Installation of 9iAS 1.0.2 along with 8.1.7

Question

Dear All,
Can any one tell me what are the steps to install the 9iAS in a single machine with 8.1.7 (Oracle 8i Release 3) database.
I have installed with 817 in orahome81 and then 9iAS at iSuites home. But it gave an error while starting the HTTP Server. Please Suggest me the sequence of steps for acheiving the same .
Thanks to u all in advance.

For a single NT machine, you probably want to install the minimal edition of 9iAS.
Starting with version 8.1.7.0 already installed, The following steps worked
for me installing 9iAS 1.0.2.2 minimal edition:
1. Apply Patchset 1711240 to update your database to 8.1.7.1. Notice that this
patch is listed under Server version 8.1.7.1 on the search page on Metalink.
Important: The last step in installing the patch is to run the utlrp.sql script
to compile invalid objects. However, one trigger under SYS schema will remain
uncompiled. Compile it manually before continuing: JIS$ROLE_TRIGGER$
Note: Four other package bodies under my SYS schema remained uncompiled as well.
However, this didn't affect the rest of the installation:
. DBMS_ASYNCRPC_PUSH
. DBMS_DEFER_INTERNAL_SYS
. DBMS_DEFER_SYS_PART1
. DBMS_IAS_MT_INST
2. You can now apply patch 1887405 to update your database to 8.1.7.5. This is
simple but you can still continue with the installation if you don't apply it.
3. Important: remove the 8i http server from the 8.1.7 home. I used the oracle installer.
4. Important: remove the Apache directory completely from your 8.1.7 database.
5. Edit your init.ora file and increase the large_pool_size parameter as follows:
large_pool_size = 31457280
Note: everything else in my init.ora was default. This is the only parameter changed.
6. Increase your SYSTEM and USERS tablespaces. After installation, my SYSTEM
tablespace increased by 265 MB, and my USERS tablespace increased by 200 MB.
So you need to add at least that much.
7. Important: check the file regsvr32.exe under WINNT\SYSTEM32 in Windows Explorer:
Remove the Read-Only attribute if present.
Note: I didn't have to do this step when I installed under NT Service Pack 5.
I had to do it under NT Service Pack 6.
8. Optional:
Add TNS_ADMIN variable to your environment in Control Panel to point to your 8.1.7
TNSNAMES.ORA file, e.g.: TNS_ADMIN=D:\oracle\ora81\network\ADMIN
9. Note: Make sure you have enough space on the disk where your system TEMP directory
is located. I didn't measure this but I believe you should have at least 500 MB.
10. You might want to change all services to manual, except for OracleServiceORCL
and OracleOraHome81TNSListener. You can stop all services before starting 9iAS
installation. Since the installation process will reboot your machine, the above
mentioned two services will then start after reboot. This is important since the
installation process will need to login to your 8.1.7 database to install the Portal.
11. Start the installation. When the installer prompts you for the name of your
Portal schema (default portal30) it asks for your TNS string for your database.
Notice that you must enter this as: server_name.domain:port:SID. The port is the
database port (e.g. 1521). Notice that if you are installing the minimum edition,
you do not have to change this port before the installation.
That should do it. The install should take about one hour for iAS, and between two and
three hours for the portal.
Amine.
