Insufficient privs to install OWB as SYSTEM??

When I try to install this OWB in Windows XP with a version 10? DB I am trying to create the first user and install the repos. I get an error as SYSYEM, insufficient privs to run script ....grantpriv.sql
This means SYSTEM does not have sufficient privs...and it tells me does not have SYSDBA privs

To solve this I eventually connected to SqlPlus as SYS and granted SYSDBA to SYSTEM...and now the install has gone thru.....Yeah!!

  • Error while installing OWB

    Error while installing OWB
    after 50% install.. it says
    "Error in writing to file c:\oracle\ora9201\bin\oci.dll
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"
    Apparently I have restarted the workstation and closed all oracle related services in services and no other program is running expect the installer.
    Can any one help in resolving the issue. Or can I hit the ignore button and continue installing?

    Always install OWB into a new ORACLE_HOME unless the Installation and Configuration Guide states otherwise. This has only happened twice. OWB 9.0.2.62.3 was the last version to allow installation into an existing ORACLE_HOME. Another thing you can do is go to www.sysinternals.com and download the utility LISTDLLs. It is great. From a command prompt, start it with the syntax: listdlls >log.txt
    This will output the DLLs in use and which executable is using it. Search for the DLL in the log.txt and scroll up until the double line. The executable name locking the DLL will be above the double line. If you have the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator Service running on the client, it will lock Oracle DLLs. This has been a common issue in the past, going back to the days of Data Mart Suite. This was documented in the Release Notes for it and may still be in the system in a note somewhere. It is in: DMS: Unable To Install; Filesopen/Service Running On Compaq Server Doc ID: Note:1080977.6 and Certain Files which need to be Reinstalled are Being Used Doc ID: Note:117672.1
    The first note I wrote back before 2000.

  • Installing OWB 10.2.0.1 Unable to start Repository Assistant  in XP

    I've just installed OWB 10.2.0.1 on am XP machine with Oracle 10G running. I've used a different home as recommended. The application will not respond at all. I can't get the Repository Assistant to work among other issues. I just finished the install. I've done no other configuration. What do I still need to do?

    I've had the same problem:
    On windows XP pro, 32 bit
    - Installed 9.2.0.1 Server
    - Installed 9.2.0.6 Patch
    - Installed Oracle Worflow + and created workflow user
    - Installed OWB_10.2.0.1.win.zip
    All seemed to be fine until attempting to create the OWB repository owner.
    The first problem is the same as mentioned above. The issue relates to the view dba_kgllock which was forced created against objects that do not exist. To solve this I used TOAD to find the script used to create the view, deleted the view and created an empty table with the same columns.
    This is a complete HACK but allowed OWB Repository Assistant. All then continued and was looking good until about 60% complete and then the system fails with a socket read fail within java.
    Thats it, I've stopped dead now, going to continue installation attempts in the morning

  • Oracle DB prerequisites for installing OWB?

    Hi,
    I am planning to install OWB for a prototype project for a client.
    But I wanted to make sure that whatever I do now can be repeated at the time of the actual project too. For other things, I see no problem, but installation remains one.
    I need to install Oracle 10g first and then OWB in case of the prototype. But later I will find Oracle DB already in place and just OWB has to be installed.
    Is someone aware of the steps required to set up Oracle DB if it has to support OWB later on. Can someone please suggest me the proper way to set up Oracle DB first and then OWB?
    I am concerned because in the I have seen OWB installations failing when they were done at an existing Oracle DB setup. (may be some Init parameters were required to be set before OWB is installed)
    Also, is anyone aware of some typical problems that we face while working on Red Hat linux?
    thanks

