I am fooled by Oracle installation since Oracle 6 ( 7 years ago )

The purpose of the "Public Download of Oracle Products" should be a good advertisment of Oracle towards all the users.
But the installation is so much difficult that made everybody complain.
After more than 20 times of installation - uninstallation, I start thinking whether should I give up considering Oracle (speically 9iAS).
Also, the patch installation (of 9iAS for Linux) is so much complicated, some of the steps cannot succeed. In this situation, How can I feel reliable to put such a system on working ?????
When I recall the experience of installing Microsoft's BackOffice4.5 or BackOffice 2000, I never have any error during installation, no matter on the first installation steps or add more components after first installation.
When will Oracle simplify the installation step or made the installation more friendly and more stable?
I am fooled by Oracle Installation since Oracle 6 (7 years ago), and now still fooling by Oracle9i Products yet...

Error during Oracle installation in Oracle Enterprise Linux

Hi All,
I was trying to install Oracle 10g in Oracle Enterprise Linux, and I'm getting the following error when I give the command *./runInstall*.
[oracle@localhost database]$ ./runInstaller -responseFile /home/oracle/database/response/enterprise1.rsp -nowelcome

OUI-10025:Unable to start an interactive install session because of the following error:Can't connect to X11 window server using '127.0.0.1:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to <hostname or IP address>:<screen>, where the <screen> is usually '0.0'.
OUI-10026:Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:
- For csh: % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
- For sh, ksh and bash: $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY
Use the following command to see what shell is being used:
echo $SHELL
Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:
echo $DISPLAY
- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.
OUI-10027:To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:
% xhost +
To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':
% <full path to xclock... see below>
If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for 'xclock': '/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock'
I have tried to set the DISPLAY variable to my IP address, but it still gives the same issue.
Please find the logs for the same:

Please suggest on what can be done as this is the last step for the Oracle installation which I'm unable to complete.
Let me know for any more details needed.

I had to replace my iphone 4 because i lost my first one, upon connecting to itunes it is sincing to one year ago and everything since then is not appearing s

I just had to replace my iphone because i lost my first one, when i sinced with itunes it is outdated by a full year. every thing since 6/25/10 messages contact phone history etc is not there. how do i get it current, all updates etc where done on lost one???

michael j.fromworcester wrote:
it backs up every time you connect? correct?
Not if automatic syncing on connection is disabled in iTunes preferences. Then the phone backs up only when manually syncing or manual backup. Check this pref setting:
iTunes Prefs > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. It that is selected, you have to manually sync or backup.
In that section you should see a list of all iPhone backup stored by device. What is the latest one showing?

Ever since about 1 year ago I cannot sort search engines (ctrl+k) in a way other than alphabetically. I used to be able to. how to fix it?

As per article:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/search-bar-easily-choose-your-search-engine?esab=a&as=aaq#w_re-order-search-engines
Re-order search engines doesn't work for me. It always reverts back to alphabetically. It's been going on for a year now and lots of FF upgrades. How do you fix it? Regards.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

Question about SAP installation with Oracle 10g

I have successfully installed Oracle 10g on Windows server 2008 R2 64bit. I can connect to the database using mysql or through command prompt and run SQL commands.
I started installing the SAP EHP1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 ("51038620_13 BS 7 SR1 Installation Master Windows Server on x64 64bit") The installation goes very smooth. I choose the SAPSID and the DBSID sid, but then it gives an error stating to install oracle and continue or stop the installation & install Oracle. I have tried on continuing the installation since Oracle is already installed but I get the same message again and again.
Does it have to do with ORACLE 10g Sid. My Oracle SID is set to "ORCL" should it be the same as DBSID (during SAP Installation). Or the Oracle needs to be installed after SAP installation gets to the point for Oracle Installation. Please assist what needs to be changed. I can reinstall Oracle if needed. Any tips or comments would be nice.

> Does it have to do with ORACLE 10g Sid. My Oracle SID is set to "ORCL" should it be the same as DBSID (during SAP Installation). Or the Oracle needs to be installed after SAP installation gets to the point for Oracle Installation.
You can't "change". You installed the Oracle software using "setup.exe" - which is wrong. You also created an example database - which is also not correct.
The Oracle software is installed, according to the installation guide, as
- start "sapserver.cmd" on the Oracle DVD (the SAP media)
- install the software according to the installation guide
- install the latest patchset
- install the latest PSU patch
--> and then start sapinst.

