Oracle not found in dbassist (8.1.5.02)

Hi all,
I am trying to create a database via the dbassist. But after I fill out all the required information and start creating the database, it started for a little bit and it came back with an error message "Oracel not found". Options can only be ignore or abort. In the instruction said it be have error message and ask to ignore. I did keep hitting ignore option for over 2 minutes, it just kept beeping me and did not go anywhere.. Can any body help ? Many thanks.

Use steps that I have outlined in Section 3.7 of my help pages:

Why does not work DBAssistant with Japanese

A very good day to everybody at OTN
I am Satoshi Ono ,a software engineer in Japan and this post
from Japan also.
I downloaded Oracle 8i for Linux but some problems have come up.
While installing, As I selected the product language to be
Japanese ,some error came up during the installing process.
The error was as follows-
--JNLS.Exception:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException Unable
To find any National Character Sets.
Please check your Oracle installation--
If anybody could help me in dealing and solving with the error
,I shall be glad. Huum....Does this anyway correspond to the
compatibility of the system to Japanese?

HELP! Can not install Oracle 8.1.5 w/ RedHat 6.1!

I can not get Oracle 8.1.5 to install onto Linux RedHat 6.1. The
Oracle installation script generates several errors. I have
tried several attempts, using different options, but they all
generate errors.
Please help. The Oracle Installation scripts appear to be very
buggy... or perhaps they are incompatible with the standard
RedHat 6.1 release. Either way, it is very frustrating.
I have documented one of my (failed) installation attempts below.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
I am installing Oracle onto a Dell Latitude CPi PC w/ 128MB RAM,
a 366MHz Pentium II, and RedHat 6.1 (using the standard Linux
2.2.12-2 kernel). RedHat was installed using the standard "Gnome
Workstation" configuration.
The Oralce CD is labeled:
"Oralce 8i Enterprise Edition
Release 8.1.5
for Linux
(c) Oracle Corporation 1999"
I got this CD about one week ago at Oracle OpenWorld '99 in Los
Angeles... it should be their "latest & greatest" version so far.
1. Pre-Installation and ./runInstall
I created an "oracle" Unix account w/ groups "oinstall" (the
primary group) and "dba" (a secondary group).
I created directories /u01 through /u04, belonging to oracle.
I setup .cshrc and sourced it, containing:
umask 022
setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
xhost +
setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
setenv ORACLE_HOME ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.5
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest
setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
setenv NLS_LANG US7ASCII
I downloaded jre116_v5 and installed to /usr/local/jre.
Finally, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstall
Problem: I got the error (from ./runInstall):
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
Workaround: Executed the following commands instead:
cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
./runIns.sh
3. runIns.sh and root.sh
I selected the following options (from ./runIns.sh):
Source: /mnt/cdrom/stage/products.jar
Destination: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0
Typical (585MB)
Installable Components: Oralce Intelligent Agent 8.1.5.0.0
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Directory for Database Files: /u02
Then (when instructed by ./runIns.sh), I attempted to execute
(from the
"root" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
./root.sh
Problem: I got the error:
"bash: ./root.sh: Permission denied"
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x root.sh
./root.sh
5. Configuration Tools
The Oracle Installer (./runIns.sh) attempted to execute:
A. Net8 Configuration Agent
B. Oracle Database Configuration Agent
Problem: The "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" failed with
the following error message:
"One or more tools have failed. It is recommended but not
required that these tools succeed for this installation.
You can now select these tools, read its details to examine
why they have failed, fix those problems, and retry them.
Or, you can click "Next" to continue."
When I selected the "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" for
more info, I got the following additional details (as the cause
of the error):
"A required command line argument is missing."
The log file
"/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log" recorded:
"Command which is being spawned is /usr/local/jre/bin/jre

