Installing Only 1 client in SAP 4.7

can i install only one client (say for ex 000) with SAP 4.7 IDES and oracle,
(default installation installs all the clients I dont want to have all the clients because of 2 reasons
1)  i want to work on ABAP & BASIS
2.) Low Disk Space
Please advice

Hi Mohd,
Since you are performing IDES 4.7E, there will sample data (client specific, transactional) in those client.
Thru installation it is not possible to restrict clients, you can perform a client delete after installation. This will free us your hard disk space only.
If your usage is limited for only ABAP and BASIS work, I would suggest you to perform a standard installation instead of IDES. Here you will only get those 3 default client with no application data in it.
Be aware that SAP recommends to create a seperate client with a copy of 000 and avoid 000 or 001 usage.
Regards,
Nilesh

  • How To Install Only DAC Client 10.1.3.4.1 on Windows Client Machine

    Hi,
    I want to install ONLY the DAC 10.1.3.4.1 client on my Windows client machine.
    However, when I launch the Oracle Universal Installer the install options are greyed out and I'm forced to install both the Client and Server products.
    I don't want to do this.
    Please suggest me how do I go about this issue.
    Thanks.

    In version 7.9.5.1 the instructions say to:
    You must satisfy the following requirements on the machine on which you want to
    install an additional DAC Client:
    ■ JDK 1.5 or higher must be installed. For more information, see Section 4.3.4.5,
    "Download and Install the Java JDK".
    ■ The appropriate ODBC database connection must be created on the machine. For
    more information, see Section 4.3.4.3, "Create ODBC Database Connections".
    ■ Download the Hibernate files from the Hibernate Web site. For more information,
    see Section 4.3.4.6, "Download Hibernate Libraries".
    To install an additional instance of the DAC Client on Windows
    1. Copy the \OracleBI\DAC\ directory and its subfolders from the Oracle BI
    Applications installation (on Windows) to the target Windows machine (for
    example, to a directory called \DAC\).
    2. Copy the \OracleBI\dwrep\ directory and its subfolders from the Oracle BI
    Applications installation (on Windows) to the target Windows machine.
    Note: Alternatively, if the target machine already has Oracle Business Intelligence
    Enterprise Edition installed, you can run the Oracle BI Applications installer on the
    target machine to install the DAC Client. For information about how to run the Oracle
    BI Applications installer, see Section 4.4, "Running the Oracle BI Applications Installer
    on Windows."
    I haven't attempted this with the 7.9.6 version yet. Nor have I reviewed the documentation to see if it is mentioned as an alternative.

    Why two primary that is 'coz geographically based server support and workstation. You can think it as a data center to data center split.
    That doesn't make sense and aren't valid reasons for 2012 (not that you can necessarily change it now).
    This line jumps out at me in the log file though: "An MP exists on this machine".
    That looks like the system you are installing on previously had an MP on it. I would delete the ccm namespace in WMI, cleanup all reference to ccm and Configuratin Manager from the registry, and then try again.

  • Installing addons on client

    Hi Experts!
    I have  a problem with installing addons on clients.
    I registrated a new version of addon under Admin/Addons/Addon adminisration ,of course firstly I have unregistered this one.
    After adding the new .ard and .exe files the installation is successful on server machine, but first time I log into SAP on client machine , nothing has happen.No error message , the installation doesnt start.
    Where Automatic installation is setup there of course I got the error message about wrong digital signature...
    The only solution is deleting the two .sbo files under C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\.
    But at this moment I have 10 client machines and 3 addons,so every time when new version should be installed it would take 4 hours to get ready with client installations and of course my client would like to work..
    Please help me how to solve it or what to do to avoid this problems next time,next new client!
    Thank you in advance!!