    Hi Ron,
    Good questions..You have a number of options here and it depends how you want to manage your repository in terms of different environments (dev, test, training etc). In terms of users I would recommend creating a repository owner (in effect the DBA of the repository) and then create additional users for each person in your team. These other users can then connect to the repository and create new projects, design objects and deploy objects as required. By creating new users you can create a security layer within the system to prevent certain team members from deploying objects to specific database instances.
    There are a number of options for managing versioning within OWB. There is a demo viewlet on the OWB website that explains the basic concepts, although it relates to OWB 10gR1.
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/OTN_viewlet.html
    Version management in OWB
    With OWB 10gR2 a few things have changed. However, the simplest configuration is to have one design repository and multiple target instances, each with their own OWB repository installation. For the Target schemas, the installation of the OWB repository is used simply to run the control centre as this is required to manage and record the deployment of objects into the various target schemas. You can then create different configurations in your design repository to control the different characteristics of each target instance (use of tablespaces, enabling/disabling parallel features etc).
    The flaw with this simple approach is that you have no version control within the design repository. If you make changes to the design repository objects after you have deployed them to a specific schema there is no ability to recreate the target schema if something happens because the design repository has been updated. Therefore, depending on how you want to manage you target schemas in relation to the design repository you may want to create multiple design repositories to support each target schema (dev, test, qa, training, prod etc). Then to update a schema you would export your project from the design repository and import it into the target repository and then deploy the new design to the required schema. This type of approach does provide additional levels security allowing you greater control over access to each target schema.
    I thought there was some documentation being developed by the product management team but I have not seen it yet. I hope this helps, if not ping me again.

  • ORA-01031: Insufficient Privs with svrmgrl or DBA Studio. Didnt always happen!

    Hi,
    I'm running Oracle 816 EE on Win2k. All of a sudden, when I log in as svrmgrl and issue: connect internal, I get prompted for a password. I never had to enter a password before! Also, when logging into DBA Studio as system/manager with SYSBDA privs, I get ORA-01031 Insufficient Privs. I never got that error before. I used to be able to log in to DBA Studio and start/shutdown the DB just fine, but now I'm getting locked out for some reason. Aside from recreating a user schema from time to time, I didnt change any system-related info in the DB. Help!
    Rupal

    check these things -
    1) a full import of a database with remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive can cause this problem.
    2) Check your sqlnet.ora file for SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES parameter. Try setting this to (NONE), if that doesn't work, try setting it to (NTS), and if that doesn't work, try commenting it out. A corrupted "sqlnet.ora" file, or one with security options set, will cause a 'connect internal' request to prompt for a password.
    3) Also be sure you have AUTOMATIC_IPC=OFF in the file.
    hope this helps

    The error looks like it is not finding some stuff on the machine in order to execute the script. Is your home and directory according to the setup documents??

  • How can I install on a system w/RAID?

    I know now that Boot Camp will not install on a system with RAID (in my case mirrored drives). THis is a major bummer as I need to run an engineering program and it only operates in Windows. So I either stick to my less than optimal laptop or I figure a way to use the power of my desktop.
    So any suggestions? Can I somehow use an external drive and install boot camp and WinXP there? What if I converted one set of mirrored drives to two separate drives (with an external backup system) and leave one set of mirrored drives (I have two sets of mirrored drives) and install boot camp there? Am I talking about a complete redo of my system?
    I need a straight forward solution (and no I don't want to buy a PC to run the software). Also the engineering software will not run in Parallels - it needs full access to the Video system (in my case a Quadro FX4500).
    THanks for any suggestions.

    It isn't a problem. I assume also that you don't have the Apple Pro RAID card, and that you have one drive bay that you can install Windows.
    All you need to do is open Disk Utility, format a internal SATA drive as MBR and then create one or more FAT partitions. You can change FAT to NTFS later.
    Then choose the OS of your choice (XP Pro x64 drivers aren't included or well supported, so I'd go with Vista x64 Business or Ultimate SP1).
    No external booting. At least not without a bootable PCIe controller. There are RocketRAID cards that do support RAID in Windows but haven't tried creating bootable Windows. Maybe next week.
    With a new raw unformatted drive, all you have to do is boot from Windows and select the drive.
    You can also use the ODD ports to use for OS X for two of your drives because Windows can't see or use them.

  • How can i re-install the operating system without deleting my files on the computer

    I'm Trying to re-install the operating system on my macbook, and i dont know, if i can only re-install the OS without deleting the Data on the computer.

