Have anyone upgraded Red Hat Linux AS from 4.4 to 4.6 of EBS11510.2(CU2)?

Hi,
Have anyone upgraded Red Hat Linux AS from 4.4 to 4.6 of EBS11510.2(CU2)?
Please advice any issue/concerned etc?
Thanks,

You need to relink all binaries after an OS Upgrade to ensure that everything is working as expected.
- Take a backup of the application/database
- Upgrade the OS
- Relink all binaries
- Start up the application/database
- Take another backup once you confirm that everything works properly

Oracle 8i Internet for Red Hat Linux

Hi all,
Can any one help me on this. I have setting up Red Hat Linux 6.2 and JRE 1.1.6v5-glibc also installed on /usr/local/jre directory. But when I try to run "runInstaller" from the oracle cdrom. I have the following error:
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre Please wait ...
Error in Create OUIProcess(): -1
:Bad address
Any one can tell me what is the problem.
Thank you

Let me try again. I was to fast with the enter key. There is a known bug with the installer. The work around is to use the runInstall.sh that is in the subdirectory /install/linux. If you have your environment variables setup correctly this should work, also you need a minimum of 128 meg of ram on the machine.
Hope this helps.

Unable to start oracle app server 10g through opmnctl file Red Hat linux

Hi gurus,
I have a VM (Red Hat Linux based). I am not able to start my application server 10g through opmnctl file (exists in opmn/bin folder).
I open that folder opmn/bin through terminal and write the following command
opmnctl startall
nothing is happening... is there any way to start the server through GUI?
can you please guide me.
Thanks

process has been started now..Please post the result of$ $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl status
after that when I run the it from browser nothing is comming..Don't you get any error ?
for app server admin i wrote http://pcname:port/
This should work. Is port the correct one ? Check out $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini. Did you try IP address, instead of pcname ? Do you have any active firewall on your linux server ?
for simple form run http://pcname:port/frmservlet/
This one should be http://pcname:port/forms/frmservlet

Oracle Upgrade 8.1.7.4 to 10g in Red hat linux

Dear All,
We are planning to upgrade our oracle database from 8i to 10g along with the Redhat linux upgrade from 2.4.9-e 27 ent to Red Hat Linux 5. In my study and also from Installation guides and oracle upgrade guides I made sure that its possible to upgrade our database from 8.1.7.4.
So I have planned the below options to do the same and not sure about the possibilities. If anyone have thoughts and idea on the same please suggest me.
We dont have plan to migrate the development hardware and the sap version is 4.7E
Option 1: Upgrade the Linux to 5 and then upgrading the database to 10g usign upgrade assistant tool
Option 2: Export the database using sapinst tool and then crashing the server. Installing linux5 and importing the database using sapinst tool.(I am aware this is not a good idea since there is no migration in hardware but it will be helpful in production since we are migrating the production system).
Option 3: Performing DBUA assistant in development and sapinst method in production.(helpful in disaster recovery)
Could you please suggest on the same?
My query is that.
If i am performing oracle export from 8.1.7.4 and if i am import the same in oracle 10g using the sapinst tool. Will this work? or it will create a problem in table level. I am looking for answers for this Question. Kindly explain me on this.
Regards
Vijay

Red Hat Linux Upgrade - 2.4 to 4

Hello all,
In our environment SAP is running with 4.7E with oracle database and we are planning to do a hardware migration and Red Hat linux upgrade from 2.4 to 4
So the plan is such a way like that
1. Taking backup from the live production system.
2. Installing 4 red hat linux in the target machine and installing SAP as well.
3. Restore the database and bringing up the system.
We are not following the method of Export / Import due to consideration of downtime.
I have been working in windows platform and have performed migrations and database migration but I am not aware of linux environment. What are the preparation do i need to do interms of linux upgrade / Migration.
Kindly help me out
Regards
Vijay

> 1. Taking backup from the live production system.

Yes - that's the way to go.
Simply follow the system copy guides.

Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Best regards,
William

I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
get started.

Paid Red Hat Linux (KVM Virtualization)

Hey guys, I was wondering, if anyone of you have shifted using Paid Red Hat Linux with CentOS, and what are your experiences of moving from Paid Linux to Unpaid Linux CenOS. When do you suggest a person use Paid Linux and when to use Unpaid Linux?

In my opinion these are the main reasons for getting a paid linux distro:
-peace of mind for managers. managers want to manage risks away, and they get a good feeling when they pay.
-having the ability to have help with diagnosing issues and crashes at a fixed point, and have SLA's about that. there are no guarantees when getting help from the community.
getting paid support also gets you the latest security and other updates, which is a bit slower on CentOS.

Configuring startWebLogic.sh for Red Hat Linux 7.2

I was successful in configuring and executing startWeblogic.cmd, but have not been
so lucky getting the equivalent to run on Red Hat 7.2 using startWebLogic.sh.
For starters, even before I began editing startWeblogic.sh and just tried running
I received the following error:
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
startWebLogic.sh: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'tartWebLogic.sh: line 59: `elif [ ! -f $WL_HOME/lib/weblogic.jar ]; then
I've included both my startWebLogic.cmd and startWebLogic.sh files so that you
can see what I'm trying to port to the sh file. I'm hoping I'm close to getting
this to execute and run within Linux so please accept my thanks in advance to
anyone who might have some suggestions. Interestingly enough I was able to get
wls to start using ant, but that is obviously only good for my development env.
The point being I'm hoping I'm close to reaching a solution.
Below is what my startWebLogic.cmd file looks like:
@echo off
@rem This script can be used to start WebLogic Server. This script ensures that
@rem the server is started using the config.xml file found in this directory and
@rem that the CLASSPATH is set correctly. This script contains the following variables:
@rem
@rem JAVA_HOME - Determines the version of Java used to start
@rem WebLogic Server. This variable must point to the
@rem root directory of a JDK installation and will be set
@rem for you by the WebLogic Server installer. Note that
@rem this script uses the hotspot VM to run WebLogic Server.
@rem If you choose to use a JDK other than the one

@rem includes the hotspot VM. See the WebLogic platform support
@rem page (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html)
@rem for an up-to-date list of supported JVMs on Windows NT.

