JNLS Exception in 8i dbassist

When I run dbassist, it gives me the following error:
JNLS Exception:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find and National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle installation.
It then procedes to run ODCA.
If I choose "Modify a Database," it displays available instances
-- ORCL is the only one in the list. When I select it and choose
Next, I get an "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available" error.
If I choose "Create a Database," then choose "Typical," then
"Copy existing database files from the DC," it allows me to
choose a Global Database Name and SID, but then tells me it can't
find the CD. If I try again, it says the database with that name
has already been created.
If I choose "Delete a Database," and select ORCL, it says it is
deleted and exits ODCA. Running dbassist again, ORCL still shows
up in the list of available instances, and I still can't use the
name of the database I used in the first abended attempt.
I just want to create a very simple instance that I can connect
to and run simple queries to verify that Oracle is installed
correclty.

Hi,
get the 8.1.5.1 patch (just available) and read the readme and
faq VERY carefully. Also read the release notes, some of your
problems are mentioned there.
It fixes some problems, but introduces many new ones. Will they
ever learn to provide a flawless install????

JNLS Exception?

As have a number of people, I am getting the:
JNLS Exception:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle Installation.
I have read through all the posts on the list that deal with
this and it appears as if no one (yet) has a solution. Does
anyone know a workaround for this??? Anyone??? Oracle???
Thanks,
Keehan
P.S. Does anyone have working .bashrc & or .bash_profile files
that they would not mind submitting for an Oracle *nix newbie?
By the way, off list topic, but what is the relationship between
the two above mention scripts???

Dbassist still doesn't work after Suse patch

I have followed the instructions to a tee on the Suse website on how to install 8.1.7 on Suse 7.1. I manage to install 8.1.7 EE fine, run the glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz patch, but cannot run dbassist. I either get the traditional SIGSEV error, or (after typing unset LANG) get "JNLS Exception: oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException Unable to find National Character Sets. Check your Oracle installation and make sure that the ORACLE_HOME environment variable is defined correctly."
Can anyone help?

This is what worked for me:
Uncomment and/or modify the following line in /etc/profile.d/oracle.sh
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8; export NLS_LANG
I also added it to the /home/oracle/.profile
When I couldn't find anything in the forums about the JNLS error I was looking at the Installation Instructions for Oracle 8.1.7 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 7, available at:
http://www.suse.com/en/support/oracle/docs/817_sles7_install.pdf.
On page 9 it mentions /etc/profile/oracle.sh. When I saw that the NLS line was not in use I tried uncommenting it. I'm not sure whether it was uncommenting it or ADDING the line to the .profile but dbassist now runs fine. I've been able to launch it several times - each time on the first try (provided I type unset LANG before doing so). Good luck!

Dbassist and character set's

Hello everyone. I just installed Oracle8i on my Slackware7 linux box and I can not seem to start the dbassist tool that comes with it. When I attempt to start the assistant it throws an JNLS exception, that reads as shown bellow.
"JNLS Exception:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please check your Oracle installation."
Now my question is (obviously) how do I go about fixing this annoyance? Could one of my Enviorment vars. be causeing this to occur? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
thanx in advance james...

The JNLS error is a bug...What u have to do is just ignore the error and go ahead with the database creation...
I think this should help u out...

Oracle8i Install problem. - Cannot Create DB w/ DBAssist.

Help me!
I've tried to install 8i on redhat 6.0 with 2.2.5 kernel...
Jre worked.
Tcl worked.
runInstaller started without problem.
Netassist worked.
But! DBAssist was stucked...
At that time, Acount was 'oracle' of 'oinstall',
but dbassits said "JNLS Exception:" as usuall.
so I proceeded with "OK".
my choice was,
Create a database
Custom
OLTP
connection 5.
Dedicated server mode
off all other options ( 'cause it was first time )
sid = test0901
for all other options, I used default..
Create now...
However, that bloody DBASSIST said..
"ORA-01031 : Insufficient privilege"
Does it make sense? Manual says I shoul work on installation
with 'oracle' of 'oinstall' but DBASSIST said 'oracle' is lack
of privilege!.
so, I aborted dbassist and, I tried again as 'admin' of 'dba',
This time it said.
"DBCA-00047 : Unable to create destination directory.."
I've been spending almost 5 day with this lovely s/w....
Plz help me..T.T...
from Seoul Korea, Far East....

