IF you can use them to recreate the database) but I
think the rest are all "missed" and need to be removed by hand
(to avoid confusion and problems if/when "test" recreated).
Comments appreciated.
Frustrated but tenacious

Problem installing Oracle 8i(8.1.7) standard edition on windows 2000 server

I am trying to install Oracle 8i (8.1.7) standard edition on windows 2000 server but the setup program doesn't run.
It starts up, allocates some ram then closes before a window even pops up.
I also have MSSQL server installed on this computer, does that conflict?
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please give a solution if you have one, thanks,
OPS

Yes. There is a bug with Pent4, Win2000 & Oracle8i.
Here is the workaround:
This is a known bug with Oracle java-based applications and Pentium 4 Use this work-around:
1) Copy the install directory from the CD to the hard disk.
2) Edit oraparam.ini and modify it as follows:
* Edit the "SOURCE=" line to to show the full path to the CD ; SOURCE={CD DRIVE LETTER}:\stage\products.jar)
* Edit the "JRE_LOCATION" line to show the full path to the CD ;
JRE_LOCATION={CD DRIVE
LETTER}:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expanded)
* Edit the "OUI_LOCATION" line to show the full path to the CD ;
OUI_LOCATION={CD DRIVE
LETTER}:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Expanded
* Edit the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to include "-nojit" as the first argument ;
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit
-ms16m -mx32m
3) Start setup.exe from your hard drive
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the install.
This way, the Database
Configuration Assistant will not be launched during installation. DONT SELECT
NET8 products for installation.
You need to put the same java parameters for the DB configurator and the Net8
Configurator
to run.
-nojit -ms16m -mx32m before -classpath on:
* assistants\dbca\DBAssist.cl
* network\tools\netca.cl
** Run the DataBaseConfigurationAssistant and NetworkConfigurationAssistant after installation.
Hope it helps!
