BI Publisher Installation in Solaris 10 x86 failing.

Question

Hello all,
I am trying to install BI Publisher on Solaris 10. During the pre-requisites check, it fails for Checking OS recommended patches, 127111-02 and 137111-04. If I ignore and continue, then the Distributing Repository is failing throwing the error
Error executing nqudmlexec - return code: 1stdout:
stderr:
How can I solve the issue.
Please help its urgent.
Thank you
Cheers

Hello All,
Finally the installation got finished. The two things that held me for long are these
1) Operating System required Patches showing the wrong patch number. While you run the installer for the OBIEE 11g, during the pre-requisites check it failed for the fore said item. I had to run a lot for the answer.
The answer was pretty simple, the patch number shown by the installer was wrong (127111-02, 137111-04) These two patches are for the Solaris SPARC OS. Weirdly I was running the installation on a Intel Solaris VM. The respective patches for Intel Solaris 10 are 127112-02 and 137112-04, so moral of the story is ensure that these patches are in and ignore the failure message click NEXT
2) Now getting back to the error message posted here "Error executing nqudmlexec - return code: 1stdout:" This is because the LOCALE was not set to UTF-8
Steps to set the locale
i) ensure that UTF-8 is installed in you machine "localeadm -a en_US.UTF-8 -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product"
ii) can do a listing using locale -a to make sure that UTF-8 is in.
iii) make sure that the following packages are in "pkgadd SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWnamos"
iv) set the LANG variable "export LANG=UTF-8"
And I had a smooth run. :) The pain was over...