Oracle Installer scripting

Does anyone know where to find a comprehensive documentation of Oracle Installer scripting (for Windows)?
I'd like to deploy my Developer (6.0) app with Oracle Installer (using Oracle File Packager).
I must modify the code it generates but I can't really find a good and comprehensive doc for it.
Thanks,
Zs

Installation problem - Oracle 11gR2 Windows XP Professional SP 2

Hello everybody!
I have a problem at the installation moment of Oracle 11g R2 on Windows XP Professional Edition with SP 2. Please help me!
This is my computer's hardware configuration:
CPU Intel Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz x86
RAM: 1 GB
Hard disk: SATA 180 GB
Graphic Card: PCI-Express nVidia 7300GS 256 MB
Network connection: LAN / Internet connection: ADSL
O.S. Windows XP Professional Edition SP 2 (and installed .Net framework 2.0)
Antivirus: AVG 9.0 free edition
WEB Browser: Internet Explorer / Mozilla Firefox.
I tried to Install Oracle 11g R2 2 times, so I have formatted my computer 2 times because after the installation process, the Oracle Universal Installer don't respond.
Every time I installed the O.S., drivers, Antivirus, .Net Framework, Ms office, everything works properly.
I configured the network connection to use a fixed IP Address, I created the environment variables ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_UNQNAME (1st time its value was the same value of ORACLE_SID, 2nd time its value was the database global name) and then, I start the SETUP program, it run properly, but at the moment of finish the database creation this message appears: execute the commands: 1) define ORACLE_UNQNAME in database unique name 2) emctl.bat start dbconsole.
Through SQL Plus I can connect to the database, execute queries, the listener is working, but the database console service doesn't work. If I try to start it since command prompt (emctl start dbconsole) I get a message about the specific error 2.
What can I do??
Thanks in advance!

Good morning! I hope you are fine.
I appreciate your help.
Jean-Valentin: I opened a DOS box (logged as the Administrator User who installed Oracle), I changed the ORACLE_SID value and the result of the commands:
set ORACLE_SID=MGN
emctl stop dbconsole
emctl start dbconsole
emctl status dbconsole
was this one:
C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010\BIN>emctl stop dbconsole
OC4J Configuration issue. C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_oraserver11_MGN not found.
Definitively, change the value of ORACLE_SID is not right. Then, I changed the ORACLE_SID again to its original value and the result was:
C:\Oracle_base\Home_ODB11gR2_Aug1st2010\BIN>emctl stop dbconsole
Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.1.0

The OracleDBConsoleMGN service could not be started.
A service specific error occurred: 2.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.
Using the ORACLE_SID original name, at least the emctl shows the OracleDBConsoleMGN as not started when I try to stop.
schavali: When I executed the Oracle Installation, the database configuration assistant showed this message:
The Enterprise Manager configuration was success with this warning: Error at start up database control, execute the commands: and you know, here start our history.
And the 3 steps of the database configuration assistant shows this:
Copying database files : Success (correct mark)
Creating and starting up database instance: Success (correct mark)
Finishing database creation: Success (correct mark)
I'll try to check the information of the link: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B16240_01/doc/em.102/e10954/structure.htm#CACBBFGI
and then, I write again.
This cannot be... Oracle always works properly... is powerful... what is going on???
Thanks guys, have a great day!

Hi Elmar,
I have checked the packages and the XFree86-libs-4.3.99 is not installed. I guess I will have to install it.
Now your question about oracle user. I am not sure if you have performed any SAP MDM installation with ORACLE RDBMS but the installation guide is totally different than the normal SAP inst guides. Indeed someone needs to install separately SAP MDM and ORACLE and in my installation I do not install NetWeaver since it is not mandatory for the testing phase of the project. You can have a look at the guide (it is very poor -no reference to ORACLE details):
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E
So the official ORACLE inst gudie says to install the ORACLE software with the oracle user.
Rgds,
Louka

