.jar installer fails in console mode over missing X / variable DISPLAY

Hi all,
I tried to install the WebLogic Server in console mode according to the Installation Guide for Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Release 1, but couldn't get past an error.
My system is a CentOS 6.4 with kernel 2.6.32-358.el6.i686 in a VMWare virtual machine, running text mode only (X is not installed). I have JRockIt installed, and variables MW_HOME, JAVA_HOME and PATH defined accordingly, and I am using a dedicated user to this installation. Both JRockIt and WLS are being installed in this user's home directory.
I downloaded the generic .jar installer for WebLogic Server 12.1.2 (wls_121200.jar) and tried to install the server in console mode, with this command:
java -jar <path>wls_121200.jar -mode=console
In the initial checks, the installer complains that the environment variable DISPLAY is not set and asks if I want to continue or not. The installation guide says this is not required for a console mode installation, so I chose to continue anyway. Then the installation fails with a Java exception:
java.awt.HeadLess exception:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
(Then the usual class dump)
Should the console mode install ask for X? Did I miss anything? What should I do to be able to install the server in console mode?
Many thanks,
Emerson

Hi,
There is no console mode in WebLogic 12.1.2. It has been remove.

  • Domain configuration fails in console mode

    Hi everybody,
    I've got a problem trying to configure a domain based on Portal Template.
    If I use the wizard all works fine but if I try to use the custom mode I get a Security Configuration error.
    It happens but I didn't change any security parametrs, I'd not added users or groups, I didn't enter in security session.
    Did anyone get the same problem?
    My system is a Solaris (I get the error with both 9 and 8 version) on Sun Spark and Weblogic Platform 8.1
    Thanks a lot

  • Weird siebel 8.0 console mode installation problem on OEL 4

    Hi There,
    When I tried to install Siebel 8.0 SIA build on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL 4), I encountered a weird problem. It is a sandbox for QA to do testing, everything is on the same machine: oracle database 10.2.0.3, gateway, siebel server and SWSE. I installed oracle database, and make sure the database connection is fine, then I did the following :
    1) run install by command "./setuplinux -is:javaconsole -console", it compeleted fine.
    2) go to gateway directory, source cfgenv.sh
    3) run "ssincfgw -is:javaconsole -console" to do gateway server, enterprise and SWSE logical profile configuration. Gateway configuration is fine, gateway started up successfully. But during enterprise configuration, it throws out a bunch of error messages like :
    Error creating Parameter:MaxEntrTasks for Comp:TxnProc in CompGroup:Remote
    Strict Flag set to FALSE, continuing with the next Object...
    Error creating Parameter:MaxEntrTasks for Comp:RepAgent in CompGroup:Remote
    Strict Flag set to FALSE, continuing with the next Object...
    Error creating Component:MsgBroadcastMgr in CompGroup:CommMgmt
    Strict Flag set to FALSE, continuing with the next Object...
    SBL-ADM-02071: Enterprise server siebel not found in gateway server
    But at the end, it still shows "Execution Successful!"
    The SWSE logical profile configuration went through fine
    4) go to siebel server directory and source cfgenv.sh
    5) launch the ssincfgw in siebsrvr/bin directory to config siebel server, it also throws a bunch of error messages like:
    Error creating Parameter:AllowAnonUsers for Comp:SMObjMgr_enu in CompGroup:MktgOM
    Strict Flag set to FALSE, continuing with the next Object...
    Error creating Parameter:AllowAnonUsers for Comp:eMarketObjMgr_enu in CompGroup:MktgOM
    Strict Flag set to FALSE, continuing with the next Object...
    Error creating Parameter:AllowAnonUsers for Comp:eEventsObjMgr_enu in CompGroup:MktgOM
    Strict Flag set to FALSE, continuing with the next Object...
    But again, at the end it still shows "Execution Successful!".
    6) go to siebsrvr directory, source siebenv.sh
    7) Launch srvrmgr in command line mode:
    srvrmgr /g $GATEWAY /e $SIEBEL_ENTERPRISE /u $USERNAME /p $PASSWD
    and it shows "connected to 0 server"
    In the SiebSrvr.log file, it shows " SBL-SCC-00025: No value found in the Gateway. Default value in the repository is used."
    In the sw_cfg_util.log file, it shows "SBL-SVR-03005: No server connect string for Siebel Component servermgr in Siebel Enterprise siebel, Siebel Server sdc60002sems".
    The weirdest part is, if I clean up and uninstall everything, run the install and configure in GUI mode, give the same parameters, I don't get any error messages and siebel server can be up and running fine.
    I searched the forum and found people have reported the same error message during enterprise configuration, but says it does not affect them from bring up the siebel server. Since I'm developing an automation to do the installation, I cannot use GUI mode to install. I have to make the command line console mode work and then record the response file for silent install. Does anyone know what might cause my siebel server fail to be up and running ? Thanks a lot for any suggestions and helps.

    hi,
    Make sure that your network uses DNS naming.
    This error occurs when a machine is not correctly configured to use DNS naming. The default fully qualified host and domain name presented during installation is not correct.
    To successfully install, you need to provide a fully qualified domain name that consists of a local host name along with its domain name.
    for example yoursystem is a host name and yourdomain.com is a fully qualified domain name.

    Guys, I been in the business working on PC and MAC for years. So I am not green at this, I was looking for some kind of option to get past the boot loader..  Which is failing. 
    I know how to boot into these modes.. Done tons of research before posting and couldn't find anything.
    It will not go into  Internet Recovery, or any thing else.  I hear the sound .. then that is it.. I get nothing else..
    I have tried clearing the NVRAM which is Option + Command + P + R
    Still nothing..
    So I thought I would try here to see if maybe there was some trick out there someone might know of that would work.
    What else guys?  I am hitting th keys right..

  • Installation error "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file." (Win7)

    When I try to install I get the following message- "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please dowload Adobe Support advisor to detect the problem." Adobe Support Advisor can't find anything wrong. I've tried downloading with both IE and Chrome. I'm running Win7.

    It seems a case of bad extract, Plese re-extract or redownload CS6.
    Do let us know if problem persists.

    Did you unzip the entire contents of the download zip file onto your hard drive before running the installer?  You need to do that.
    I have installed it myself and it went in just fine.

  • Application Manager: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file (Mac)

    I would like to install the trial version of Creative Suite 6. I was able to download the .dmg file, but when I run the installation I keep getting the following message:
    Installation Failed. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file.
    More troubleshooting tips:
    1. Restart your computer.
    2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software.
    3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications.
    I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant program, Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, Adobe Support Advisor, and a recent version of the Application Manager. Yet I keep getting the same error message. I downloaded the program twice already. Nothing seems to be working. Can someone please help me solve this problem?

    Thank you for replying Mylenium. I found a list of system requirements: http://www.creativebloq.com/general/adobe-cs6-system-requirements-1233361
    The following is some information about my Mac's:
    MacBook
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leaopard
    Itel Core Duo (32-Bit)
    1GB of RAM
    iMac
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 Snow Leaopard
    Itel Core Duo (32-Bit)
    2GB of RAM
    I have old computers but they still work just fine. I assume I won't be able to install CS6 in my MacBook, but could I install it in my iMac? Is Firefox browser okay?
    It's disappointing that nowadays we constantly need to purchase new devices to correspond with new software when older devices still work just fine.

    Would you be able to advise me how to proceed from here?  Thank you very much.

    Any idea how i should proceed?
    Thank you.