Workaround: There is obviously nothing I can do to fix this
problem. It appears to be an internal bug in ./runIns.sh.
Therefore, I selected "Next" and executed "dbassist" directly.
6. dbassist
I executed:
dbassist
Problem: I got the following error:
"JNLS Execution:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle installation."
Workaround: Press "OK" and ignore the error.
7. dbassist (cont.)
I selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Copy existing database files from the CD
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Problem: I got the following error:
"CD-ROM drive not detected on this system.
Database not created."
(Note: I've been running the installation scripts from the
CDROM drive this entire time. "df" shows the CDROM drive
mounted on /mnt/cdrom. "ls /mnt/cdrom" works too.)
Workaround: Abort (which generated the additional error: "Unable
to create database. DBCA-00003: No CD-ROM drive detected.") and
run dbassist again, this time using different parameters.
8. dbassist, again
I executed "dbassist" again and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and iM demos
Global Database Name: cprtest2.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest2
Create database now
Problem: I got the following error:
"ORA-01012: not logged on"
Workaround: Try, try again.
9. dbassist, one last time
Executed "dbassist" once more and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and interMedia
demos
Global Database Name: cprtest3.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest3
Output creation script
Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/install
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
./sqlcprtest3.sh
Problem: I got the following output:
"Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production

Workaround: Beats me.
10. sqlplus
I attempted to execute sqlplus, but got the following error
message:
"/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied."
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus
sqlplus
I gave up for now... there were just too many things wrong with
this installation, starting with the very first command I was
supposed to execute (./runInstaller).
I can't fathom why Oracle's installation script has so many bugs.
Am I just doing something terribly wrong?
Please help.

I'm using enlightenment version 0.15.5-41, which is more recent
than the 0.15.5-37 version (containing the Oracle installer
patch) that you recommended. Unfortunately, it fails when using
this version.
I also tried installing Oracle using twm, with enlightenment
disabled. This didn't help either.
Furthermore, the errors that I'm encountering in the OUI are
not just toward the end of the installation. They happen from
the very beginning, right after I enter "./runInstall", and
continue every step of the way.

Hi there,
I have installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Redhat 6.1 (2.2.16 Kernel). When I execute dbassist for the first time, it works fine, but subsequent executions produce the following error:

Deborah,
I really don't think I installed Enterprise Manager Server. I have looked everywhere for the emca configuration assistant and it is just not there. I am running version 3 of oracle 8.1.7 enterprise edition, and I did not remember seeing enterprise manager server on the list of products that would be installed. I did remember seeing enterprise manager components. I am going to try and install again on a different machine and see if enterprise manager server is part of the install.

8i: delete db w/ dbassists leave files; should it?

Have Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 installed on RedHat 6.0.
Created database instance TEST (and tried to put the data files
in /db/oradata rather than ($ORACLE_BASE=/db/ora/)oradata [see
other post].
Tried using "dbassist" to delete the database. It proceeded
without complaint but left several files/directories for TEST.
I'm not sure if its a bug or a feature but here's what it left
behind:
all the files usally in "/db/ora/admin/test/" are still there.
just the directory "/db/oradata/test"; the data files are gone.
all the files/links usually in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs:
initTEST.ora link
lkTEST
orapwTEST
all the files usually in $ORACLE_HOME/install for "test".
I can see where the files in $ORACLE_HOME/install might be
retained (IF you can use them to recreate the database) but I
think the rest are all "missed" and need to be removed by hand
(to avoid confusion and problems if/when "test" recreated).
Comments appreciated.
Frustrated but tenacious

Oracle not available on redhat linux 7.0

Hello frineds ,
I successfully install oracle 9iAPS on RedHat Linux 7.0 , My purpose to run oracle 8.1.7
and it was done successfully , But getting a problem while creating database
1. :- dbassist and copy database from cdrom but at the end approximately 80 % to 82%
it give me error oracle not available or end-of-file on communication channel
2:- SVRMGRL while connection as internal/oracle and tried to create database it give me error like
ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE

Hi
At windows You must create a service to hadle oracle threads. On linux this is not working in same way, You do not need a "service" to bind thread or process to it.
simple set environment variables
and start sqlpus session with create database command, and so on.
Maybe You should read oracle admin guide for linux.