Oracle Installation or Uninstallation Solutions For Windows 95/98/2000/ME/NT/XP

You must read carefully the following steps here. If you previously installed any Oracle's products on your machine, I strongly recommend you to clean up thoroughly before install the new products.
================================================================
Uninstallation
The easiest way to remove ALL traces of Oracle software, for an 8i installation, is:
(1) Using regedit, remove the key \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
(2) Remove all the Oracle services (usually called Ora-something) from \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
(3) Go to the ORACLE_HOME directory (usually C:\Oracle\Ora81). Go to the BIN directory beneath this. Rename the file OCIW32.DLL to something like OCIW32.OLD.
(4) Reboot your box.
(5) Once you have logged on again, delete the directories C:\Program Files\Oracle and C:\Oracle.
(6) Right-click on My Computer, select Properties->Environment. Edit the environmental variable PATH to remove all refernces to files in the two directories you have just deleted.
(7) Remove the Oracle folders from your Start menu.
*** Obviously, using regedit on your machine always entails risks, and I won't be held responsible if you end up trashing your system. However, the above procedure is one I have used many times with complete success. You have been warned! ;) ***
As to logging on, the "standard" Oracle accounts are:
SYS/change_on_install (SYSDBA - database owner)
SYSTEM/manager (Owns various VIEWs and utility PACKAGEs)
and (optionally):
SCOTT/tiger (Training account containing some sample tables)
If you're using PO8i on the local machine, you shouldn't need to worry about setting up NET*8 (Oracle's networking protocols)
=================================================================
Windows 95 and 98
This will remove all Oracle products, Oracle services, and Oracle registry entries from your computer.
Complete the following steps to create a Clean Machine. Backup any relevant databases before proceeding!
On Windows 95 and Windows 98:
1. Ensure you shutdown your Oracle. Right click on the Oracle Icon in the toolbar and click on the shutdown option.
2. Un-install all your Oracle products if possible. Use universal installer to do that. Ignore this step if you dont have universal installer on your machine.
3. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
4. Delete the ORACLE key.
5. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path setting.
6. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle directory (Oracle Base).
7. Delete <system_drive>:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt).
8. Delete Icons from <system_drive>: \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <system_drive>:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle Installation Products. Where <HOME> is the previous HOME name.
9. Reboot your computer.
On Windows NT:
1. Ensure you are logged in as a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Stop all Oracle Services through Control Panel Services. Use universal installer to un-install your Oracle products. Ignore un-install if you dont have universal installer on your machine.
3. Using regedit (at the command prompt, type regedit), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and delete the ORACLE key.
4. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services that begin with ORACLE.
5. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application, and remove all keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application that begin with ORACLE.
6. Close regedit.
7. From the Control Panel, open System.
8. If JRE was installed by Oracle, remove the %ORACLE_HOME%\BIN path and the JRE path. For example, you may see a path similar to this one: C:\ORACLE\ORAxx\BIN;G: \Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.7\bin. Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Environment tab. Click on the system variable path and modify the path.
9. Delete Icons from <system_drive>:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <system_drive>:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle Installation Products. Where <HOME> is the previous HOME name.
10. Delete <system_drive>:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command prompt).
11. Reboot your computer.
12. Delete all ORACLE_BASE directories (You can find the Oracle homes listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ORACLE_HOMES).

Installer Versions in the the Versions Affected section.
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) for 8.1.x Hangs on Machines
with Pentium 4
Processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Versions Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oracle 8.1.5
============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.6.0.9.0
Oracle 8.1.6
=============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.0.19.0
Oracle 8.1.7
==============
Oracle Universal Installer 1.7.1.9.0
Platforms Affected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000
and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be affected.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
When installing Oracle Products with the Oracle Universal
Installer (8.1.x)
on machines that use the Sun JRE and Symmantec JIT, the
installer hangs.
Specifically for the Windows platform, the following version
of the Symmantec
JIT or earlier will encounter the failure:
Symantec Java! JustInTime Compiler Version 3.10.107 for JDK
1.2.
Details regarding this issue can be found at:
http://developer.intel.com/design/processor/future/manuals/knowni ssue.htm
How to determine if you have Symmantec Java for JDK 1.2:
1. Select the file "symcjit.dll" and right click on it.
2. Select Properties, then the Version tab.
3. 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. "
Likelihood of Occurrence
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any platform that uses the Intel Pentium 4 processor, with the
Sun JRE
and Symmantec JIT will encounter this problem. Windows NT,
Windows 2000 and NetWare platforms are confirmed to be
affected.
Possible Symptoms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The failure typically is that the affected application simply
terminates.
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\DataF
iles\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.