StarOffice8 On Red Hat Linux x_86_64 Won't Start

I've just purchased the upgrade to StarOffice8 and installed it on my Red Hat Linux (AMD-64). The installation finished without any errors at all. I checked and all files were installed. However, when I start any of the apps, nothing displays. I can see the processes with 'ps' command but nothing on screen. I've changed the monitor resolution as described in the README, nothing works. All other X-WIndows stuff works fine. I have a pretty standard video card, the Nvidia FX 5200 and Red Hat came with drivers for that adapter. Can anyone help with this?

Hi Mink,
Confirm you have 1.5 GB free in /tmp. If not you can point the installer to another location -- set the variables TEMP, TMP, TEMPDIR to that new directory if you need to.

Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion.

Richard,
It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

Hi.
Try this site:
http://free-zg.hinet.hr/denisk/index_en.html
I've used the instructions on it for 8.1.7 and 9.0.1 on various
RedHat versions. Not an exact answer to your problem but it
might help.
Good Luck.

Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
controllers.
We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
6.2.7.
Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9
Please try: http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)

How to Install Oracle on Red Hat Linux?

My System is having P4 1.8 GHz Processor with 128 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD(7 GB Linux Partition + 1 GB Swap Partition). I have installed Red Hat Linux 9(Server). Now, I want to install Oracle 9 on this syste. But I don't know how to install it. Anyone who knows this, plz, mail me the necessary system requirements alongwith some settings, if any. My Email ID is [email protected]/[email protected]

I think you'll have some problems with 128MB RAM..... 
:P Nonsense, but I do hope that hard drive is one of those new, fancy flash hard drives, otherwise the system will spend so much time swapping that it won't get past the installer.

How to install Oracle 10g on to Red Hat Linux 5 Server

I'm new to both Linux and Oracle. I've been working on an installion of Oracle 10g on a Red Hat Linux 5 Server for about 2 weeks. I've been doing a lot of reading about installing Oracle on a Linux environment. I finally got to the installation portion and the Oracle Installer displayed a message that I had to have Red Hat 4 or 4 Enterprise to continue.
How can Install Oracle 10g onto a Red Hat 5 Linux Server"? Is there an option that I can use to bypass the OS checking?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is no way to access metalink without a valid account. You could then just try to skip preinstall requisites with this clause:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs
or this method:
Copy the oraparam.ini from the installation source install/oraparam.ini to /tmp directory.
Edit the file /tmp/oraparam.ini so this file reads:
After
[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,UnitedLinux-1.0,asianux-1,asianux-2,redhat-5
also, make sure you have these packages installed:

Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
Thanks again,
Virendra

I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
The Must PDF's to refer before installation
1)r1152ins.pdf
2)11iconcepts.pdf
According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
The installation process can be divided into
Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
2)1-11 CD's
1-3 Application Top information
4th Oracle DB
5-6 IAS and other tools
7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
Installation Types
Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
Test ==>For test Env Purposes
Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
Pre-Installation steps
======================
Space Requirement for types of installtions
Install VC++
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
Env path setting
Create Applmgr user in Win2000
Space Requirement for types installtion:
Memory Requirement
1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
HDD capacity
APP_Top(A)
COMMON_TOP(C)
DATA_TOP(D)
Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
Plus space for ur staging area.
This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
Softwares on System
Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
Install VC++:
Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
Evaluation copy from
http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
This can be done by performing the following steps:
NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
The directory contains the following files:
README
djtarnt.exe
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe
Only two of the files are required:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
3) Point your browser to the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
The files needed from this directory are:
make-3.77.tar.gz
make-3.78.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.tar.gz
Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
See [NOTE:115937.1]

http://www.gnu.org/ Note:104010.1: Release 11i on NT: Software Requirements
Note:115937.1: GNU Make won't make on windows NT
Important:All the downloaded files from GNU makes web sites shall be put in a single folder called gnumake under c:\ .Try to search for config.bat file inside this folders just click and
run it.
Env path setting:
Try to search make.exe generated in c:\program files\mkstoolkit\mksnt and copy and paste it
c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\windebug and c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\winRel also paste both this paths in the
My Computers==>Properties==>Advanced==>Environment variables==>Path setting's
After all this check as follows from CMD mode.
1)execute make at c:\>
2)execute gnumake at c:\>
In win2000 it may return error messages or Target wrong ignore it.If it is on Win NT then it will return proper status.
Create Applmgr user in Win2000:
Create a Applmgr user account in win2000 .
Installation:
=============
What here you require is the Patience .
Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
installed products it requires without any failure.
The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

Have anyone upgraded Red Hat Linux AS from 4.4 to 4.6 of EBS11510.2(CU2)?
