9iAS Installation Question

Hi,
I have successfully installed 9iDB on a Linux server and am now
attemting to install 9iAS on a different Linux server (both Red
Hat 7.1).
I am confused by the preinstallation section of the 9iAS
Installation guide.
Part way through the documentation it starts to talk about
the 'origin database' without ever mentioning where this
database has sprung from. Is this a database I need to create on
my 9i database server? If so how do I create it?
The documentation seems to imply that the database must already
exist as it's telling me I need to edit the initSID.ora file.
There is also some implication that this 'origin database' needs
to be 8i. If it does, should I install 8i on the database server
or on the AS server?
I'd really prefer to use the 9i database if possible. Not least
because I've got that on CD and would need to download 8i over
ISDN!!
I'm sure I'll have other questions as I get further into this,
but answers to the above will keep me quiet for a while!
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Tom Steele.

The infrastructure install is available on the 9.0.2.0.1 CDs. Did you try and install 9.0.3 of 9iAS? 9.0.3 is only available for the midtier (application tier) install.

Oracle 9iAS installation question-oci.dll error

Hi all
I have a question about 9iAS installation. Can we install 9iAS in NT??. I downloaded from the site, installation for NT. While installing I get error like "could not write oci.dll error"..I'm installing the portal and wireless type and I have my Oracle9i database installed on the same machine. Can anybody suggest how to rectify this error.
Thanks a lot

Are you trying to install in the same Oracle Home directory as the database? You should install in a different OH. Furthermore, 9iAS itself also installs in 2 OH's. You will end up with 3 OH's.
It is not a good idea to install the database and 9iAS on the same server, unless you have a really big one.

Error starting the 9iAS installer on Windows 2000 on P4 laptop

I am having problem running 9iAS Installer on my P4 Laptop.
any solution?

Hi
I have successfully installed Oracle products in P4 hardware configuration and there is a know bug in Oracle & P4. Follow these steps below and I am sure that you will be successful in installing Oracle on P4.
Background:
When installing and configuring Oracle 8i to support a Syllabus Plus timetabling application on a Pentium 4 Server with Windows 2000 Advance Server, the following issues were encountered:
1.     The Oracle 8i Universal Installer (OUI) aborts without notice
2.     When installed using either the Oracle 9i OUI or the patched 8i OUI downloaded from Oracle Corporation, errors occurred during installation and java based configuration tools such as the Database Configuration Assistant and the Network Configuration Assistant would not run.
Problem Causes
Oracle Corporation have documented the following known issues:
1.     The OUI 8.1.x fails to recognize the P4 processor and aborts without notice.
2.     The OUI 8.1.x or above has problems on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symantec JIT. Windows 2000 (all versions) and Netware platforms are affected by this.
Work Around
The following work around has been used successfully at the Northern Territory University to overcome these problems.
     1.     Install Oracle 9i patched installer available from Oracle Technology Network website on the machine running on Pentium 4 Processor.
     2.     After installing Oracle Universal Installer, open file oraparam.ini and make the following modifications: (Assuming CD-ROM Drive is d: and you are installing Oracle from CD-ROM)
     a.     Change the Source= line to use the full path to the CD instead of relative path. (i.e. Source=d:\stage\products.jar)
     b.     Change the JRE_Location line to use the full path to the CD instead of relative path. (i.e. JRE_Location=d:\stage\components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\datafiles\expanded)
     c.     Change the OUI_Location line to use the full path to the C drive (where the installer is installed) instead of relative path. (i.e. JRE_Location=c:\stage\components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\datafiles\expanded)
     d.     Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS line to add -nojit as the first argument. (i.e. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit ms16m ms32m) Other entries should remain same.
     3.     Launch OUI and this will use the modified oraparam.ini file and pick up the information from the CD-ROM. (since the absolute locations are specified)
     4.     Choose the custom install and choose not to create the database during the install. This way, the DBCA will not be launched during installation.
5.     The Net8 Configuration assistant will still be launched and there is no way to suppress it. If you need to kill it due to installer hanging then in the configuration tools window highlight the Net8 Configuration Assistant and click Stop. If this does not work then look for the most recent JRE process using task manager and kill it manually. Note: The OUI itself will also have a jre process. Make sure to kill the only the most recent process.
6.     After killing the configuration tool, continue through the installation to the End of Installation screen. We can modify the configuration tool to use this option nojit.
     7.     Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the ORACLE_HOME needs to be modified:
Each file will contain a command similar to the one following, which should be modified to include the option -nojit.
Eg: Command=(c:\program files\oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin\jrew nojit classpath.
     a.     assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
     b.     assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
     c.     assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
     d.     bin\owm.cl
     e.     ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
     f.     network\tools\netasst.cl
     g.     network\tools\netca.cl
     h.     owm\install\instelogin.cl
     i.     owm\install\instowm.cl
This (-nojit) is the only modification required to enable the configuration tools. After these changes the configuration tools like Net8CA and DBCA can be launched from the start menu.
Note: if your Oracle server is already installed and running but configuration tools are not running then just edit these files mentioned above (from a to i) and then launched configuration tools, they all will work.
Thank you
Amit

regards, Matt.

Jay,
We have now installed the Intermedia text option, but still get errors on the installation. (Portal version 3.0.8.9.8 NT).
After installation, we still get errors. These are generally "Synonym already exists" errors, even though we are starting with a blank database each time. The exact errors are.
"cannot create synonym wwctx_api_vpd for portal30_sso.wwctx_api_vpd name already used by an existing object"
"synonym owa_vpd_ctx, name already used by existing object"
We suspect these errors are causing the error message wwc-00000 to appear when we attempt to access the Login Server Administration page and create users.
Any ideas?
Regards, Matt.

