Install problems on Oracle 10.2.0.1

I am trying to install on Oracle10.2.0.1 Suse linux 9.3
When I run the ./runInstaller I get an error Checking operating system version: must be redhat-2.1AS, redhat-3, suse-9 or suse-10 Failed <<<<<
Exiting Oracle Universal Installer
Any clues to what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Tim

Hello,
maybe the error message: "ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed" is a result when working with mapped drives on a network.
I installed Oracle XE on a VMWare machine and had APEX 3.0.1 unzipped on the host machine. I mapped the drive P: on the host as D: on VM and in a command window in VM I started sqlplus.
Starting @D:\ORACLE\Download\APEX\apex\apxldimg.sql D:\ORACLE\Download\APEX\ gave an error:PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
old   1: create directory APEX_IMAGES as '&1/apex/images'
new   1: create directory APEX_IMAGES as 'D:\ORACLE\Download\APEX\/apex/images'
Directory created.
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The system cannot find the path specified.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 523
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 287
ORA-06512: at line 15So I copied the hole apex directory from the host to C:\oraclexe on my VM.
Then I started @c:\oraclexe\apex\apxldimg.sql c:\oraclexe and - no error and images are correct in Apex on my VM.

  • Oracle 9i install problem on Redhat 7.1

    Hi there,
    I have some problems during the installation of Oracle 9i on RedHat 7.1:
    All is ok untill the install of "linking Oracle 9i installation"
    by this time it runs some makefiles to link and install files.
    It requires a library called libclntsh that does not exist.
    I tried to run the genclntsh script to build it, but the load failed with the following errors:

    export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 Hi
    I installed 9i to a SuSe 8.0 with the suggested environment variable turned on and I still had the same problem. As the Installer complained I manually linked the modules, for example, by running
    make -f ./ins_ldap.mk odipinstall
    and I had the same error with the message:
    /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lclntsh

    It seems that a library missing (libclntsh.a ?)

  • Oracle 9i Install problem

    Hi
    I am installing (via vmware) Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on debian (kernel 2.4.18) the install went fine except for a few hitches which i fixed after a quick google search. However after the install the install window closed during the setup of services.

    I have searched the net for the answer to this problem but I can't find an answer that works.
    I've tried unsetting the following:
    LANG
    LC_LANG
    LC_CTYPE
    RC_TYPE
    With no luck. I have tried pointing oracle to use my jre instead of theirs by altering the oraparam.ini file, no effect. I have taken my jre in and out of the path, no effect.
    The only thing I can think of is that I don't have enough memory available - i only have 384mb available via vmware for this install. I need to figure out if it is this or something else, I can't just blame it on the lack of memory if it is not the case.
    I look forward to your comments.

    Zarmia
    The best thing I advise you to do when installing Oracle 9i onto GNU/Debian is to carry a search on the OTN newsgroups for the keyword 'Debain'. I found that there were quite a few previous posts which explain in considerable detail the processes which should be followed when installing Oracle 9i onto Debain. Failing that, if you carry out a Google search for "Oracle 9i on Debian", you will there quite a few web pages which provide information of installing Oracle 9i onto Debian.
    Hope this helps

  • Problem on Installing RAC System - Oracle Linux 6.2 and 11gR2

    Folks,

  • Problem installing ODAC for Oracle Server 11g

    I have installed Oracle Server 11g (OS:Windows XP)
    Questions:
    1. I tried installing ODAC for Oracle Server 11.1.0.6.21, then its giving the following error message: "Oracle data access components can only be installed over an existing oracle server 11g".
    2. We have a Monorail application running on NHibernate using ODP.NET. It's working perfectly when I run it on my Visual Studio 2008.
    But, when I tried to host this application, it gave me the following error message: "The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client"
    Please suggest how to resolve these issues.