Can not initialize the database

I have some problem with oracle 8.1.7.
I run along the instruction with the "Installation Guide", set up the oracle user, oinstall and dba group, and its relations. Also, I set up the variable as the Installation Guide says.
After preparation, I run the runInstaller, choose the "Custom", OUI copies all files to my hard disk, when Net8 configuration was complete. It's go for the process of "dbassist". In the DB configuration process, I always receive "ORACLE not available", "end-of-file on communication channel", "not logon" and "not connected to ORACLE", etc. Then, I choose "Ignore", dbassist told me "Complete", but when I run "sqlplus" or "svrmgrl", I cannot connect to the ORACLE by using internal/oracle.
I have 320MB RAM, Redhat Linux 7 with a root partition 5GB, swap partition 1.5GB. Celeron 366 overclock 458. NE2k network adapter
I have tried over 10 times, and I have never install the Oracle product successful.

I think the problem that you are facing is as simililar as what I am too. It is mainly due to the reason of Orcale 8.1.6 not being able to run on RedHat's glibc2.2. You have to get the glibc2.1 to solve your problem I can't comment much on this as I have not got mine solved yet as well. I am still trying

but why do i have the MTS_DISPATCHERS paramenter if i set dedicated server mode? i guess i don't need MultiThreading...
anyway, are the semmsl, semmni, semmns parameters correctly configured? i rememeber i had a similar error and these parameters were to set correctly to make it work, but this time i can't find out the point!!!
please, it's very urgent...
thankx a lot!

i'm installing a new instance, so i don't need neither to set ORACLE_SID, nor to connect to db. i mean... i give my oracle sid in the GUI of the dbassist.
then it's supposed to set it and connect to the instance by its own. the point is that when it tryes the connect internal, it fails.
i bet the trouble is in the /etc/system parameters, but i don't know exactly where....

Hello all!
I need urgent help!!
I'm trying to start Oracle 8.1.6 i on Solaris 8. But there are lot of error:

I am pretty sure this has to do with the SGA..
what you may have to do is adjust you

Oracle 8i is not installing

Dear Sir,
Oracle 8i is not installing in my system. The setup comes within a fraction of seconds without raising any error . I have PIV 1.5 GHZ with 128 MB RAM. I tried with Win NT,Win 2000,
Win 2000 Advanced Server, Win XP but i faced the same problem in all the versions. There is also problem with JRE and java.

There are problems with Pentium IV
Known Software Issue(s)
CPUID detection for Intel. Pentium. 4 processor system:
Intel has identified that applications which use the Symantec Just in Time Compiler library file ("symcjit.dll" for Microsoft Windows* operating system and "symc_jlt.nlm" for Novell Netware* 5.1) may not run properly on Pentium. 4 processor systems because the library does not properly identify the processor. The failure typically is that the affected application such as Oracle 8i, simply terminates. Under Microsoft Windows*, the properties of the DLL are: "Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK 1.2 Copyright (C) 1996-99 Symantec Corporation Dynamic Link Library file". DLLs older than this will also not work. To confirm the version you are using, select the DLL, right click on the selected DLL and select Properties, and then the Version tab. Intel encourages all Software developers to do the following immediately:
Check if your application(s) uses the Symantec Just in Time Library file
Request an updated library file from your provider
Test your application with the new library file on Pentium. 4 processor system
Ensure you have plans in place to provide application updates and address customer concerns

