9iAS installation problems w/ db cache and Portal

I am still trying for a succesful installation of the 9ias software. I have followed all of the suggestions that have been posted and I am now getting TNS cannot resolve service name during the database cache part of the install. I checked services and it seems that this install didn't set up a TNSListener service for the 9iSuites home? I set the oracle_sid = icache as it instructs in the appendix, set the o7_dictionary_accessibility = true, and renamed the spfile to a .txt file so Oracle wouldn't find it. Subsequent to the database cache errors, the Portal install can't find the database either. I'm frustrated because I had the server up and running succesfully with an 8.1.7 db and I'm trying to switch to 9iDB. Any help would be greatly appreciated! My boss is getting a little impatient.
Thanks.

Mark,
I was succesful on my 4th try. This is what I did differently and I'm not sure what triggered success.(a preface: database cache was not succesful but portal was). After install of db I followed these suggestions before install of 9ias(plus others offered by Tao Fan in a previous post:
in the init.ora file:
set o7_dictionary_accessibility=true(this is an o, not 0)
comment out the 'dispatchers' line.
rename the spfile in the <oracleHome>\database directory(i changed mine to xspfile.txt). Make sure you restart the db after any changes to the init.ora file. Set all oracle services to manual and disable the http server. Stop all services.
Start your install. Mine hung at 100% complete with a command window open. Before I closed the command window I started the database service but not the listener. The install proceeded to fail during the db cache and portal install. I exited out of the install, started the dbTNSlistener, and any iSuitesagent services(not sure if this helped but I'm happy now!)Then, I restarted the machine. Then start/programs/iSuites/portalConfigAssistant and it worked.
If none of this makes sense I can email you the documentation I kept while installing.

  • 9iAS installation problem--not the same user

    I had once interrupted my 9iAS installation, when I start installation again, OUI reports lack of query component. I tried to install it in a new oracle home path, aborted the installation, and copy the inventory folder to the original oracle home path. Then I install oracle in the original oracle home again, OUI gives error message of "All oracle9iAS in one host must be installed by the same user". How can I bypass this message and install 9iAS?

    I just had that too. I deleted all Oracle installed directories (app server install directory and Program Files\Oracle) then deleted the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and that problem goes away....

  • Problem with Preview Cache and LR5 keeps shutting down

    I keep trying to open LR5 and it gives me an error message that says it encountered a problem with the preview cache and needs to shut down, and it will attempt to fix the problem next time I open LR 5.  It keeps happening and won't allow me to open LR5 at all.  What should I do?

    Delete .lrdata folder (the whole thing) - it's in with your catalog.
    Do NOT delete your catalog (.lrcat file) or anything else.
    If you have 2 .lrdata folders, delete the one that does NOT have "Smart Previews" in the name.

  • Software Installation Problems with Media Source and Nomad Explo

    Hello Creative Users,
    recently I had to reinstall my operating system on the PC. I have an IBM Thinkpad R30 with a Sitecom USB2.0 pccard. I am running WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates.
    I have a Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra with Firmware .20.08 and an update harddri've of 80GB.
    As long as I was running the software on my previous installation everything worked fine.
    I installed the driver .26.02. This recognized the Jukebox. Musicmatch is able to communicate to the Jukebox and recognizes all files on it.
    When I installed Nomad Explorer I got an error ctregserv failed because ctin...dll is not found.
    When I tried to install Media Source from the original disk it showed an error after 30% Media Source not found. Install Media Source before continuing.
    This is what I received now with all verisons of Media Source and Noamd Explorer incl. .30.0.
    Can someone help me as synchronizing with Musicmatch is a pain.
    Thanks
    Rolf

    Hi everyone,
    as I saw many questions regarding installation problems with Mediasource or Nomad Explorer
    in this forum I will answer my own question right here. I was pointed to the answer by a friend with a similar problem on some other software.
    When trying to install the Creative software under WinXP SP2 I happens that the registration does not work. the reason are missing write attributes to the keys for
    Creative software. To correct that go to: Start, Run and enter regedit. Hit ok and you are in the registration editor.
    Find the Creative location unde HKEYS_SOFTWARE. Click right mouse button and choose
    properties.
    Check full access for your user as well the system user. click on advanced and mark both all the users you want to install from. Check the lower box below the user window sayin something about roghts being propagetd to lower folders etc. Cklick conform and ok, click confirm on previous screen and close regedit.
    Now you should be ok and able to install.
    Regards
    Rolf

    PLATFORM: HP-UX 11i (Server)
    -------- Windows XP, NT (Client)
    INSTALLATION:
    1. On a HP box, using oracle installer, installed Oracle 9.0.2 Infrastruture successfully. Installation & configuration went with no errors.Used JDK 1.3.1 build (1.3.1.02) for installation.
    2. On the same HP box, using oracle installer, installed Oracle 9.0.2 Business Intelligence (Forms & Discoverer) successfully. Used JDK 1.3.1 (build 1.3.1.02) for installation.
    3. Loaded Jinitiator 1.3.1.8 on the client platform
    (Windows XP).
    PROBLEM:
    While trying to access

    "Downloading http://hpbox:7778/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar to JAR cache". The browser keeps showing "Loading Java Applet". When i look at the Cache location, i see the file f90all_jinit.jar-4cf20c5f-178c08b8(zipped). The size of this file stays the same even though browser keeps spinning. Not sure what is going on. I've verified that the Forms servers is still running on the HP box.
    Tried Jinitator 1.3.1.6, 1.3.1.8, 1.3.1.9 and 1.3.1.13. We've also tried Windows XP (IE6) as well as Windows NT (IE5). Same result on all the platforms.

