Oracle 8.1.6 and Solaris 2.6 Issues

Is anyone aware of any "major" issues/bugs with Oracle ver. 8.1.6 running on a Solaris Ver. 2.6 SPARC environment?
Our installations "mainly" use Oracle 8i DBMS Server, Parallel Server, Application Server, & WebDb. Most of the business applications that we have are Pro*C, JAVA, and PL/SQL. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Two of the bugs I know of are the following:
- DCD (Dead Connection Detection) does not work with Multi Threaded server. This means that when a client connection chrashes, its session on the database server is not cleaned up (bug 1394008).
- Instance crashes after 248 days. After an uptime of 248 days of the machine, the instance hangs because of a timer overflow. (bug 1227119) There is a patch for this problem.
There may be more issues, but these are the major issues I know of

they will work I would like to know.

Oracle 10G installation problem, and errors on SOLARIS 10 x86

HI.
I installed the last version of oracle 10g on a x86 SOLARIS 10 system.
When the installer arrived at Configuration assistants, the window is stopping, and I can't see forward. But when I look at the installAction.log, the installation is checked as OK (?).
When I launch sqlplus, and startup inside, it is said the ora-00205 error (problem with control files), and in the end, I'm really suprised there's no the database I told the installer to create at the beginning. But should I be surprised? As I didn't see really the end of the installation, and the installer didn't propose me the PATH where to install the DB, well, I guess there's something wrong.
Could anybody tell me how to solve these problems, please?
Thank you :)

Two options:
1. Create database using DBCA - execute $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca
2. Create database manually (without DBCA)

Oracle 11g R2 on HP and Solaris

Hello All,
In the Last Week i was installing Oracle 11R2 on two HP servers and one Solaris server. i faced common issues on the three servers and i posted threads about some of these issues.
But i want to summarize it so i know the solution of each one in order not to face it again.
Below is the info
I have 3 servers, two of them are HP where Oracle 10g is installed and one Solaris server where i am doing the Oracle installation for the first time.
On the 3 servers and when i was installing Oracle 11g R2 the installation failed at the end when it was trying to create the db with this error: the file Seed_Database.dfb containing the datafiles information is missing.
knowing that i download it Oracle 11g R2 from the Oracle website for the three server. Why this file is always missed ? and even now and after i created a custom database manually (Not during the installation) i can't create a "general purpose db" through dbca because it needs this template file.
while creating the database on the 3 servers and on step 4 of 12 of the tab related to OEM is disabled. and the emctl is not automatically configured after the creation of the db. why this tab is always disabled on step 4 of 12?
Regards.

SriniI would think if the download were corrupted, as evidenced by a mis-match in the checksum, he probably never could have unzipped it, much less actually ran an install that simply didn't create some of the stuff he wanted.

No they cannot send you a document that is available only to those with access to MOS.
That would violate the conditions of having such service contract credentials.
Asking someone to violate such privileges is a serious offense and could get that other person's organization banned from all support and all their support contracts cancelled.
Your post is locked.
Your duplicate post that you placed into the Audit Vault forum space has been removed (it had no responses).
This thread which you had placed in the Solaris 10 forum space is moved to the Audit Vault forum space.
That's the proper location for Audit Vault questions.

Oracle 9i AS Release 2 (9.0.2) and Solaris 9

Hi,
Do the Oracle 9i AS Release 2 (9.0.2) support on Solaris 9 OE?
I tried to install it but it failed when configurating Oracle Internet Directory.
I ran those Oracle Internet Directory commands, and they outputs Segmentation Fault.
I noticed that the Solaris 9 is using JDK 1.4.0, does it matter?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Douglas Kong

From the install concept chart, form service and report service need to install the Infrastructure before you can proceed to install or configure form service. So, here are some gudieline for you to get the Infra Up:
1) There is an Oracle Database Server 9i will be installed with Infra, so you need to set the Kernel Parameter Settings in ur /etc/system.
2) Get at least 512M of RAM to configure the Infra component.
3) Patch the Infra
notes: all these steps are listed in install guide that can be found in technet documentation.
p/s: Only One things is left from the install.pdf -- 2nd Column and 2nd Row of /etc/hosts that needed to add the FQDN

Installation with Oracle and Solaris 9

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to install EP 6.0 sp8 with WAS 6.40 (java) on a Oracle 9.2.0.4 DB and Solaris 9 OS.
I have installed this EP version with SQL/Win without problems, but now I have several errors.
Somebody has installed this successfully ?   Any clue would be helpful.
I have 2 errors by the moment:
1) ERROR at line 1:
   ORA-00988: missing or invalid password(s)
   ORA-06512: at line 17
2) Some problem related with network adapters (My server has 4 network adapters)
thanks a lot for your help !
Regards from Mexico,
Diego Hernández

Hi Diego,
you should edit the /etc/hosts file.
Change the frontend ip adress to the servername and delete other entries for this ip adress(eg XXX-b,XXXX-c).
Start a new installation(even Database)->then you won't get different profile Startup Scripts.