Make sure that the oracle user account belong to the dba group
when you create oracle user ID.

8.1.5 on RH 6.1 fails

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 (EE) on Red Hat 6.1. Everything goes fine until I get the message:
Summary Oracle8i Enetrprise Edition 8.1.5:
Space requirements
Volume / Required 444 MB: Available not available.
But I have 3GB free space.........
Please help.
//Patrik

I have carried out the instructions as detailed, I then run the dbassist $ and get the documented error, continuing I choose custom and define my database. Once complete I choose to create the script rather than run the "Create Database" directly. Once complete I then run the SQL script to find out that Oracle is not loaded, looking at the first script that it tries to run I notice that the original error that I get is a shared segment error... Any Thoughts??
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by [email protected]:
Ignore it. There are some other quircks to it. Namely:
1) Select oinstall as the group to own the Oracle software. After entering
this you will be prompted to run the /tmp/orainstall/oraInstall.sh as root.
Please make sure you run this as root before proceeding.
% cd /tmp/orainstall
% ./oraInstall.sh
2) When you reach the "Installation Types" window, you must select Custom.
3) When you reach the "Available Product Components" window, you can select
everything. Do NOT de-select intermedia.
5) You will asked whether you wish to create a database as part of the
installation. Regardless of your answer, the installer will start the
Database Configuration Assistant (dbassist) and attempt to create a
database at the end of the install.
6) When dbassist runs at the end of the install, the following error is
displayed "JNLS Exception: oracle.ntp.jnls.JNLSException Unable to find any
National Character Sets. Please check your Oracle installation."
This is a known problem <bug:884001>. Ignore the warning.
7) When database assistant starts, select cancel to exit. You should not
attempt to create a database before applying the 8.1.5.0.2 patch set.
8) When you exit the database assistant, you will go back into the Oracle
Universal Installer to complete the installation. Exit the installer at
this point.
Now you are out of the installer, there are some additional tasks to
perform. The file permissions on lsnrctl and several other executables will be
incorrect (despite the fact you ran $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh at the appropriate time). To
fix this do the following:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/install/utl
$ ./linux.sh
This will recompile and fix the permissions problems.
Now you need to apply the 8.1.5.0.2 patch set. Extract the file you
downloaded into a suitable directory.
$ tar xvfz linux_815patches.tgz
$ cd linux_815patches
$ ./linux_815patches.sh
This will apply the patches. Check the log files in /tmp for any errors.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Redhat 6.2 / Oracle 8.1.6

I'm making a clean install of Oracle 8.1.6 (no previous Oracle, no ora* files in /etc) and having a problem I can't get around whenever I execute /mnt/cdrom/install/linux/runIstaller, I get the error message:
"The Java RunTime Environment was not found at /bin/jre. Hence the Oracle Universal Installer cannot be run."
I've installed jre118_v1 from Blackdown at /usr/local, and crteated the links /usr/local/jre and /bin/jre that point back to the install. I have the following environmental variables in oracle8i's .bash_profile (excuse the poor formatting) and they appear correctly from the "env" command. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help or advice.
# Oracle 8.1.6
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/8i/app/oracle/product/8.1.6
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/oracle/8i/app/oracle
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
# Java JRE
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jre
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