  • Oracle 8.1.7/9iAS installation problem on IBM AIX 5.1 - loadext fails

    Dear colleagues,
    tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 and then Oracle 9iAS over AIX 5.1 on IBM eServer p-series. The installation fails in the very beginning - loadext for post-wait Kernel Extension (/etc/pw-syscall) fails with 'exec format error'. Documentation states 'AIX 4.3.3 or later required', no clear indication for AIX5, though. Any ideas or suggestions?
    I understand, it is possible to roll back to AIX 4.3.3, although machine came with 5.1 pre-installed.
    Alexei

    I had the same problem and finally used the loadext program from the 64-bit cpio-archive (Disk1). Just replace the file and startover again.
    It worked and still works!
    Hope this helps.

  • Solaris 10 installation problems through IP-KVM and Realtek NIC drivers

    I'm on an IP-KVM connection to the server, the installation failed with the message:
    ERROR: Could not create the product file
    ERROR: Could not install all packages. Product installation failed
    mkdir: "/a/var/sadm/launcher": I/O error
    Could not install all packages. Product installation failed
    I tried a full install, I'm going to remove some of the unnecessary packages from the install list and try again. This media has been successfully used to install before so I'm hoping that would work. If anyone has any info though regarding the failure, please advice.
    One of the problems is that the IP-KVM doesn't allow me to power the server off and on. When the install fails in the desktop console mode like this, is there a way to send a command to reboot the server? Sending ctrl-alt-del through the kvm client doesn't do anything. In case this happens again I'd like to be able to reboot myself.
    I'm retrying the install in the console desktop mode so if it fails again I can probably open up a terminal window and issue the reboot command.
    Also, the install is not recognizing the Realtek nic. It's an onboard controller in an Intel motherboard. Has anyone had any luck/tips on getting the drivers from www.realtek.co.tw to work? I haven't gotten to that stage yet but any advice would be appreciated for when I do.

  • Various Installation Problems with Portege R100 and Windows XP

    Hello,
    i recently purchased a used Portege R100. It came without OS and i wanted to install XP SP2.
    I know that restores only work with suited PCMCIA drives, but the HDD is formatted, so there is no recovery possible i guess.
    Here are my problems:
    - with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD-Drive the Windows Setup CD is recognized and it starts loading XP drivers until it wants to start Copying the installiation files --> then I get the Windows Bluescreen with the 00x7 error (virus or driver)
    - the same happens with my old W2k Pro installation disk.
    - With the even older W98SE strange things occur too: The installation seems to work properly, but when it comes to boot with W98SE for the first time the systems hangs up with pixelgarbage.
    - Making the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot did not work either.
    - I also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! That worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copying the Windows I386 folder to my hdd with volkov commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So i had hav the files on my disk but after running winnt in the i386 folder, the system hangs after a while, when it starts to copy files to a temporary folder.
    So i nearly tried everything i know. right now i am downloading knoppix to try that.
    I have run Memtest86 and the Diskmanager 9 to test RAM and HDD, both finished withut errors, so the main parts involed in the setup process seem to work. May it be that my IDE controller is broken?
    I have no idea, WHY windows won't install!
    Help is warmly welcome!!
    Thanks,
    Christian
    Does

    Hello
    i fixed the problem:
    The method of installing the i386 files to the DOS Disk and running winnt works. I was to impatient. Windows setup starts copying the files to a temporary folder. Nromally you see the info bottom right, waht files are copied at the moment. This is a good indicator that the system is still working.
    My setup does not show waht files are copied to the temporary folder. But it still works. HDD is spinning all the time. Due to the "non-Sound" of the R100 i was sure it hung up. But it simly did not. After lets say 20 minutes, the setup process went on as usual....
    Now i have XP in the R100 and all teh drivers installed. What a wonderfull notebook, really!
    Thanks for the hints anyway...

  • Problem whith redirect = "true" and portal

    Hi!
    I was trying to use a @jpf:forward with redirect="true" in a pageflow of my portal,      
    nevertheless, when it makes redirect, it opens outside the Portal, in a new page, I I need that I make everything within he himself Portal. How I can do this? thanks.
    [email protected]

    I think the redirect attribute only works when used in non portal pageflows. you will have to generate the (portal friendly) URL's yourself and redirect using the response object.
    I believe you can use the url templates defined in url-template-config and a BEA class called GenericURL i think but ive never tried it