    Hi,
    This problem usually is caused by unmatching id in the table SARI in the SBO-Common database. Make sure you have uninstall the addon and delete your add-on folder in the C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Addons. Then, run SQL Server Management  Studio and open the table SARI in the SBO-COMMON database. Find if there is any old entry of your add-on. (If your add-on was uninstalled correctly, you should not see any entry related to that add-on). If you see an entry related, delete it.
    Then, try to install the add-on again.
    Regards,
    Zul

  • Oracle Client for SAP NetWeaver 7

    I am pretty new in this area and wondering whether a new installation of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Central Instance on Linux needs Oracle RDBMS 10g Client from SAP or it can be obtained from Oracle (Instantclient)?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The instantclient from Oracle and from SAP are the same (note, only the instantclient, 10g, no other previous oracle client version)

    If you do not have the file OCL10264.SAR, then you can download the file from SAP, no need to download it from Oracle (why that need of downloading from Oracle?)
    You can take a look at your installation CDs, the file is also located there. No need to download it from anywhere.
    Recommendation, unless for an explicity reason (like a note indicating it or a message with the same indication) do not download/install anything that is not available in an SAP website

  • Is it possible to have 64-bit 11g Full Install and 32-Client on 1 computer?

    Here's why I ask:
    I have installed a full 64-bit 11g R2 install on my Windows 7 D: drive, installed two DB's, worked great. Then I realized application I need to support (Cognos 10.1) requires 32-bit client (for drivers) so I installed the 11g client also on D: drive as well (for space reasons).
    My problem is that my registry only shows one ORACLE_HOME--the 64-bit full install whereas Cognos reqs to point to 32-bit client.
    My sqlplus in the 64-bit OH worked fine (D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) whereas the 32-bit client sqlplus (D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) did not work. The error was:

If I opened a cmd prompt and navigated to the 32-bit sqlplus under the client this WOULD work to login (but then I noticed it was using the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME and PATH settings if I typed set). In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 to
    ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1
    PATH = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\
    Guess what? This stopped both the 64-bit and 32-bit sqlplus from working, even after bouncing the computer. Now the listener (64-bit) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener will also not start either.
    Sooooo, I think I need to set the OH and PATH back to the 64-bit as that is what the Listener requires but any ideas how to get the 32-bit sqlplus to also work?!? The Cognos application appears to use the default server settings (most likely from ORACLE_HOME and Path) and in it I just type the name of the database and connection string, there's no real way to point it anywhere to differentiate. If it doesn't find 32-bit drivers it throws an error hence the reason I need the client sqlplus, etc to work.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • LaserJet 2550n network printer on XP host PC, can't install Windows 7 client laptop

    Have Color LaserJet 2550n network printer connected to XP host PC. I can't install  Windows 7 client laptop for printer. The wireless network is fine, I can access documents back and forth, merely the printer doesn't work and there's no way to download 64bit drivers for this printer from HP. 

    Resolved, not solved. 
    I talked to HP product support. The Officejet Pro 8500 A910 will not install on Windows XP (at least the Home Edition) when networked through a router. It will install through USB. I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it with only USB connected to clean out all the network printer/scanner information. Product support claimed it would install through an ether net cable connected between the printer and computer but this does little good if you need internet access.