I get a Linux + Oracle 8i howto here.
Hope it helps!!!
=====================
1) runInstaller script spins
On some systems (notabley Red Hat 6.0 systems), the installer will briefly flash
up a window and then just hang.
This can be resolved in two ways:
i) There is a bug in the Enlightenment package used with the GNOME window
system on Red Hat 6.0. You can download the upgrade for the Enlightenment
package from Red Hat at
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata/rh60-errata-general.html
ii)There is a problem with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) used by the Oracle
Universal Installer (OUI). The solution is to download and use the Version
1.1.7_v3 JRE/JDK from http://www.blackdown.org/ rather than the 1.1.6_v5
version suggested in the Install guide.
2) Database Assistant fails to run
During the installation you will be prompted as to whether you wish to craete
a database at the end of the install. It is recommended that you select NOT to
run dbassist (Database Assistant) at this stage. You should apply patchset 81501
before attempting to create a database.
However the database assistant tool, dbassist may fail with the following:
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find the class /java/lang/Thread
Could not create Java VM
You need to ensure that the symbolic link /usr/local/jre does point to
/usr/local/jre116_v5.
ALTERNATIVELY, you can symlink classes.zip to rt.jar in the jre/lib directory.
3) SQLPLUS can not by run users other than Oracle
A multitude of errors can be reported here, from missing libraries to file
permissions.
This can either be a problem in that root.sh was never run during installation.
If this is the case, see the development FAQ below.
More likely is that you ran root.sh, but SQLPLUS will still not work. The
problem is fixed by applying the 81501 patch set.
I. Installation Issues
1. Which JRE version is required for running the Oracle Universal Installer
(OUI) and where is this available ?
Use JRE 1.1.6 v5 from http://www.blackdown.org.
The JRE 1.1.7 v3 (green threads) also should work, though not tested,
which is also availble from this site.
Download and install the above mentioned JRE in any location where there
is enough disk space and create a symbolic link from /usr/local/jre
to the location where JRE was installed.
2. On what window managers was OUI tested ?
OUI runs on fvwm and KDE.
There is a bug in the Enlightenment package used with GNOME on Red Hat 6.0
that causes the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) to fail. You may download
the RPM upgrade for the Enlightenment package,
enlightenment-0.15.5-36.i386.rpm from the Red hat Errata site at
http://www.redhat.com/corp/support/errata/rh60-errata-general.html.
3. OUI couldn't determine the free disk space though there is enough space
and instead displayed some warnings.
It's a bug in the installer. Please ignore the warnings and
continue the installation.
4. When OUI reached installing protocol support, an empty list box
is displayed where the network protocols should have been listed.
Unable to select any protocol.
Only the TCP/IP adapter is supported which is default and built-in, and
so the screen is blank.
5. Just before the DB Assistant is launched, a dialog is displayed with
the warning:
"JNLS Exception: oracle.ntp.jnls.JNLSException Unable to find any
National Character Sets. Please check your Oracle installation."
This is a known problem (884001). Ignore the warning
6. Which one do we install to launch dbassist - JDK or JRE ?
Download and install JRE 1.1.6 v5 as mentioned above, before launching
the dbassist.
7. While adding PL/SQL support, the DB Assistant complained that
dbmssml.sql script was missing.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above and launch dbassist.
8. While testing the database creation using the dbassist, we have
observed that, on a 4-way SMP system, it took more than 4 hours to
create the database, if all the options are enabled. This may affect
the performance of the machine during this time.
You could either select the option to create scripts and run them OR
use the scripts provided in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install/create to create
the database. The scripts in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install/create
take ORACLE_SID as the parameter. Before running these scripts copy the
init.ora available in this directory as $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<sid>.ora
and modify any parameters in this to suit your requirements, at a minimum
change the db_name, instance_name and service_name parameters.
To enable the 8i features set the compatible parameter to "8.1.5" in the
init<sid>.ora file.
The order in which to run these scripts is
crdb1.sh |
crdb2.sh |-- To create database files, data dictionary views
crdb3.sh | and add PL/SQL support
replicate.sh --- Advanced replication option
ordinst.sh |__ Oracle Intermedia
imedia.sh |
drsys.sh |__ Oracle interMedia Text
context.sh |
java.sh --- Oracle Jserver
spatial.sh --- Oracel Spatial
timeseries.sh --- Oracle TimeSeries
virage.sh --- Oracle Visual Information Retrieval
sqlplus1.sh |
sqlplus2.sh |-- Demos and SQL*Plus help tables
sqlplus3.sh |
You need not have to run all these scripts to create the database.
The first three scripts (crdb1.sh, crdb2.sh and crdb3.sh) would create a
database and the scripts sqlplus1.sh, sqlplus2.sh and sqlplus.sh would
create some demo tables. Once the database is created, you could run other
scripts mentioned above to use the respective 8i feature, e.g., for Jserver,
run the java.sh script. To enable Oracle Intermedia Text, run the scripts -
drsys.sh and context.sh, in this order only. Similarly, for
Oracle Intermedia, run ordinst.sh followed by imedia.sh.
Spatial, time series and visual information retrieval options are not
supported on Oracle 8i Standard Edition.
9. OUI doesn't seem to get installed anywhere even if the "installed
products" shows the OUI.
If the specified ORACLE_HOME is say, /usr/local/8i/oracle, and didnot
select the location for OUI installation, it gets installed in
/usr/local/8i.
10. After installation, executable permissions are wrong for sqlplus, tnslsnr,
lsnrctl and a couple of others (644 not 755) and oracle is 751
instead of 6751
Important: After Server component is installed, root.sh should have been
run to set the proper permissions, when prompted by the installer.
If another component is installed before running the root.sh script,
the script root.sh will be overwritten by the subsequent install.
If this happens,
you have to either re-install the server component again
OR
instantiate root.sh from $ORACLE_HOME/install/utl/root.sbs by updating
the lines [60-62] with your ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME path and
ORACLE_OWNER id and run the script.
11. Oracle Intelligent Agent Executables are not present in $ORACLE_HOME/bin
after installation. These executables neither get installed or relinked.
Please refer to the release note for instructions to link the
Oracle Intelligent Agent executables - dbsnmp, oemevent.
12. Names server is not getting installed.
Apply the patch.8.1.5.0.1 or above.
II. General Issues
1. On which Linux distributions is Oracle 8i for Intel-Linux certified ?
This release is certified with Red Hat 6.0. Certification for other
distributions is currently in progress.
2. DBassist (Database Configuration Assistant) alerts with many missing files
when run on a typical installation.
Please do not use the "Typical" install option when installing Oracle 8i
Emterprise Edition, since yo u will be unable to use the Intermedia Audio
and Intermedia Video options. This is a known problem. The work around to
this problem is to re-install using the "Custom" install option.

