9.2.0.6 OUI cannot write to its own installation directory

I would like to install the 9.2.0.6 patchset on a freshly installed 9.2.0.4_linux_x86_64 (AMD). The system is RedHat EL AS 3. I have installed j2re1.4.2_07 (because the Java brought by Oracle does not even start the VM ...) and edited the ./install/oraparam.ini to use our own JRE.
runInstaller tells me that all system requirements are met. But - alas - OUI says that it cannot write into the directory that it created itself (tmp/OracleInstall...). The rights matrix of this directory is drwxr-xr-x oracle oinstall, even if I set umask to 0000. There are several GB free.
The last message is
: file or directory not found
What is going on here (or rather what isn't)? What file is OUI looking for?
Thanks in advance for kind replies

Ivan,
the rights for /tmp were already rwxrwxrwt. Even if I remove the sticky bit, the error remains. I have the strange feeling that this is not a rights problem. Do you have any idea what
: file or directory not found
is supposed to mean? What file is OUI looking for? Does OUI 10.1.0.3.0 check for temporary files of other OUI versions (e.g. OUI 2.2.0.18.0 bundeled with Oracle 9.2.0.4)?
I think I will start from scratch: remove and reinstall 9.2.0.4 and then try the patch installation again.

    This has nothing to do with CC or any of that. You have insufficient user privileges to write files locally on your computer or a technical issue gets in teh way. Since you have not provided any system info or otehr details, we cannot tell you more than that.

  • Why do we need write access to Java installation Directory

    We are Upgrading from Siebel Analytics 7.8 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
    As OBIEE needs Java 1.5 or higher as a pre-requisite we are planning to uninstall Java 1.4 and install latest version of Java 1.5.
    According to OBI Installation and Configuration Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf -> Page 39 "If you are installing using the Basic installation type, make the user or user group permissions
    writable for the user installing Oracle Business Intelligence, for all JDK 1.5.0 installation directories,
    subdirectories, and files". Can anybody let me know why we need write access to Java Installation Directory??
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    I had this same question and asked Oracle. Here's what I was told:
    Per Dev:
    "For OBI Presentation Services and OBI Publisher, jdk fonts files are copied into the JDK location because we do not bundle our own JDK. To ensure the install can do this you need to ensure that the Oracle BI installer has permissions to copy files to the specified JDK location.
    This means that if the same user who installer/untarred JDK is also installing Oracle BI, the install should work. In this case the the permissions of the JDK is probably 755.
    It will not work if a root user installs JDK and a normal user installs Oracle BI because the normal user does not have access to write to the JDK location or will not work if the JDK location is read-only, i.e. 444. In this case running chmod -R 777 will work."

  • Mid 2007 iMac SSD in optical bay - cannot write to last block of device

    Hi All,
    I've just replaced my optical drive in my 20" mid 2007 iMac (Dual core, 2.4 Ghz, 2 Gb RAM running Mavericks) with a solid state drive (Crucial MX100). The plan is to transfer my boot disk to this drive while keeping my 1 Tb HDD for media and such.
    I followed the ifixit guide and it all went smoothly, however when I try to partition or erase the new SSD using Disk Utility, it tells me "Operation failed - cannot write to last block of the device". After googling, I found some answers here that suggested the optical bay cable may be faulty, so I bought a replacement and swapped it in, but no such luck, same problem. I also saw some threads suggesting that the boot disk should be in the original hard drive spot, but since this isn't the boot disk (yet) this shouldn't be the issue.
    My computer recognizes the new SSD but won't allow me to partition it. Any suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks!

    3. The new disk is just bad.
    OK. If that's the case, I'll just get another disk.
    Lots of problems with that hybrid drives on Mac's on these forums, get another one that's 7,200 RPM and from Western Digital, not Seagate.
    With a 7,200 RPM you get more performance across the entire drive, not just what's cached in the small flash portion of the hybrid.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents#/
    1. Hybrid drives: I'm on number 8 in 6 different machines, no problems at all, what happens when you try?
    2. The OP is not using a Hybrid.
    3. Lot's of problems with WD drives not booting on these forums though.

  • Cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log

    Hi friends,
    My server Intelligence Agent (SIA) can not start because the database service "SQLAnywhereForBI" can't start also. I got the following error :
    "I . 08/09 20:35:06. A read failed with error code: (1392), Le fichier ou le répertoire est endommagé et illisible.
    E. 08/09 20:35:06. Fatal error:  cannot write to transaction log "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\sqlanywhere\database\BI4_Audit.log"

    inside the database log file.
    Please, can you help me

    I found the solution by following the advice given on the following forum:
    http://evtechnologies.com/transaction-logs-on-sybase-sql-anywhere-and-sap-​​businessobjects-bi-4-1
    In fact, I crushed the BI4_Audit.db and BI4_Audit.log files and I replaced with others that I got from another machine where I installed BO again and where the files are not corrupted . After I logged in to the CMS database by executing the command in the command line:
    dbisql -c "UID = DBA; PWD = mypassword; BI4 Server =; DBF = C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_CMS.db."
    Once connected, I start the command:
    alter database 'C: \ Program Files (x86) \ SAP BusinessObjects \ sqlanywhere \ database \ BI4_Audit.db' alter log off;
    The query runs successfully.
    And that's good, I can be connected to BO smoothly.
    Thank you again Eric

  • My first gen ipod mini does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It says "cannot write or read". Ist this the end?

    My first gen ipod mini (that I use in my car) does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It basically says "cannot write or read". Is this the "end of life" of that ipod?

    You mean you can't get to the Summary pane?
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • Cannot Write or Read to disk Error during iPhone 3g 3.1 sync

    Searched the forum with no luck. Just upgraded to 3.1 on my 3G and I cannot sync without it stopping with the error - Cannot write or read disk. It seems like its almost random on what file it picks to stop on - the file plays fine in iTunes 9. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Restore the Touch. There is no easy way to remove files from an iPod as it classes media on the iPod as "read-only" - There are software products that can be used to remove media from an iPod, but it is not an official method and you risk causing more damage.
    If you really need the files on the Touch then use Google to find a program to remove files, there are a few, but do so at your own risk!
    Kind regards,
    Peter.

  • Cannot Write to USB Drive after it wakes up

    I have a couple of external USB drives. Once one of them goes to sleep, I cannot write to it or eject it when it spins back up. When I try to copy and file to it the files seems to copy ok and when it's just about finished it errors out. This happens with the finder and with Pathfinder as well. If the drive sits and OS X spins it down I can't write to it or eject it when it spins back up. I just get the usual drive is busy, can't eject and any write attempt fails. I have to force disconnect it and reconnect it for it to function normally again. Tried a permission repair and that found no problems.
    Any ideas?

    Ok. More details. Apologies for the lack of them to start with.
    The Case is a Vantech USB/SATA HD Dock. It has it's own power (i.e. it is not powered by the bus). The Drive in it is a Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green. It has done this on all USB ports and with any computer it has been connected to. Mac computers any way, I have connected it to a windows box at work, but not long enough for the problem to manifest it self. Unfortunately I don't have a Mac I can hook it up to directly via SATA to see if it is the enclosure. I found another SATA enclosure here at work to try it with tonight. It's not the computer going to sleep that is causing the problem. It the OS spinning down the drive.
    I get this in the console log when I try and unmount the drive via the finder:
    20/07/09 11:17:00 AM /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[3426] StatusMonitor::volumesChangedCallBack returned -47

  • Cannot Write to USB Stick

    I can copy from USB sticks but cannot write to USB stick.
    I have tried various USB sticks to ensure I wasn't using an old stick or a damaged stick but nothing works.
    I have tried formatting the sticks differently, i.e. FAT32, Mac OS Extended etc but still doesn't work.
    The files I am trying to copy are only 200KB onto an empty, newly formatted 16GB stick.
    I have checked and permissions for the stick is Read/Write.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Does nobody read OP anymore? USB had the Arch installer on it, which involves some non-standard partitioning.
    @radoslav192
    Manually re-partition your thumb drive with fdisk, etc., then format the partition.
    Edit: had to remove the log from my eye.

  • Boot Camp - Windows can read Mac disk, but cannot write to it

    iMac OSX Snow Leopard. Windows XP.
    Can anyone help me resolve this. I have installed Windows XP using Boot Camp. The Windows folder is 31GB using FAT32.
    Windows can read from the Mac disk, but cannot write to it (I get an ACCESS DENIED) error.
    I have checked that permissions are set to Read/Write on the Mac, and have run permissions manager to check all is well. I have also tried deleting and reinstalling Windows, and creating a second User on the Mac.
    When I boot into OsX then I can write to the Mac hard disk from another (Windows) computer on a network.
    I think this did work initially, and it stopped working when I changed the computer name on the Mac (though this might be a red herring -- but it did definitely work OK yesterday).
    I'm a new convert to Macs, but am experienced with Windows machines, and I would appreciate any pointers.

    This is by design. The driver that allows access to the HFS partition is read-only. This prevents any possibility that Windows viruses could become an attack vector against the Mac OS. If you need to transfer files between Mac and Windows, you can always use an external hard disk or memory stick formatted as FAT.

    Yes- it is a Mac. I went through adobes system requirements and re- downloaded supportive software. The notice seems to happen near the end of the down load with the messages above. I'll look into your suggestion. Thank you- appreciated.
