9.0.4 OID Upgrade Assistant - Infrastructure install ora-00911

Hi,
upgrading from 9.0.2 to 9.0.4 on windows server.
Configuration assistant failed on Internet Directory Upgrade Assistant
output:
Non-SSL port:4032
4031
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911:invalid character
My upgrade is sitting here going nowhere and my searches have not yielded an answer - any assistance would be very much appreciated
Thx, Pat

Hi Mojo,
There is no direct upgrade path fro 9.0.4 to 11g as you have OID involved so that latest being 11.1.1.7.0.
In order to upgrade Oracle Application Server to 11g the first step is to upgrade the 9.0.4 to 10.1.2.3 which is a manadatory prerequisite.
So in-order to get Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 you need to create an SR with Shipment team as 10.1.2.0.2 is de-supported since Jan 1st 2012 and the download the path "5983622" to upgrade
10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.3.Once the upgrade is successfull then you need to proceed to to 11g upgrade.
Also there are some limitations of using Application Server 10.1.2.3 on DB 11gR2 for which please review the note:887365.1 "Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Certification for Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4)"
Regards,
Prakash.

IDM/OID upgrade assistant (UA) failed in the examination - on 11.1.1.2

Does anyone have problem upgrading Oracle Identity Management/OID from 10.1.2.3 to 11.1.1.2 on Linux SUSE-10 64-bit?.
1. Upgrade Oracle seed DB 10.1.0.5 32-bit to 10.2.0.4 64-bit. Using DBUA - OK, no problem.
2. Started As 10.1.2.3 Infrastucture - IDM/OID/Metadata Repository and Middle Tier - Portal/Forms/Reports/Discoverers - OK, No problem.
3. Installed Weblogic 10.3.2 - OK, No problem.
4. Installed NEW 11.1.1.2 IDM/OID components OID and DIP only - OK, No problem.
5. Run ua (upgrade assistant) to upgrade OID to 11.1.1.2 and got error - Examination OID failed. UA stopped.
Installed 64-bit Fusion Middleware IDM/OID - Probably this is the problem?.
Have not tried the 32-bit Fusion Middleware IDM/OID yet.
Had a SR opened with Oracle Support and have no solution yet.
Follow the instructions from:

Hi Milan,
take a look to "Oracle Database Data Cartridge Developer's Guide" [http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10765/dom_idx.htm#autoId50] (here is the 11g rel2 version but is the same with 9i)
Domain Indexes and SQLLoader*
SQLLoader conventional path loads and direct path loads are supported for tables on which domain indexes are defined, with two limitations:
-The table must be heap-organized.
+-The domain index cannot be defined on a LOB column.+
To do a direct path load on a domain index defined on an IOT or on a LOB column, perform these tasks:
-Drop the domain index
-Do the direct path load in SQL*Loader.
-Re-create the domain indexes.
doesn't seem to be possible to use "direct path method" with spatial (domain) indexes
i hope for you that there is a workaround ...
good luck,
CarlT

Oracle9iAS Infrastructure install

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle9iAS Infrastrcuture on Red Hat 8.0. I know it is not certified but don't have a choice at this point but to give it a try. The install went fine till the DBCA part where it blew up with an ORA 1503 error in creating control file. I tried to resolve it, but have not succeeded. Does anyone know a work around ? Also how do we bring up the configuration assistant to install the components that have not installed fine. Just the ones that failed. Do we have to uninstall and do a full re-install. Thanks for ur help.
SV

9iASR2 doesn't require a pre-installed DB (has a built-in 9i for Portal repository+OID = infrastructure). But maybe you already knew that ;)
To install R2 on a single PC:
- install infrastructure in its own home
- install 9iAS R2 in own its home
Beware of confusion (tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora) since you now have 3 different HOMEs. Also - please note that starting R2 on Win2K can be tricky since they need to be started an specific order (something not very clearly noted anywhere).
Good luck!