    Hi
    Could that be related to the %ORACLE_HOME% ?
    I've read that on the ODAC installation guide:
    On a machine without Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed, ODAC products now work if they are installed in a new Oracle Home
    So it should be performed in a new %ORACLE_HOME% and not the same as the database. Please change that and retry.
    Source:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/install11106.html
    On your second question :
    Q: I get an error: "Unable to load DLL (OraOps.dll)". How do I fix this?
    A: First, ensure the OraOps.dll file is in your Oracle bin directory (e.g. d:\oracle\ora92\bin\). Next, check that your Oracle bin directory is in the Windows system path. If either of these are not present, re-install ODP.NET. Depending on the application, you may have to restart the application (e.g. Windows Service) or reboot the computer (e.g. ODP.NET install makes changes to the PATH) for ODP.NET installation to be complete. If your ODP.NET installation is still not working, you may be running into this problem.

  • Yast installation problem on Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2

    Hi,
    I installed Oracle Enterprise Linux Rel 5 Upd 2 on a new server (Intel 64 bit) with the downloads from oracle
    (Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc1.iso till Enterprise-R5-U2-Server-x86_64-disc6.iso).
    Then I wanted to install Yast for administering my machine and downloaded yast_el5_x86_64.tar, again from Oracle. Running the Yast install routine it required the perl-Digest-SHA package. I downloaded that from Oracle ULN and installed it.
    Now, running the Yast install routine again, I get a bunch of warnings and errors about failed dependencies and NOKEY's.
    Here I copied a part of it:

  • Problem running Oracle Portal to Go (Oracle9i 1.0.2.0.0)

    I have installed Oracle9i Application Server WE 1.0.2.0.0 Standard Edition on Windows2000 Professional Edition. I am getting problems regarding running Portal to Go.
    The installer said that installation was successful. Moreover I have done the configuration tasks mentioned Oracle9i installation guide under post installation steps for Oracle9i.
    But Oracle Portal to Go is not running and returning error message. Are there some other tasks still to perform to configure the Oracle Portal to Go Standard Edition?
    Here it is a brief Description of what I have done with the installations process
    System: Pentium II 500 MHZ with 256 MB RAM and 15 GB Hard Disk so enough space available for installations.
    Windows 2000 professional was freshly installed
    All pre installation tasks are done like paging file size is 896MB
    Important Installation steps and points are as under (Standard Edition of Oracle 9i Application Server 1.0.2.0.0):
    I followed all the steps given in Oracle 9i AS installation guide
    On Windows 2000 Installer never asks for reboot before actually installing the Oracle 9i application server (Chapter 4 of installation guide: preparing system for installation: step5: page 5 of 25). So I manually reboot the system
    During installation when I reached Database Access Descriptor (DAD) for Oracle Portal. In TNS connect string field for Apache listener Configuration I entered the same name (abc) (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step2, 3: page 10,11 of 25) as I was going to use for my Global database name later at database Identification steps (chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 4: page 12 of 25)
    Note: In an other installation I left the same fields (TNS connect string) blank but of no use.
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    When installation of Oracle9i AS reaches 100% installer opens a command prompt and displays
    ORA: 12541 TNS: No Listener
    Enter user name:
    When I enter SYSTEM as a user name it displays
    Password:
    I entered manager as password and then it displays
    ORA 12560: TNSProtocol adaptor error
    And once again it asks for user name and password
    I once again enter system as a user and manager as password.
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    After 100% completion of the installation the configuration tools screen appears
    (Chapter 4 of installation guide: installing oracle 9i Application server: step 10: page 17 of 25) and the following tasks are performed
    Net8 configuration Assistant succeeds
    Oracle database configuration assistant succeeds
    When The Oracle portal 3.0 configuration Assistant Starts
    I hold the installation steps for oracle portal for a while and do some database configuration tasks that are necessary (may be some are not) for installation of portal.
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    For example
    Increase the table space size of Users (400 MB), and Temp (100MB) table spaces.
    Validated invalid PL/SQL Modules with ULTRP.SQL script
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    Installed dbms_job.sql package as it was mentioned in another guide (Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2: Page 1: last line)
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    Stopped the database and listener
    And did some changes as was asked in Oracle portal-to-Go installation Guide- Release1.0.2
    Edited the init<SID>.ora file and set the following fields
    aq_tm_processes = 1
    job_queue_processes = 4 (2 were recommended in guide but I left the already set values)
    job_queue_interval = 30
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    Also I did the following too (though these are recommended for Internet file system)
    opern_cursors = 300 (in installation guide it is asked 255 but I kept the already set value)
    shared_pool_size = 52438800 (50M was suggested and this is more than that)
    processes = 200
    (Please let me know if I have made any mistake here)
    I started the database and listener
    Proceeded the installation of Oracle Portal as is described in installation guide for Oracle 9i Application guide 1.0.2.0.0
    And successfully completed the installation of Oracle Portal
    There were no errors reported on the installer however when I read the installation log some errors were mentioned at the end of the file
    Please see the attached log file.
    I also completed all the post installation tasks at the end of chapter 4 of Oracle9i Application Server installation guide 1.0.2.0.0 except the configuration of Oracle Internet file system (is it necessary for running Oracle Portal to Go)
    When I run the oracle portal to go the following situation is encountered
    Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/dadentries.htm
    Error at: http://localhost/pls/portal30/portal30.home
    Error: The preference path does not exist: Oracle.Portal.Page (WWC-51000)
    (And this is the main source of confusion)
    Working: http://localhost/pls/portal30/admin_/gateway.htm?schema=portal30
    Working: http://et-wks-08:5555/invoke/wm.server.admin/adminPage
    Are there any other guides and post installation steps still to follow to successfully run this Portal to Go or it is sufficient?
    I can also send the installation logs of both Oracle 9i application server (installActions.log and installActions2001-05-28_03-50-56-PM.log) and Oracle portal to Go (install.log).
    If you ask, I can send you the installation guides that I have followed and the screen shoots of the error messages for a detail review.
    Moreover can anyone please tell me if this version of Oracle 9i Application server is ok or I must try some other version?
    Also advise any other if any successful configuration and installation options.
    Is it possible to run this portal to go with any other installation options/arrangements/configurations etc?
    Any help from anyone will be highly appreciated.