Photoshop Elements 10 Installation Question

How can I tell if my software installed properly? The software came with three discs, and it only installed the first disc. I am new to Photoshop, and do not know if my software installed properly? Can anyone help?

Gautham K,
Thank you for your quick replies. I have checked,and my OS is indeed 64 bit. I have been using the 32 bit version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, since I installed it last evening. I have a few quick questions;
Will I loose any functionality if I stay with the 32 bit version versus un-installing and installing the 64 bit version from disc 2?
If I decide to un-install, and re-install from disc 2, will there be any software registration issues (as I have already registered the software)?
Thanks again for all of your help.
Jim

Installation Questions Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition

We are looking to install Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition and have the following installation questions:
When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?

When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
The typical installation scenario is to have 3 tiers - application (WAS), application (Documaker), and data. WAS tiers host web applications (Dashboard, Administrator, Interactive) as well as providing database connection pools and JMS queues for messaging - it is expected that the WAS environment is a clustered environment and that the applications are deployed to the cluster members, which can be physical or virtual. For the Documaker application server, these can be physical or virtual as well. It's recommended to install Documaker on single-purposes environments, however there's nothing to prevent you from doing otherwise. The Documaker applications are self-contained JVMs and can be tuned accordingly.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
The installation process (currently) writes the scripts according to responses provided during the installation process. The scripts can be reviewed/modified prior to execution.
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?
The official supported version of WAS is 7.0.0.27, however WAS 8.5 may be suitable (I believe there might be a fix pack requirement there - would recommend you submit a question to Oracle Support for verification).

9iAS installation

Hi,
I have a problem when I install 9i Database and 9iAS. I installed 9i Database 9.0.1 successfully on Windows/2000 Pro with SP1. Then I changed shared_pool_size to 125829120 and something needed for 9iAS. I used OUI v2.01 (from 9i Database) to install 9iAS 1.0.2.2. It's fine until configure Portal. It prompt error message of "The SHARED_POOL_SIZE is 32K less then demeand". BUT, the origin databse's initialization value for this parameter is already been changed to 125829120. I try to copy admin folder from 9i Database_Home to 9iAS Home to let 9iAS installer can find the init.ora.
Can some one help me to figure out what happen to it?
Thanks in advance!
Alex Lu

you must have installed the Standard Edition, a midtier databsse
will be installed, mainly as a db cache. However, this databse
is not intented to be used as the backend databse and the using
of this as a backend databse is not supported by oracle.

Apache or Oracle installation questions

Which discussion group is best for asking Apache or Oracle 8.1.7 installation questions?

FRED
Apache is best addressed on the ias 9i forum.

Changing DNS after 9iAS installation

Could anyone share with me how to change the DNS name (which starts with www) that shows the Oracle HTTP Server Components page when a browser is invoked to other desired web page (in which the DNS does not start at www)after the 9iAS installation.
Thank you.

I am having difficulty understanding your sentence ... is it possible to give an example?
There is a ServerName directive in httpd.conf that you could change ... but without understanding the problem I don't want to recommend it.

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....

Setmgr.dll error during 9iAS installation

Hi all
I'm getting setmgr.dll could not move from xx location to yy location error during 9iAS installation. Has anyone faced the same problem?.
I just tried doing the Core Edition installation.
Any suggestion is appreciated..
Thanks

I am encountering similar errors but much earlier and in a much higher number.
For me the problem starts at 62% completion of the linking process with
Error in invoking target install of makefile /ora/product/9.0.1/plsql/lib/ins_plsql.mk
and it continues
Error in invoking target install of makefile /ora/product/9.0.1/plsql/lib/ins_plsql.mk
Error in invoking target relink of makefile /ora/product/9.0.1/precomp/lib/ins_precomp.mk
etc.
As ins_?????.mk in fact is a makefile I am now trying to
cp ins_?????.mk makefile
and then type
make
Then something happens (watch the processes) that looks very much as if it links
and builds the libraries. Next I click on [Ignore].
But I am not sure yet whether this helps. Right now I am still in the process of
installing oracle.
Can anybody state on this?
Ciao, Toni

Oracle 9iAS Installation Issues, Win 2000

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to Install 9IAS on a WIN2000 PE.
I already have Oracle NT Personal Edition (download nt817personal), up and running.
My Question is do I need to use Oracle nt817ee (Enterprise Edition)
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

I agree with your 5 P's, but Oracle is killing themselves by not improving the installation issues. Oracle is in a fight to the death with Microsoft, and there are a lot of people who give up on Oracle products because the learning curve is too steep just to be able to login as Scott. I have a lot of experience with Windows and Oracle, and have installed the RDBMS on probably 50 separate machines in the last several years, yet I still cringe when I double click setup.exe since I never know if universal installer is going to abort. I'm not a Unix or Linux guru, and I tried and tried to get Oracle RDBMS 8i to install on several flavors of Red Hat, but I gave up. DB2 and Interbase both installed without the hassles. Take a look at the Linux forum on Technet, and look at the effort that some people are doing to try to get it to work. It should not be this hard. I would like to use Linux/Oracle on some of our servers, but frankly it is too hard currently. You shouldn't need a metal link account to install software on a clean install of Windows, or be a guru at writing device drivers for Linux to install Oracle on that platform.

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.