Windows 8 installation - Upgrade Assistant compatibility Issue - Bluetooth Win7 Suite

Having procured an on-line download of Windows 8, from the Microsoft web site, I am a little concerned about an incompatibility identified by the Microsoft
Upgrade Assistant; namely:-
"Bluetooth Win7 Suite (64) - Atheros Communications"
This incompatibility was identified after restoration of an original copy of the Windows 7 operating system, as installed by the manufacturer of my PC! (Recovered from an Acronis image).
That is, the operating system, prior to installation of any personal software, or external hardware, or divers!
Hence, I can only assume, that "Bluetooth Win7 Suite (64)" is a sub component of one of the original components of the computer:
ASUS P8Z68-V LE Motherboard
NVIDIA Quadro 600 1024MB Professional Video Card
Intel i7 2600K Processor (3.4 GHz - no over-clocking)
16GB Corsair PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (4x4 GB sticks)
Qty 2 Sony 24x DVD-RW drives
Qty 2 120GB Corsair Force 3 SSD (No Raid)
Qty 1 1000GB 7200 HDD
Onboard High Definition Audio
My plan was to perform a clean installation of Windows 8, but I have no understanding what the implications of this incompatibility will be!
Namely, what the function of Bluetooth Win7 Suite (64), is! And what hardware it is associated with!
Whether a clean installation will work, without Bluetooth Win7 Suite (64)
Whether Windows 8 install will have onboard drivers, for all of the above hardware!
After installation of Windows 8, and installation of the manufactures latest drivers, for the Motherboard and Video Card, will I have to search elsewhere
for a driver for the Bluetooth Win7 Suite (64)
I would appreciate any advice on this matter!
Brian

Hi,
Based on my research, it seems that Bluetooth Win7 Suite (64) is a program developed by Atheros Communications.
So, do you have any Bluetooth device? Did you install it?
Please also check if it lists in Programs and Features.
However, if you do not have any Bluetooth device or you do not use this program, in my opinion, it will not affect the installation of Windows 8.
Hope this helps.

Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant failed on Satellite P775

I tried running the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant on my Satellite P775.
It started by displaying
Checking Components; download Windows 8 Components data.
Reading Components.
Got component TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Indicator
... etc ...
Got Component TOSHIBA Contrasena de supervisor
Reading Windows Components.
then displayed a Message Box
"Failed to read Target (Windows 8) INI file."
How can I solve this?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Yes I followed that procedure.
My model is Satellite P775-112 PSBY3E and is listed as being compatible
After installing Windows 8, I noticed that the DVD drive was no longer accessible, as described in the following thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=68222&tstart=0
So I disabled the Windows Service "Toshiba Optical Disc Drive Service" (TODDSrv.exe 1.0.0.8), and the DVD drive is now visible. However Toshiba Video Player still does not work (says it has compatibility issues) and I can not view DVD videos.
I then ran the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant, which failed immediately with the error "Failed to read Target (Windows 8) INI file".
I found some posts on the forum with a similar error with the Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant (Failed to read Target (Windows 7) INI file. None of the posts has a clear description of what this error means but I've tried all of the suggestions.
Here's a list of what I've tried:
- Rebooted
- Upgraded BIOS to latest version (2.10)
- Run Upgrade Assistant as Administrator
- Run Upgrade Assistant with "Toshiba Optical DIsc Drive Service TODDSrv.exe 1.0.0.8 started or stopped.
My main problems at the moment are:
- Toshiba Optical DIsc Drive Service causes DVD drive to disappear
- Toshiba Video Player won't run
- No way to view DVDs
I'd be happy to install the drivers and applications individually if the Upgrade Assistant doesn't work - is there anywhere I can download them?