    If you use portal 30 instead of OAS, The installation gives you the Apache ready.

  • Tns problem with Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools

    I installed the full
    Oracle 11g ODAC 11.1.0.6.21 with Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio
    now I am at the good old "[ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]" error.
    I copied the same tnsnames.ora as used on the db server
    onto the client "C:\Oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\Network\Admin".
    The host name is right since a normal ping works. TNSping is not available.
    but I get the [ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified] error.
    The listener is running and the instance as well since it all works on the source server.
    I tried it with
    SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\bin
    but tnsping is still not recognized.
    sqlplus works on the other hand when I set it to
    SET path=c:\oracle\product\11.1.0\client_2\
    what is going on...

    hey
    u can post your query here, and i think everyone here is to share opinion so do not hesitate to do so and please try to google before posting here,
    and we know no one is expert like some people saying 'boring questions' you just try to overcome your problem and you will definitly get your problem solved .
    some mpeople ar still there who answeres hopeless questions and say nothing about them but when a fresher askin a qustion is not tolarated by them they think everyone is born DBA here
    they always tend to discouraging people here on forums,and i think they are vvolunteers to reduce crowd here on forums, inspite of there experience and people respect them they can not control their anger
    so please post you tns here, i think there are ways to ask people to google and search docs first, but not like this
    thanks and regards

    Edited by: 1001322 on Apr 20, 2013 7:23 AMIn addition to the other comments, you need to make the distinction between the oracle database and the oracle client.
    the application interacts directly with the oracle client software. The application should not know or care about the word length of the database.

  • Problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with Oracle 11g(32 bit) installation on windows 7 ultimate edition (32 bit).
    I have successfully installed it immediately after OS installation. But today, i have decided to deinstall it and go for Oracle 10g version for 32 bit.
    Everything went normal during installation, but i can see the services is not present in services.msc. Also its throwing some exception for dbca, netca
    Now i tried to deinstall it and again go for 11g. But even the same story here..
    Can anybody give me a solution for this..
    -Regards

    install fresh windows 7.