Toni

Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8

Hey,
Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
Simon

I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

Installation problem of Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 10 x86

Hi,
I tried to install the Oracle 8.1.7 on solaris 10 x86 and I got an error message shows: "cannot write to /opt/oracle/product/8.1.7/jar/classes2.jar".checking the log it shows:
Exception: IOException2
and exception: copyGroupFromJar. I ignored the error but the installation failed.By the way, I was not asked to run root.sh during the installation. Can anyone kindly tell me how to make it?

zeushd

Here are some additional statements for 10g on Solaris 10g x86:
1. Execute runInstaller with the -ignoreSysPrereqs option.
2. Select 'Do not create a starter database' when installing Oracle 10g.
3. During installation, the warning message 'SUNWsprox package not installed' can be ignored. Press Continue to resume the installation.
4. Download and install patch 4186426 from metalink.oracle.com after installing Oracle 10g software.
5. If you have an End User Solaris 10 distribution, install the SUNWuiu8 package prior to installing the 10g client.

Petstore 1.3 with Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 9 - deployment error

Hello,
I'm trying to get Petstore 1.3 shipped with WebLogic Server 7.0 to work with Oracle
8.1.7 on Solaris 9 with a third-party (Oracle) jdbc driver (classes12). I did
the following:
1) created a new connection pool with the correct Oracle database URL and driver
class name (oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver), also user/password properties for
the Oracle db, and the WL server selected in targets;
2) created a database schema for Oracle based on the data in Pointbase and the
weblogic-cmp-rdbms-jar file as well as petstore_catalog_utf8.sql;
3) created a new tx datasource pointing to the Oracle conn pool;
4) modified the catalog component's ejb-jar.xml file's env-entry to contain CatalogOracleDAOImpl;
5) put weblogic.jar in the classpath;
6) used Java's dbping utility to check connection to the database via the Oracle
driver (works fine--no network adapter error or anything related).
I then rebuilt the ear files (build is successful), but when deploying get the
following error:
"Cannot deploy EJB AccountEJB from customerEjb.jar. Cannot find datasource for
JNDI datasource-petstorePool" and says to make sure the JNDI name and deployment
descriptors are correct (I checked the customer component's deployment descriptors
against the tx datasources' JNDI and they match).
What step(s) am I missing? Any suggestions on what else I need to modify would
be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Beverly Claire

Beverly:
If you have 8.1, then you should be able to simply and easily create a
connection pool to petstore via the console.
The current error you encountering: "petstorePool does not exist" is
because either:
petstorePool is not defined or there was a failure when the pool was first
created trying to connect to the DBMS.
The full errror should be in the log file prior to the TXDatasource error.
Cheers

Hello Rob,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the tx datasource's JNDI name isdatasource-petstorePool.
The server log says that "petstorePool does not exist".
My conn pool contents:
Name: petstorePool
URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@<replaced with db address>:<replaced with dbport>:<replaced
with db SID>
Driver Class Name: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Properties: user=<replaced with username*>

*same username and password used to set up the Petstore tables in Oracledb.

No, actually we're not evaluating in the sense of just-trying-things-out.One
of our clients is considering an application server. They're relying on usfor
help in choosing which would be best. As of now, we are comparing BEA WLServer
7 and 8.1, Sun ONE Application Server 7 EE, Oracle 9i Application Server,and
Fujitsu Interstage v5 Application Server. For cluster testing andperformance
comparison purposes, we'd like to use the same J2EE Application across allservers,
and the obvious choice is Petstore 1.3. One aim is to smoothly connect toan Oracle
database. The other app servers provide setup scripts and databaseschemas for
Petstore-with-Oracle, so db conn and deployment are not a problem at all.As for
WL, we've been trying to get Petstore (both the version downloaded fromSun's
Java Blueprints and the version that shipped with WL 7) to work withOracle, but
no luck so far. It's getting a bit frustrating, given the ease with whichthings
worked out with the other app servers.
Yes, I've tried out Avitek MedRec for WL 8.1, and this time BEA has kindlymade
provisions for Oracle db, so connection to Oracle is not a problem. I'mhoping
BEA will come around to doing the same thing for Petstore, although I'mguessing
that won't be in the near future.
Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bevery Claire

Isqlplus with oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 9x86

I installed oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 9x86, all is fine.
But I dont see any where that I could use isqlplus through nestcape.
Is there any way that I could start isqlplus through my browser.
Please help!!!

You mean that I can install isqlplus from oracle9i into my oracle8.1.7.You would need to install into a new Oracle9i-only directory (i.e. a
new ORACLE_HOME). The iSQL*Plus in it would be able to connect to
your existing 8.1.7 database using Oracle Net.
Unfortunately I see 9i is not supported on Solaris x86 (though 10g is
"projected".)
The French iSQL*Plus 8.1.7 document you refer to talks about the first
pre-production version of iSQL*Plus released. It cannot be
recommended for use, and is no longer available.