Can't get past setup assistant after installing leopard...

i am having trouble getting past the setup assistant after installing leopard on my other computer which is a 1.25 ghz G4 desktop. Everything seems to be going fine then the setup assistant comes up and i go through the exercise of filling it out and at the end it says click on done and then you can use the computer. unfortunately it goes right back into the setup assistant like i had never gone there before. it is in some kind of loop. would it be wise to reinstall leopard? if so, does it know that it was installed already and rewrite over the first install? or is there something else i may try. i tried resetting the PRAM and some other things recommended but nothing seems to work. any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance...

mr_magicman,
I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. It sounds like you went for the (default) Upgrade option.
Okay, how about trying this:
1. With the *OS X 10.5 Install Disk 1* still in the bay, Restart your computer. Without access to menus, you'll have to use the power switch to turn it off. +[Alternatively, if you do have access to menus, select the Restart command (in the Apple menu) — always the preferred method.]+
2. If you're using the power switch method, here, wait about 10 - 15 seconds then depress the power switch again for about 5 full seconds (or until you hear the computer come back to life). +[Alternatively, if you had selected the Restart command in Step 1, the computer will start up again on its own.]+ *Either way, as the computer starts up, press and keep pressing, the Mouse until the disk ejects.* By the way, if you're using a Mighty Mouse with a left and right option, press down on the left side only. Hopefully this will get you out of the loop caused by your Install DVD remaining in the drive.
Finally, to be fair to you, I must tell you that there's a more suitable Forum for your particular kind of problem, viz., *Installation and Setup* (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219) I recommend you check out the questions/answers in that Forum in case your question has already been asked and answered.
PS. If you do re-post your question in that Forum, don't forget to mention whether or not you internal hard disk has been backed up.
GOOD LUCK!

Upgrade from 8i to 9i using Database Upgrade Assistant

Hi
I installed 9i on a server that already has an 8i database. I am trying to use the upgrade assistant in 9i to convert the database to 9i. After selecting the 8i db, I get dialog saying 'Getting databse information. Please wait..' then error 'ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error'. I tried setting the 9i listener to a different port (1522) and restart listener, no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanx

Do you run Pre-Upgrade Assistant when migrate from 10.1 to 10.2

Hello,
I tried to upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows. Base on installation guide, you have to install 10.2 in a separate ORACLE_HOME, then run utlu102i.sql through SQL before run DBUA. Since I installed 10.2 without create start database because SID is same as 10.1. How to run pre-upgrade assistant? Or should I setup new SID for 10.2 and change it back after migrate database from 10.1 to 10.2.
Your assistance will be appreciated,

I'd suggest to check the "manual upgrade/migration" method described in upgrade doc.
As a summary:
utlu102.sql is just a step to verify some prereqs needed before going to 10.2
You'll need to shutdown your 10.1 DB. Copy your .ora files from 10.1.to 10.2; adjust them appropriately.
Set your Oracle_home to 10.2; keep same SID. Startup upgrade, then run catpatch.sql (if i remember correctly).
All these steps are well described in the manual.

11g Upgrade Assistant Error - "Cannot refresh - Currently locked"

I am running OBIEE 11g on Linux 32bit OS. It is a new OBIEE 11g install, I am just upgrading the 10g RPD and web catalog from our existing 10g server on this machine to serve as a separate 11g test environment. I have successfully upgraded the 10g RPD file using this 11g server's Upgrade Assistant utility. However, when I attempt to upgrade the 10g web catalog directory export on this machine I get the following error within the Upgrade Assistant:
[2011-03-09T13:38:25.565-05:00] [BIEE] [ERROR] [] [upgrade.BIEE] [tid: 13] [ecid: 0000IuRtnAxFw000jzwkno1DTwWL000004,0] javax.management.RuntimeMBeanException: Cannot refresh - Currently locked[[
For the web catalog "directory export" I am referencing, I just tarred up the existing 10g web catalog and FTPed it to this server then ran the Upgrade Assistant against that directory.
I don't have the RPD open and I am not logged into the system. Does anyone know what the issue is or if I can upgrade a directory web catalog export on this machine?
Any help would be appreciated.

Jan,
Thank you for the reply. I did install using the "Simple" method vs. using the "Enterprise" method. However, I really don't want to re-install and reconfigure this server again. I already had an issue with using Linux 64bit OS previously (IDM authentication did not work). Using Linux 32bit OS IDM authentication is working now.
I will try a few more things, if I can't find a resolution then I will attempt the "Enterprise" install method and see if my catalog will upgrade.
Thank you.

