Identity manager rcu failure

Question

Hi,
I'm attempting to learn about Identity Manager, but I can't get the application installed.
The error I'm seeing when running RCU with the Identity Manager repository selected is: RCU-6130/RCU-6136: Error while trying to execute SQLPlus action.
From the rcu.log the following errors can be found:

Environment:
Windows 2008 x64 server for database host, 11.2.0.1.0 64bit db
Target ident manager server: windows 2003 32bit (I heard 32bit installs are easier)
Running the RCU utility from a 2008 or a 2003 host makes no difference, fails the same way.
From the documents here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/install.1111/e10033/configone.htm
Section 4.2.2 indicates a few parameters in the db must be set, so here are the current values for my db:
Total System Global Area 2104479744 bytes
Fixed Size 2177368 bytes
Variable Size 1476396712 bytes
Database Buffers 620756992 bytes
Redo Buffers 5148672 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.

I selected utf-8 during the db install as well.
I selected automated memory management, so alot of the memory values above were set to 0. I set the just to be sure..
I'm at a loss for what to check next.. Last time I tried installing this product only way i could get rcu to work was from a linux host; but then the install would fail.
The db is running in a virtual box vm, i think I gave it 5 gigs of memory. Could that be part of the problem? I'm looking for any directions or ideas, I havnt even gotten to installing the product yet; seems like a daunting task.
Thanks!!

Answer 1

you can try this
copy msvcr71.dll from (rcu-install-dir)\jdk\bin to: and C:\Windows\SysWOW64
and, If you are using ‘Oracle Database XE’ you must set the RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS environment variable to TRUE, before the installation
To do so: Right click on ‘My Computer’->Advanced Tab->Click on ‘Environment Variables’->Under ‘System Variables’ click ‘New’->
Name: RCU_JDBC_TRIM_BLOCKS, Value: TRUE
