Install Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0.0) Personal Edition on Windows 98 (Second Edition)

Hello,
I am unable to install Oracle 8i Personal Edition on my Windows 98 (Second Edition) system. I have selected "typical" install. All the files get installed (100% complete) but then the Configuration Tool install phase fails to complete when installing Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. I get the following error message :
java.lang.NullpointerException
at DropOracle.QueryDB(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.InitControls(Compiled Code)
at DeletePanel.<init>(DeletePanel.java:100)
at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCReateWizard.java:569)
at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1422)
The system just hangs with the "in progress" message.
The previous step -
The Net8 Configuration Assistant install completes successfully
(return code 0).
If anyone can help me resolve my problem it will be greatly appreciated.
Or if you could tell me which Oracle email address (or phone number) I should address my problem to it will be appreciated. I do NOT have a Oracle Support Licence (I only purchased the evaluation CD pack).
I have installed Java 2 (JDK 1.3) in a separate directory - but I understand Oracle 8i has its own version of JRE 1.1... in its own subdirectory structure ... so my JDK 1.3 should not be interfering with the Oracle 8i installation programs.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
My actual requirement is to move the catalog database(8i) which is running on one windows server 2003 to another windows server 2003.
catalog db :8.1.7.4.0 (crman)
and we have different target databases(8i, 9i and 10g) which is using the above db as catalog db.
Here is an example:
old server name : yyyyy :
new server name : zzzzz
Under Old server we have the following oracle homes
ORACLE_HOME - 8.1.7 - which is created under the user "ora817"
ORACLE_HOME - 9.2.0.7 - which is created under the user "ora920"
and the catalog database name : CRMAN which is a 8i database but for backups it is using 9i rman executables.(because in the script for rman backup they are setting the 9i home and backing up the data's)
I need to move the same setting to the new server. I dont know how I will proceed on this. I'm in a confused state. If anyone have the same experience
please share your ideas.
Thanks, Muhammed.

Install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1 version) 32 bit on Windows 7 platform

Can Anybody tell me how to install Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1 version) 32 bit on Windows 7 platform?

Can you tell me which Oracle version install on Windows 7 platform?11gR2 - when it is released next year.
In the mean time, some people have reported 11gR1 (the one for Windows Vista or 2008) to work - mostly somewhat.
I'm not quite sure I understand the urgency to get to Windiows 7 in view of the fact that it is unsupported and potentially inoperative. What I mean is that I don't understand the logic of getting to Windows 7 (or Fedora 12) as the latest and greatest operating system if it does not fully support the applications that are needed for the business (or the classroom).
Would you please help me understand ...

Raj,
I installed OBIEE 10.1.3.4 version on my Windows Vista Home Premium successfully and working fine. while installing it asked to install JDK 1.4 or higher and got it working
I hope you went to Sever folder to execute the setup exe file there.
There are 3 folders after downloadig the product, I went to Server folder and clicked on Setup.exe there and got it working.
I am not sure why you were not able to, let me find any helpful information and will keep you updated.
Good luck.

Install oracle client 32 bits on 64 bits windows

We need to intall Oracle driver for OLEDB on a SQL server box.
The SQL server is windows 2008 R2 and SQL server 2008 R2, 64 bits.
But because we have some SSIS packages that need to run in 32 bits,(for example the source file is the Excel), so we are installing oracle client 32 bits instead of 64 bits on the windows box which is 64 bits.
Anyone knows if this will work?
Thanks

I think it should work. I have a server Win 2008 x64 which runs 32 bit 11g client and we haven't had an issue. I had the same situation as you are in which required me to install 32bit client on x64 server. if you have a test server I would try this on the test server identical to production to make sure that you won't see any hick ups in your production environment. hope this helps.