Will Upgrade Assistant work with MS SQL Server

We have ODI installed om MS SQL Server 2005. Current version of ODI is 10.1.3.5 and would like to upgrade to 11.1.1. My question is can we use upgrade assistant to create 2 instances of ODI that has old 10g Repository DB and 11g Repository DB or is Upgrade Asssitant work only when repositories are installed on Oracle 11g.
Thanks,
Giri

It's possible, but it's tough, you'll have to edit the ODI database to change the connection string to one that the new ODI likes, and the java driver to one Java likes.
For SQL Server 2005, the JAVA_DRIVER it wants is: weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
The connection string it will want will be like : jdbc:sqlserver://<host>:<port>;selectMethod=cursor;databaseName=<database_name>;
Hope that helps, let me know if you want more info.

SPAM Update needed for Upgrade Assistent

For updating a SAP System (IDES 4.7) I assume I need the Upgrade Assistant!? I installed the UA-Server and connected with a browser to the local Service (http://x.x.x.x:4239/ua/UaGUI.html). After a few steps in the phase "PREPARE", the assistand is running into the following error: "The SPAM Version 15 of your system is too low!!!". I downloaded the newest SPAM-Package and unpacked it. The resulting files are "CSR0120031469_0026199.ATT" and "CSR0120031469_0026199.PAT". I copied them to \usr\sap\trans\EPS\in but the error still appears...
Any hint how to get 'em working? Am I totally wrong with this solution?

Hi Thomas
I think for upgrading an IDES system you need to install it again. Anyway , this note 164244 says you can ask SAP for an upgrade if necessary.

Jose Luis Valverde

OID Configuration Assistant failure on 2000 Server

For some strange reason the OID cannot start up (Cannot connect to database error if I try to start it manually). I have no problems connecting to the DB using SQL plus and the tnsnames.ora from the infra home. Getting desperate...
Thankful for assistance,

So the OIDCA couldn't see that the DB was running?
Did you install OID on a different server than the
DB? I am having the "OID could not be started",
error and can't seem figure it out. No, the DB wasn't running at all.
There was something else fish about the server configuration. I tried doing another clean install on another machine and it worked fine so this is not a general thing with 2000 server. I am still trying to compare all network settings etc. that might have been different between the two machines.

CS5 extended upgrade doesn't install over CS5

Trying to install a purchased CS5 extended upgrade over an installed CS5: DVD loads, and says "CS5 already installed". I notice that the icon on
the disk doesn't call itself "extended" -- it is as though the disk, though labelled correctly on the box, doesn't actually contain the extended version.
I've tried the "chat" method of help from Adobe -- which is frustrating in many ways -- and they at least claimed that the serial number was correct. If I
continue the installation, it will, in about a minute, put in a few things, including an older version of ACR, but Photoshop itself is unchanged, and certainly
not the extended version.
Anyone who has done this successfully, did the icon on the installer call itself "CS5 extended"?
The "chat" helper tried to establish an "adobe connect" session, without success. I'm very afraid to uninstall my CS5, on which I
depend! -- because then the upgrade installer may say " no product to upgrade!" Short of another solution, I guess I am
out my 384 dollars.
Don't know what to do next!

Steve --
The chat, though it came up quickly enough, was frustrating in that
a. It was hard to make them understand the problem
b. Every time I went to do something they suggested, the chat was
lost and I had to start all over again (that's why it was "they").
Finally, I realized that I could tell them the case # so they could
get up to speed. But they continued to ask the same questions over
again. We never got to any possible solution.
c. The real issue is that I didn't understand that "extended" was the
same program, so I don't think my problem made sense to them.
I did (with some trepidation) deactivate, and the reactivation worked
fine. If I had downloaded the upgrade from Adobe, I think the situation
would have been clear, but because I bought a boxed DVD, I assumed that
it was a "different" program, as it was when I upgraded my wife's CS4 to
CS5.
Anyway, I'm all set now, and thanks again for your assistance and
suggestions.