    SaqibNo need to install a fresh OS. That's like tearing your house down just because you wired a lamp wrong and blew a circuit breaker.
    There are MeaLink notes on how to eradicate an Oracle install from Windows, but it boils down to this:
    Stop all Oracle services
    In the registery:
    - Delete all oracle services from the register (HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet
    - Delete the entire Oralce folder from HKLM\Software
    reboot
    Delete the ORACLE_HOME directory and any other Oracle related directories/files. Offhand, it seems like there is an Oracle directory under Program Files.
    reboot

  • Attention! About problems with Oracle 8.1.6 on newer Linux distributions!!

    Hello all, I've just got some feedback from a helful person at http://www.crunge.com/ about the problems concerning RedHat Linux 7.0 and Oracle 8.1.6, this MAY apply to other newer linux distributions.
    I've tried, without luck, to install Oracle on RedHat 7.0 and Slackware 7 (the newest one), and it would not install properly, kept stopping right about when the database initialization started at 80% finished install procedure. Sp i wrote them a mail, not expecting an answer really, but I did got an answer, and below is what the person said;
    Thanks for the feedback.
    Oracle 8.1.6 does not work under Red Hat Linux 7. Yes, that's the problem
    that I mentioned in the doc--you get to 80% and the DBCA crashes and the
    Oracle executables die.
    I've heard, but I haven't tried it myself, that if you install the latest
    glibc errata (2.1.94) then the DBCA completes but the Oracle executables
    still die. The DBCA problem was apparently a Java issue that is fixed in
    the errata. But you're still out of luck since the exes won't work.
    It might appear that this is a problem with Red Hat Linux 7. But it appears
    that it is a problem with some assumptions that Oracle made, assumptions
    that worked with glibc 2.1.3 (the C library included with RHL 6.2) but which
    prove false with later glibc versions. As other Linux distributions adopt
    the new glibc Oracle will fail to work on them as well.
    The best advice I can give at this point is to install and run Oracle on
    Red Hat Linux 6.2. Hopefully Oracle will address the glibc issues with the
    8.1.7 release.
    Chris
    p.s. Do not construe this
    as an official Red Hat response; I merely forwarded your e-mail from my
    home account. This response and the web pages I put up are mine.
    So i guess one sollution to the problem is to try a bit older version of the linux you are having problems with (i tried it on RH 6.1 and it worked like a dream).
    Another solution can be to wait it out to check and see if Oracle put a fix out here on technet...?
    Hope this helps people bogged down in fustration.

    Hey all. Just to let you know that it is entierly possible to get Oracle to install under RedHat 7 and run happily. I have done it on two differenct machines. There is a bit of fooling with glibc to get it to work. However after you do that it works like a dream. VALinux has a work around posted at: http://ftp.valinux.com/pub/support/hjl/glibc/sdk/2.1/
    The READEME.Oracle8i has the work around and the two tar balls are the necessary files. I followed the directions to the letter and they worked like a dream. Any questions feel free to drop me a line.
    Cheers,

    OK, so i followed your instructions to the letter (several times), sure I get past the 80% bug but now I have new erros coming up , -"Error in invoking target install of makefile /usr/oracle/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk". I get a whole series of these errors for various mk files. These errors apear during the link phase of the install, prior to the glibc workaround I was not getting this. I am a newbie to Linux and trying to give it a serious go but so far I have had little luck
    Any help appreciated.

  • Connection problem to Oracle 11.1.0 on Windows Professional XP (SP2)

    Hello
    I've recently performed default installations for 3 Oracle Databases, into seperate homes on a newly formatted Windows
    Professional XP (SP2) standalone laptop. For all databases Oracle 10.2.0 (rover), Oracle XE (xe) and Oracle 11.1.0 (fido) I
    installed APEX and they worked perfectly.
    I then installed my Wireless O2 Broadband for my internet which uses DHCP
    I am unable to connect to my databases with the wireless broadband connected. I then bring down all databases and turn
    off/disable the Broadband,then restart all databases.
    Using commands
    Set ORACLE_SID=ROVER
    sqlplus system/rover@rover
    Set ORACLE_SID=XE
    sqlplus system/xe@xe
    Set ORACLE_SID=FIDO
    sqlplus system/fido@fido
    Connections are successfull apart from the Oracle 11.1.0 (fido) database with error
    ERROR:

    In this example, the checkbox is used to select the records. On clicking
    the update button, the pl/sql procedure is called which will update col1 to
    the string 'OK'.
    After the update is done, the PL/SQL procedure calls the report again.
    Since the report only select records where col1 is null, the updated
    records will not be displayed when the report is called again.
    Step 1 - Create Table
    From Sqlplus, log in as scott/tiger and execute the following:
    drop table chkbox_example;
    create table chkbox_example
    (id varchar2(10) not null,
    comments varchar2(20),
    col1 varchar2(10));
    Step 2 - Insert Test Data
    From Sqlplus, still logged in as scott/tiger , execute the following:
    declare
    l_i number;
    begin
    for l_i in 1..50 loop
    insert into chkbox_example values (l_i, 'Comments ' || l_i , NULL);
    end loop;
    commit;
    end;
    Step 3 -Create SQL Query based WEBDB report
    Logon to a WEBDB site which has access to the database the above tables are created.
    Create a SQL based Report.
    Name the report :RPT_CHKBOX
    The select statement for the report is :
    select c.id, c.comments, c.col1,
    htf.formcheckbox('p_qty',c.id) Tick
    from SCOTT.chkbox_example c
    where c.col1 is null
    In Advanced PL/SQL, (REPORT, Before displaying the form), put the following code
    htp.formOpen('scott.chkbox_process');
    htp.formsubmit('p_request','Update');
    htp.br;
    htp.br;
    Step 4 - Create a stored procedure in the database
    Log on to the database as scott/tiger and execute the following to create the
    procedure.
    Note: Replace WEBDB to the appropriate webdb user for your installation.
    In my database, I had installed webdb using WEBDB username, hence user webdb owns
    the packages.
    create or replace procedure chkbox_process
    ( p_request in varchar2 default null,
    p_qty in wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr ,
    p_arg_names in wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr ,
    p_arg_values in wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr
    is
    i number;
    begin
    for i in 1..p_qty.count loop
    if p_qty(i) is not null then
    begin
    update chkbox_example
    set col1 = 'OK'
    where chkbox_example.id = p_qty(i);
    end;
    end if;
    end loop;
    commit;
    /* To Call Report again after updating */
    SCOTT.RPT_CHKBOX.show
    (p_request=>'Run Report',
    p_arg_names=>webdb.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(' '),
    p_arg_values=>webdb.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(' '));
    end;
    Summary
    There are essentially 2 main modules, The WEBDB report and the pl/sql procedure (chkbox_process)
    A button is created via the advanced pl/sql coding which shows on top of the report. (The
    button cannot be placed at the bottom of the report due to the way WEBDB creates the procedure
    internally)
    When any button is clicked on the report, it calls the pl/sql procedure chkbox_process.
    The procedure is called , WEBDB always passes the parameters p_request,p_arg_names and o_arg_values.
    p_qty is another parameter that we are passing additionally, This comes from the checkbox created
    using the htf.formcheckbox in the report select statement.
    The pl/sql procedure calls the report again after processing. This is done to
    show how to call the report.
    Restrictions:
    -The Next and Prev buttons on the report will not work.
    So it is important that the report can fit in 1 page only.
    (This may mean that you will not select(not ticked) 'Paginate' under
    'Display Option' in the WEBDB report. If you do this,
    then in Step 4, remove p_arg_names and p_arg_values as input parameters
    to the chkbox_process)

    If your not so sure you can use the instanceof
    insurance,
    Object o = evt.getSource();
    if (o instanceof Button) {
    Button source = (Button) o;
    I haven't thoroughly read the thread, but I use something like this:if (evt.getSource() == someObjRef) {
        // do that voodoo
    ]I haven't looked into why you'd be creating a new reference...
