OC4J configuration assistant failure at infrastructure installation

Question

Hi all,
We want to upgrade our client server application(forms 6i and 9iDB) to Application server(3 tire). I am trying to install Oracle 9iAS Release 2, Release 9.0.2.0.1 on Win 2000 server with service pack 2.
OC4J configuration assistant is failing by showing the below error log. Please suggest me what is the problem and how to rectify it.

The configuration files for this Oracle9iAS instance are inconsistent with the

no further configuration or deployment operations are allowed until the problem with the
configuration on the filesystem is resolved. This condition arises when a prior operation was
unsuccessful. Please check the logs located at
ORACLE_HOME/dcm/logs to determine why DCM was unsuccessful in updating
the configuration files on disk. Some possible causes are:
*     permissions on files
*     file contention issues on Windows NT
*     EMD and dcmctl running concurrently
*     internal Oracle error
After resolving the problem that prevented DCM from updating the configuration

Alternatively, you can stop and then restart the active dcmctl or EMD

Please suggest me what to do and how to rectify. Can we work with forms without this component. I am getting the same component failure when I install 9IAS option on infrastructure.
With best regards and Thanks
Varma.

Answer 1

Hi,
Thank you for the information. I installed 3 times but still the same problem persists. Apache is working fine. Hosts file also configured with the same system IP. Is this component important for executing 9i forms and reports. Is there any way to install this component alone.
Can u suggest any good document about installation and configuration of Oracle 9i application for a layman in Oracle 9iAS. if you have any documents can u send them to [email protected]
Waiting for your replay....
With best regards
Varma.