    If the Snow Leopard version on your Snow Leopard DVD is lower than the Snow Leopard version on your computer, you will NOT in any case be able to re-install the OS the way you want it. You will only be able to erase your disk and then reinstall the OS.
    It will only "upgrade" and keep your files if the Mac OS X version of your Snow Leopard DVD is newer than the Snow Leopard version on your computer.

  • Installing Multiple Operating Systems with grub and Arch Linux

    NOTE: Please keep in mind that there are many different ways to achieve this same result using various loop and ramdisk methods, read this with a separate window to jot down your comments and suggestions... this is ongoing for me so any help would be appreciated!
    Read the full article at Install Multiple Os without cds
    This is my first post and I plan on making this topic an official HOWTO with www.tldp.org.
    I have been into the computer security scene since 1990, but I realized that I had very little experience with the various LInux, Unix, and alternative Operating systems out there.
    I have a CD-RW drive but being a struggling computer security researcher I had no money for blank cd-recordables.  What follows is how I managed to install various operating systems on my computer (1 hard drive) without having to burn to a CD the ISO and then boot from that.
    I first partitioned my 120GB harddrive into 10 partitions, the 2nd partition is a small swap and the last partition is extra large because it holds all the ISO images..
    I then wrote a small shell script to automatically download (I love wget!)  the following.
    OpenBSD
    IpCOP
    Libranet
    Arch-Linux
    Fire
    Local Area Security
    Packet Master
    Devil-Linux
    FreeBSD
    Knoppix
    Helix
    Gentoo
    Yoper-Linux
    NetBSD
    RedHat
    Slackware
    The script also downloaded Installation manuals and md5 checksums.. (let me know if I should post... its pretty unsophisticated
    I installed Slackware (personal favorite) on hda1 using my last blank CD-R, note that I do not have a separate boot partitino.  (Should I?).  I also installed grub on the MBR.  I love grub, if you read through the man pages and all info you can find about grub, you can learn a whole lot.  Grub has much more features and capability than lilo, even though lilo comes installed by default with slack.
    I organize my kernel situation as follows...  In my /boot directory, I mkdir KERNEL, CONFIG, MAP, INITRD and that is a good way for me to keep my kernels and everything organized..  Another good way is a separate dir for each new kernel. 
    Since Arch-Linux is a solid distro, I'll use that as a first example.
    Here is the Arch-Linux section of my shell script
    goge Arch-Linux
    $w http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/archlinux/arch-0.6.iso
    $w http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/archlinux/arch-0.6.md5sum
    $w http://www.archlinux.org/docs/en/guide/install/arch-install-guide.html
    md55
    cat arch-0.6.md5sum
    md5sum arch-0.6.iso
    md55
    The first thing to do is to mount the downloaded ISO image so we can use it as if it were an actual CD.
    mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 cdimage /mnt/cdrom
    Where cdimage= the ISO image.   EX. /usr/local/src/ISO/Linux/Arch-Linux/arch-0.6.iso
    This mounts the iso as /mnt/cdrom.
    Next you need to copy /mnt/cdrom to a separate partition for the booting process.  So mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda9.  ( I prefer reiserfs or even XFS to ext but if you use something other than ext2 you could run into some problems because some of the installation kernels and initrds don't include support for reiserfs and so can't recognize the files.  Although you could use mkinitrd to create a new initrd with reiserfs support, that might be pushin it IMO...   I use the 9th partition consistently for this.  I know there is a "right" way to copy the /mnt/cdrom files so everything stays the way it is supposed too, using tar or cpio, but I'm lazy so I just do cp -rp.   
    (What is the tar or cpio commands to copy with correct permissions etc??)
    So you mount the 9th partition as whatever, say /mnt/hd and then copy the files.  Now what?
    Now edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to include the specific options to boot arch-linux installation. 
    A good idea is to find the isolinux.cfg file somewhere on the distro cd, this will tell you what to include in the menu.lst.
    Here is the section in my menu.lst
    title Arch Install
    root (hd0,8)
    kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 root=/dev/rd/0
    initrd=/isolinux/initrd.img