================================================================
The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on

work to allow installation of Oracle Client 8.1.7 on a Pentium 4
This function is useful and you can find two file to rename
===============================================================
Windows ME
Solution to the installation of Oraclei8.1.7 PE in Windows Millennium
Oracle does not support installing version 8.1.7 PE into
Windows Millennium.
As an unsupported workaround, you may add the following line
to the [compatibility95] section of win.ini prior to
installation:
Jrew=0x00080000
After setup is complete, Oracle will recommend a reboot.
There is one additional step necessary prior to reboot;
Oracle may add a non-standard path statement to the
autoexec.bat file. Please modify this SET PATH
statement to use short-filenames if you find a quoted
LFN string represented as part of the path. You can
confirm that the path was merged successfully into the
registry after reboot by examining the PATH variable
in the registry at
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment
Symptoms of a missing Oracle path statement in the registry are that Net8 Easy Config will not launch.
Please note that Oracle does not support the use of this
product in Windows ME, but have authorized these workarounds
for testing purposes only.
===============================================================
Windows XP Home Edition
Oracle 8i is not certified on windows XP. Even if yes, it must be Windows XP Professional.
You can install Oracle8i on windows XP Home Edition, try like this:
1 - Copy your Oracle CD into hard disk in your
machine. For example Copy from oracle8i CD into C:\Oracle\ ...
2 - Search the two files named Symcjit.dll on the D drive (where you have copied Oracle8i. You can found them in (example):
C:\Oracle\stage\Components\oracle.swd.jre\1.1.7.30\1
\DataFiles\Expanded\jre\win32\bin\symcjit.dll
3 - Rename this file (Example): symcjit_back.dll (make sure to find two files and rename them)
4 - Execute the Oracle setup.exe from C:\Oracle\setup.exe
===============================================================
When Oracle 8i dies on the install or the installer hangs, here is the fix for this, make sure that you have Service Pack 2 installed.
1. \JRE\1.3.1\ From Sun. (You can download java program at http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html)
2. Install the java file.
There is also a problem in the installation disk.
3. Make a copy of the Oracle 8i disk on the local hard disk.
4. Do a search for the two files called symcjit.dll and rename them for example: symcjit.old.
5. Install Oracle from the win32 directory.
================================================================
PLEASE NOTE THAT ORACLE DOESN'T SUPPORT THE USE OF THOSE PRODUCTS IN WINDOWS ME, BUT HAVE AUTHORIZED THESE WORKAROUNDS FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY

Hi,Beau Leo, I am having problem installing Oracle9i Database Rel.2 on my pc.
I read the suggestion and solution you posted for fixing Oracle 8.1.x installation
probblem, and since my pc also hung at 48% while installing Oracle 9i software,
I wonder if the same problem in the Oracle8 Vs.Pentium4 also exists for Oracle9i.
I have Windows2000,256RAM, Pentium3 1Ghz, and 13.8 free diskspace. But the installation always
hangs at 48%, my computer will just shut down and restart automatically without
even showing an error message. I have tried installing the Enterprise edition for 3
times already but everytime encountered the same problem. I've also tried custom installation
by selecting not to create database, but it also hung.
Before I started each installation, I always made sure that my registry and environment
path are cleared and that all the partially-installed Oracle files are deleted.
I hope that you or anyone who has a solution for this problem could be so kindly to help me out.
Thank you in advance.