    Q: I am familiar with SQL Server's .NET data provider, but am new to Oracle. Is it easy to learn to use ODP.NET?
    A: Yes. ODP.NET inherits from all the ADO.NET base classes, which is what SQL Server's .NET data provider, SqlClient, is based upon. The ADO.NET constructors, methods, and properties that you use with SQL Server will be the same with Oracle. For many applications, the only notable differences will be having all objects that were preceded with "Sql", such as SqlConnection, be preceded by "Oracle", such as OracleConnection, and accounting for differences between Oracle and SQL Server database data types, SQL, and stored procedure calls.
    Q: What are the different ways Oracle integrates with Microsoft .NET?
    A: Oracle integrates with .NET in a number of ways. For optimized .NET data access, ODP.NET enables access to all of the Oracle database's advanced features, such as RAC and XML DB, while ensuring the fastest performance from the .NET Framework.
    For .NET development tools that make Oracle easier to use, the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio .NET provide wizards and designers that auto-generate ODP.NET code and can browse and edit schemas and stored procedures. Additionally, it includes a Data Window to modify and view data and context-sensitive help.
    Beginning with Oracle Database 10g Release 2, developers can build and deploy .NET stored procedures for their Oracle database.
    For application integration, web services can facilitate integration between your existing Oracle and .NET applications.
    Q: Where can I find ODP.NET help and sample code?
    A: ODP.NET documentation is available from within Visual Studio .NET using Dynamic Help. Just hit the F1 key when your cursor is on an ODP.NET API and a help page for that API will appear right within Visual Studio .NET.
    Additional ODP.NET documentation is available both locally installed and from the ODP.NET documentation page.
    Sample code can be found both locally as part of the ODP.NET installation (e.g. c:\oracle\<Oracle Home Name>\ODP.NET\samples) and on ODP.NET samples page.
    ODP.NET users can ask questions on the ODP.NET discussion forum.
    Q: I have ODP.NET installed, but I can't find the ODP.NET Dynamic Help. Where is it?
    A: This behavior sometimes occurs when installing new Visual Studio .NET versions over an ODP.NET installation. To enable ODP.NET Dynamic Help, go to Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection Manager located in Visual Studio .NET 2002 or Visual Studio .NET 2003. Make sure the box next to the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Help is checked and click on the Update VSCC button. Close Visual Studio .NET and re-open it to enable ODP.NET Dynamic Help.
    Note: Because of security restrictions, you may need to copy and paste the links above to a browser, rather than clicking on them. Once copied to a local browser, if you have a Windows service pack that prevents active content (e.g. Windows XP service pack 2), you will need to allow active content to view the complete page. To do this, click on the yellow bar at the top of the Visual Studio .NET Combined Help Collection Manager page, which indicates active content has been blocked. Select "Allow Blocked Content". A security warning will show up. Click "Yes" and you will be able to view the page in its entirety, including having the option to incorporate the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Help into Visual Studio .NET.
    Q: What are the new features in this version of ODP.NET?
    A:
    ODP.NET 10.2.0.1.0
    Server-side ODP.NET for .NET stored procedures
    RAC client-side connection load balancing and automatic connection cleanup
    Database Change Notification
    LOB and LONG retrieval - faster data retrieval, InitialLOBFetchSize can be up to 2GB, and full LOB functionality when InitialLOBFetchSize > 0 (i.e. GetOracleClob and GetOracleBlob methods are enabled). These same features are now enabled with LONGs with its respective APIs.
    Connection Pool Management - explicitly clear connection pool(s)
    Client Identifier property for supporting application context security, such as with VPD
    Input REF Cursor parameters
    ODP.NET 10.1.0.3.0
    Statement caching
    DeriveParameters - automatic population of stored procedure parameters
    Cancel long running queries
    ADO.Net 1.1 interfaces - HasRows and EnlistDistributedTransaction properties
    LOB and LONG retrieval - Entire LOB and LONG column data can be retrieved even if the select list does not contain a primary key, ROWID, or unique key.
    ODP.NET 10.1.0.2.0
    Grid support
    Schema-based XMLType
    BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE datatypes