Error installing Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor

Hello,
I have installed Oracle EE 11g 11.2.0.1.0 on a Windows 2008 R2 server. Now, I am using the Oracle Universal Installer to install the Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor 11.2.0.1.0
Source path is D:\Share\11gR2_win32_11gR2_database_install\database\stage\products.xml
Installation Type is Custom
Install Location is C:\app\dmadmin
Path is C:\app\dmadmin\OraHome_1
I de-select all product components and select the following two:
Oracle Windows Interfaces 11.2.0.1.0
Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor 11.2.0.1.0
I get the following error:
OUI-10150:Error: A runtime exception occurred while setting s_digCfgNamingLabelSIDnull in component Database 11g 11.2.0.1.0 . Installation cannot continue for this component.
I am given the choice of Stop installation of all products and Stop installation of this component only which both result in non-installation of selected component.
Does anyone have any advice or solutions for this error? I have tried re-booting the server, but get the same error.
Thanks for your assistance,
Stumped

OUI from ORACLE_HOME (OH\oui\bin\setup.exe) cannot be used to install components from 11.2.0.1 installation media (products.xml)
This is documented, but I am not able to locate it now.
Have you checked if the Performance Monitor files are already installed or not?
Thanks

Install Oracle Forms and Reports 11g (11.1.1.4)

Dear Gurus,
I would like to install Oracle Forms and Reports 11g (11.1.1.4) on Windows 2012 Server. So could you please suggest me whether Windows 2012 is certified or not for installing Oracle Forms and Reports 11g (11.1.1.4) .
Thanks & Regards,
Satish Kumar Sadhu.

Hi Satish,
Forms 11.1.1.4 is not certified for Windows Server 2012. Further more, no 11g Forms release is actually certified by Oracle to run on Windows Server 2012.
I would use Windows Server 2008 and use Forms 11.1.2.1 (11gR2). 11gR2 is the best release from Oracle and will run much better than Forms 11.1.1.4.
For a peace of mind, you can check My Oracle Support - Certifications Tab and/or the published Certification Matrices below:
11gR1 Matrix (For releases 11.1.1.x): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
11gR2 Matrix (For releases 11.1.2.x): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/oracle-forms-11gr2certmatrix-519680.xls

Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX?

Hi, guys:
I have a question: Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX 4.2? I have installed Oracle XE 11g on windows 7, however, I got problem to run Oracle XE listener, though Oracle XE itself is running. Since my purpose is to run Oracle APEX I was wondering if I have to make Oracle XE listener working at first.
Thanks for your comments!
Sam

Hi, Jarola:
Thanks for your help! My supervisor asked us to install Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener in our local PC (windows 7 64 bits). I guess his purpose is to train us to install APEX 4.2 eventually. I installed OC4J and APEX listener before without much problem; but I have difficulty to install Oracle XE on windows 7 64 bits version as so far Oracle XE only supports 32 bits windows. after I installed Oracle XE, I got these problems:
#1 the Oracle XE itself is running, but XE listener cannot work, it always reports "the Oracle OracleXETNSListener service started and then stopped, some service stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.",
#2 It looks Oracle_home of XE conflicts with that of OC4J. I tried to set ORACLE_HOME as "C:\OC4J\oc4j_extended_101350;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server", but OC4J cannot find config file so I cannot start OC4J. it is messed up.
#3 most of all, I was wondering if you could tell me the relationship among Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener regarding installing APEX 4.2, are they all necessary to install APEX 4.2? if so, could you guide me to install these things with proper steps (say, which one should be installed first?)? any of your suggestion would be very appreciated! (I have tried two weeks without progress...)

Installing Oracle Pers. Ed 8.16 on Windows ME

Hi,
I have tried to install Oracle Pers. Ed 8.16 (win 98 version) on Windows ME a few times but it stalls dead right at the beginning. When I'm asked to specify the source and destination path; a pop up windows opens stating that a problem occured while trying to access the temporary zone (I was never asked to specify any info on this). The message goes on asking to verify the source and destination path.
The source path is :
C:\Program Files\ORACLE\STAGE\products.jar
The destination path is (as specified on page 49 of the documentation file (A85314-01.pdf):
C:\Program Files\ORACLE\ORA81
So what's wrong ?
Thank you very much for your help !

I've specified the source as C:\Program Files\ORACLE\STAGE\products.jar and destination as c:\Program Files\ORACLE\ORA81... but still same message appears. Do I have to downgrade my OS to Windows 98 just to make this work? Please HELP before I do some stupid stuff.

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

Invalid Exit Code. The following result code will be used for

Configuration tool Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
failed"
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

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:

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 Craig,
Database 11gR2 could be used for Installing Application Server 10.1.3.x but with some limitation.
So please review the note:-887365.1 Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Certification for Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2, 10.1.3, 10.1.4)
Section :- Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3)
Regards,