    This should be self-explanatory.  The root (hd0,8) is pointing to partition 9.  So the rest of the commands start from partition 9. 
    When you experience problems, remember you can always edit the grub boot options by typing 'e' and then edit the section.  Also, a good idea is to include several variations in your menu.lst so you can easily try other ways to boot efficiently.  And, remember to read up on all the installation guides that come with your distro, specifically, hard-disk installs. 
    There are special cases, Gentoo, has a semi-new compressed filesystem called squashfs.  BTW, this is AWESOME, so check it out.  It has to be compiled into the kernel, so some work is in order, but use this recompile to optimize your kernel.  You can get the squashfs patch for almost any kernel.  I use the latest stable 2.6 kernel.  Squashfs is incredible and although I don't think you need it to install from ISO, you do need it to expand the livecd.squashfs filesystem that comes with the cd.
    Heres a sample Gentoo section from my menu.lst
    title Gentoo Install
    root (hd0,8)
    kernel /isolinux/gentoo root=/dev/ram0
    initrd=/isolinux/gentoo.igz init=/linuxrc acpi=off looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs cdroot vga=791 splash=silent
    A nother' tip is the shell that is provided if you experience problems, typically busybox or ash.  The key tools to get you going from here is mount and chroot.  Sometimes you will need to manually create a simulated file system and then chroot into it.  For instance, you might have to create boot, etc, bin, directories on the target partition. 
    I generally install each OS onto the next partition (careful of the logical partition) and add it to my menu.lst after install.  A good idea is after installation, copy the kernel and initrd(if there is one) to the slackware(or whatever) boot partition on hda1.  I copy kernels to /boot/KERNEL/ and initrd's to /boot/INITRD, then menu.lst is more organized...
    You then need to add an updated section to your menu.lst (just comment out the install section for later)
    Here is the finished arch-linux section from menu.lst
    title Arch Linux 6
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 ro root=/dev/hdc3
    This doesn't use my convenient boot/KERNEL/vmlinuz26 as you can tell by setting the root to partition 3.
    ***NOTE: Make a backup of MBR using dd and save to floppy, also backup the partition table to floppy, using cfdisk or parted.  And boot disks (I use 1 with grub, and 1 with slack, and tomsbootdisk) will invariably come in handy.  Tomsbootdisk is recommended, and make the grub boot disk when you install grub.  install to floppy.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    The final result after some fun experimenting, is when I boot, I have a cool grub boot screen come up with the option to boot into whatever OS I want, this is handy for multiple reasons.  One good thing to do after this is to port scan and vuln scan each OS, after you update of course.  Write this stuff down and you will know the weaknesses/strengths of the various OS's. 
    I can boot a custom Firewall, snort, or multiple honeypots using this procedure, as well as a graphical kde environment with a kernel optimized for graphics and my processor/architecture, or an environment devoted to forensics or even an environment suitable for programming.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    P.S. Some of the cooler alternative operating systems are BeOS 5, EOS, ER_OS, V2_OS, and my personal favorite Menuet.  Menuet is 100% assembly graphical operating system that fits on a floppy.  Its f'in money!
    This should be a good enough example to get you started, this kind of thing should be learned and not just copied... Knowing how to do this stuff could prove to be exceptionally useful...

    While installing Acrobat XI Pro, the installation automatically rolls back and I get the message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.07) could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again." How to resolve it.
    How do I modify the system.

    Hi Rgardezi,
    The only reason why Acrobat installation fails and throw this error message is when there are some services running in the background causing the installer not to complete the installation. My take is try the following steps and suggest if you were able to install the products or not :
    1) Navigate to control panel and confirm that there is no line Item that talks about Acrobat. If you see Acrobat XI listed there, please remove them.
    2) Perform a selective Start up using the steps mentioned in this link.
    Please suggest if the above mentioned steps were able to resolve the query for you or not.
    Cheers,