8.0.1.5 Download fails on install

Aloha -
I downloaded the Linux 8051EE for Linux and my
installation hangs on the copy of tnsping off
of the CDROM I made. I took the original tar I
downloaded and made two seperate CDS and they
both hang in the same place.
Anyone else experience this?
I am desperately seeking Oracle for Linux up to
date but Oracle won't send me the CD and the
Technet download fails.
HELP!!!
Thanks in advance,
Brett

the JNLS exception is a known bug. it can be ignored and the dbassist utility will work as best can be expected. as a tip, if you are not using OFA, at the end of the dbassist process - don't select the option to create a database straight away - choose the option to save it all as scripts. then check through those before you make your database with them.

W10 installation problems on Z500

Hi all, I have the following problems when I try to installing the new W10: - Using Windows Update i get an error (code 80070003) and it doesn't procede any further. I've tried using Windows Update diagnostic but I cannot solve the problem. I've also tried different procedures suggested in the Microsoft official forum, but with no results. - Using the Media Creation Tool and the install now option, the installing procedure starts but at around 24 % it stops, return to desktop and a message box saying "W10 update not succesful" appears. - Downloading the ISO of W10 with the Media Creation Tool, mounting it and procede with the set-up, it happens as previously described and the installation stops. Anyone else is encountering the same problems? What can we do to solve it? From the Microsoft official forum, they pointed out that some Lenovo are not compatible with W10 and they showed me the compatibility list on this website. Will Lenovo release some patch (or something similar) in order to solve the situation? Or there's no way we can update to W10 on the Z500? Best regards.

'oinstall' is for installing files. For database access as admin
you need to be in group 'dba'!

8iEE troubles on suse6.2

Hi!
I installed all patches for suse6.2 (also oracle815-suse62.tar.gz, ~20MB, 03 January, 2000).
I followed every instruction.
Anyhow I had still all of the known troubles creating databases after successful installation of oracle:
svrmgrl: "ORA-01012: not logged on" after "connect internal" and some tries
dbassist: some NLS-stuff: JNLS-Exception: oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException ...
and so on ...
I solved all problems by unsetting NLS_LANG and NOT using character set "WE8ISO8859P1"!!!!
I installed my database without dbassist by my own scripts.
IT WORKED!!!!
But the question is WHY?!!!
I would still want to use WE8ISO8859P1, some idea out there?
regards,
Ramin

The problems you indicated below:
svrmgrl: "ORA-01012: not logged on" after "connect internal" and some tries dbassist: some NLS-stuff: JNLS-Exception: oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException ...and so on ...
are both discussed in my homepage. See sections 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, of:
http://homepages.tig.com.au/~jmsalvo/linux/oracle8i.html
See also section 3.7 to create a db without using dbassist.