Oracle Installer crashes in Windows XP attempting to install 10g database

I downloaded the file "10201_database_win32.zip" from oracle, and attempted to install it on a Windows XP Professional 2002 with SP2. It crashes immediately, giving me no information at all. It starts with messages:
No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini, no system pre-requisite checks will be executed.
Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from C:\DOCUME~1\Windows\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2006-06-21_08046022PM. Please wait ...
Immediately after that, I get the windows messagebox saying:
oui.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The only other information I can find is the InstallActions log file, which contains:
Using paramFile: C:\Documents and Settings\Windows\My Documents\Doug\Internet Updates\Oracle\10201_database_win32\database\install\oraparam.ini
No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini, no system pre-requisite checks will be executed.
The commandline for unzip:
C:\Documents and Settings\Windows\My Documents\Doug\Internet Updates\Oracle\10201_database_win32\database\install\unzip -qqq ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.4.2.8.0/1/DataFiles/"*.jar" -d "C:\DOCUME~1\Windows\LOCALS~1\Temp\OraInstall2006-06-21_08-46-22PM"
If anybody can give me any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

The Installer crashes, then it surely should be something to do with memory issue...or the explorer.
Is your windows xp stable?
plus do you have enough free space in your c drive ?!
It has nothing to do with the OS admin..login...
The installer is exiting and should be an OS resource issue..
i would have checked for space and memory ...then looked at my OS. Any back ground crazy internet programs running....
I would look at OS since oracle successfully installs in windows xp without a hitch!

Oracle 11g installation on Oracle Enterprise Linux, 64bit version.

Hi
I want to install oracle 11g on Oracle Enterprise Linux, 64bit version.
Do I need to set kernel parameters in this operating system, since it is not standart Linux editions.
or
Can I have a step by step documentation for installing oracle 11g on this operating system?

Hello,
Yes you do need to set kernal parameters in order to meet pre-requisites, otherwise your installation will fail and oracle might not work or unstable.
Here is the best place to find out stepwise installation instruction and kernel parameter configuration

4.6C Database instance installation for Oracle 10.2.0.2 64 bit

Trying to Install 4.6C Database instance with R3SETUP for Oracle 10g database.
The Oracle binaries for Oracle 10.2.0.2 64 bit are already installed.
When i run SETUP.BAT for installing Database instance i get the following error.
*Error: DBCOMMONDBENV_NT_ORA InternalColdKeyCheck 2 648*
*Please install Oracle before continuing the installation!*
I fail to understand the error since Oracle is already install.
Please help resolving the issue.

As per the previous discussion we had regarding SAP note 932722, Upgrading 10g by copying datafiles from the 32 bit server to 64 bit x86_64 server.
The Oracle upgrade has been completed sucessfully as below,
a) Oracle 10g binaries were installaed
b) Datafiles copied from 32 bit server
c) 10g upgrade completed using the perl scripts attached with the note

Oracle Installation for Production Environment.

Hi All,
We need to install Oracle in our production environment.
But since there is no DBA in our project, we need to do it by ourself.
I was just wondering what all steps and cautions I need to take to install it.
I was told just double click on Setup.exe :-) and that would suffice.
I am pretty sure its not that easy, atleast for a production environment.
We might need to set some params, may be.
We are at present using Oracle 10g Rel 1.
Any help/suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Tanuja

Well, it does more complicate than a double click of setup.exe, especially for a production database.
It's not only about the installation, also think about how do you want to create your database, the storage configuration, database configuration, and backup/recover strategy etc.
For installation, make sure you follow Oracle installation guide,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10130_02/toc.htm
And there are many other document here

VNC certainly has it's beauty and advantages. I was under the impression though that the OP is trying to run OUI on a local server console that is runnig a graphical desktop. If that wasn't the case, VNC was certainly a preferable option.I have not done a local GUI console installation of Oracle in years. In fact, I'm known to start foaming at the mouth when discovering a server running X on the console, disabling it interactively, preventing initlevel 5 from ever loading X again, and leave comments of my disgust in inittab. ;-)
If I'm not mistaken then the vncserver does not need to have the X server running since the necessary support is built-in. The installation of X libraries is probably still required, but I'm not sure.It needs a X display manager. And xterm. twm does fine as display manager. Small and minimalistic. Not the greatest of ideas loading an entire Gnome desktop in VNC.
Btw, Apple Mac OS X provides seamless X11 support and uses VNC for screen sharing and even for installing a system remotely. If you use Apple Mac to access a remote Linux system, using ssh with X forwarding is very convenient as it works right out of the box without having to configure the remote Linux server.Nice. OS/X has come a long way the last few years. I recall a time when they pretended there was no "stinking" command line. :-)

I am fooled by Oracle installation since Oracle 6 ( 7 years ago )