    ODP.NET 9.2.0.4.01
    Improved XML DB and XMLType support
    PL/SQL associative arrays
    connection pool validation
    InitialLOBFetchSize property to improve LOB retrieval performance
    Q: How do I make a feature enhancement request for ODP.NET?
    A: You can contact Oracle Support or use the ODP.NET discussion forum to make an enhancement request.
    Q: What features will ODP.NET support in future releases?
    A: In general, Oracle does not discuss features in future product releases until the release date nears. We are well aware of enhancement requests made through the ODP.NET discussion forum and Oracle support. We encourage Oracle users to continue to make their requests known. Oracle will do its best to fulfill these requests in future releases.
    Q: Do I need to install ODP.NET on my Oracle database server?
    A: No. You only need to install ODP.NET for running client or middle-tier .NET applications. The exception is if you are using .NET stored procedures in the database server. The server-side ODP.NET provider will automatically be installed with the Oracle Database Extensions for .NET.
    Q: Can ODP.NET work with Oracle8, Oracle8i, Oracle9i, and Oracle10g database (DB) servers? Can these DB servers be on Linux or Unix?
    A: Yes and yes. Oracle clients can support older and newer versions of the Oracle database. Consult the Oracle on Windows FAQ for more information.
    Oracle clients on Windows can work with Oracle database servers on any platform.
    Q: Can ODP.NET be used with an Oracle8, Oracle8i, or Oracle9i Release 1 client?
    A: No. You need to use the Oracle9i Release 2 or higher client.
    Q: What do I need to have installed on my client machine to have ODP.NET work?
    What needs to be on a client machine when running an application compiled with the 10g ODP.NET?
    The FAQ states the following :-
    A: You will require the following:
    Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, or Windows Server 2003
    Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 or higher
    Oracle9i Client Release 2 (9.2) or higher
    Oracle Net Services (included with the client)
    Oracle Services for Microsoft Transaction Server, Release 2 (9.2) or higher. This is required for applications using distributed transacations.
    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    I'd be very grateful for anyone who can clear up my confusion.
    Mick

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • Want to use only DAC client on Windows machine

    Hi,
    I want to use only DAC client from my windows machine. I have all other components on UNIX machine. Now my question is,
    1.
    Do we need to install all OBIEE components & then Oracle BI Apps on windows machine to use DAC client? Or just copying DAC folder from some different windows machine onto my machine will be fine to use DAC client?
    2. If it is must to install OBIEE for installaing Oracle BI Apps(As DAC is part of BI Apps), What are the minimum components of OBIEE that i need to install?
    Thanks,
    Prasad

    The supported way to do this is to install everything on Windows. However as you have see by installing the software on UNIX the file copy approach works. You can try it just make sure you have the proper path of folders. Since you will not actually have BI EE installed you still have to create an "OracleBI" folder because some DAC files look to that folder hierarchy. Also make sure you have the Java in path with no spaces.
    Let us know how it works out.

  • Remove the updates Installed to the client from WSUS SERVER

    WSUS Server running on the Windows Server 2008 R2. Is there a way to get rid of updates that have been pushed out and installed on all client computers? because currently I am running out of disk space and I really don't want to increase the disk space
    further more.
    I tried the Server Cleanup Wizard but it didn't help much as it only cleans out unnecessary and declined updates.

    Hi,
    On current situation, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
    What
    to do when your WSUSContent folder grows too large
    Based on your description, I understand that you know which updates had been installed. In other words, you
    know which updates will never be used. In WSUS server, please navigate to those updates and right click them, then select
    Decline. (Please note: if have downstream replica servers,
    please don’t Decline these updates directly). Then please run the Server Cleanup Wizard again and monitor the result. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    In addition, this issue seems to be more related to WSUS configuration. As Dave suggested, posting this question
    in
    WSUS Forum will be better. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Failed to install Cisco VPN client 5.0.07.0440 on win 7 64bit [Error 1722]

    Hi Gurus,when I tried to install Cisco VPN Client 5.0.07.0440 on Win 7 64bit, the system would pop up an Error 1722( Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.) at the last stage of copying files. Then it would roll back .
    I had tried to clean the temp files, restart windows installer services, and also re-register the MSIEXEC file. However, it would still pop up the error during the installation. For our company, it is a common issue. So, could you please offer me some advice on this?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I had checked the software again and found out.
    1. The MSI installer package is fine, because I can install the software on another PC.
    2. It is not like that, because I can start the installation procedure and run it smoothly until on the 88% of copying files.
    For now, I had only found this issue on one PC.
    Thanks.

  • Problems Installing Oracle 9i Client

    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).

    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.

    The solution of making a local copy of the installation CD on
    the hard disk and renameing symcjit.dll to symcjit.old does
    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.