Workaround
~~~~~~~~~~
Not only will OUI be affected by this bug, most of the post-install
configuration tools will also be affected. Running these tools with "-nojit"
specified will avoid the hang, but it is not simple to specify "-nojit" for
some of the products.
The following workaround works for the Windows operating system:
a. Copy only the install directory from the CD to the hard disk ,say, e:\temp.
b. Open oraparam.ini and make the following modifications (Assuming CD
drive is f:)
* Change the "SOURCE=" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e., SOURCE=f:\stage\products.jar)
* Change the "JRE_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
JRE_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expanded)
* Change the "OUI_LOCATION" line to use the full path to the CD instead of a
relative path. (i.e.,
OUI_LOCATION=f:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Expanded
* Change the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to add "-nojit" as the first argument.
(i.e., JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m)
^^^^^^
* Other entries should remain the same
c. Launch setup.exe from the temporary location on your hard drive (i.e.
e:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe). This will use the modified
oraparam.ini and pick up the information from the CD since the absolute
locations are specified.
Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the
install. This way, the Database Configuration Assistant will not be launched
during installation.
The Net8 Configuration Assistant will still be launched, and there is no way
to suppress it. You will need to kill the Net8 Configuration Assistant if it
hangs due to the bug. The installation still will have been successful, and
you can run the DBCA and NetCA after installation.
To kill NetCA if it hangs during installation:
In the "Configuration Tools" window, highlight the "Net8 Configuration
Assistant" and click "Stop". If that does not work, look for the most recent
JRE process using the Task Manager, and kill it manually. NOTE: the OUI
itself will also have a jre process. Be sure to kill the one with the most
recent date, which should be the jre process being used for Net8CA, not the
one for OUI itself.
After killing the configuration tools and continuing through the installation
to the "End of Installation" screen, you should modify the configuration tools
to use "-nojit", then call the appropriate tools from the Start Menu.
Once installation is complete, each of the following files in the ORACLE_HOME
needs to be modified:
assistants\dbca\dbassist.cl
assistants\dbma\dbmig.cl
assistants\ifa\ifa.cl
bin\elogin.cl
bin\owm.cl
ldap\oidamdin\oidadmin.cl
network\tools\netasst.cl
network\tools\netca.cl
owm\install\instelogin.cl
owm\install\instowm.cl
Edit the contents of the above files to add "-nojit" as shown below:
Command=("C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\BIN\JREW" -nojit -classpath ....
this is the only thing you need to add --> ^^^^^^
Then, launch the necessary tools, like Net8CA and DBCA from the Start Menu.
Patches
~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a patched installer available to deal with this
problem, the workaround listed above must be used.

DbAssistant Problems & Java Problems in General

Like many people in this situation, I have struggled with
installing 8.1.5. The biggest problem was that dbAssist
appeared to not install correctly (it actually installed, but
could not launch). The error is a java class exception "Could
not find java.lang.Thread."
The problem lies in that Oracle is not loading the JVM using
environment variables PATH and CLASSPATH (which is the JAVA
way). Instead they have hard-coded paths to specific classes.
Oracle products are looking for java.lang.Thread in the rt.jar
file which may or may not exist (depending on whether you have
the JDK or the JRE). Instead you may have classes.zip which
also has the java.lang.Thread class.
The fix that worked for me is simply to link rt.jar to
classes.zip.
$ cd /usr/local/jre/lib
$ ln -s classes.zip rt.jar
So far this seems to work well (in light of the total install
experience).
null

That's because you are using the JDK (which uses classes.zip),
instead of the JRE (which uses rt.jar) as mentioned in the docs.

Should dbassist create an entry in my tnsnames.ora file?

I just created an instance on Solaris with dbassist and the sample minimal.rsp response file (8.1.7). I was surprised to note that no entry was created in the tnsnames.ora file as I would expect (it does create an entry on Windows platforms). Is this typical behavior? I did not see any option in the response file to do this. Another thing I notice was that it created an entry in the oratab file with the auto start flag set to n. Is there a way to make dbassist set that flag to y during install or am I going to have to sed it afterwards?
Thanks,
John

1. Do I have to use the external IP address in the LISTENER.ora
file if I want clients external
to the firewall to connect to my database?No, you should simple use the internal address - there's no need
to use the external address. The packets that reach the server
do not contain the external address by the time they get to the
server. The firewall performs NAT on the external address
translating it to the internal address on the way in and
translating the internal address to the external address on the
way out.
2. If I change the entries in the LISTENER.ora file from
<production> to <172.168.0.101>, then
clients cannot connect to the database. Is this a normal
thing? I remember that I could use
internal IP addresses in ORACLE7 and 8 in the LISTENER.ORA
file.There must be something wrong with your DNS. If you run the
command "ping production" what address do you get? The external
address? If you attempt to ping 172.168.0.101 from a client that
can not connect, what do you get? What if you run the
command "tracert production"? What path do the packets take to
the server.
There sounds like there is some network topology issues in that
the clients can't get directly to the internal address but are
instead going through the firewall to get to the database. I
would suggest using a sniffer on the database (with the
appropriate authorization) to see what's going on and get a
network admin involved.
