MDM 5.5 SP05 installation - Anyone installed it on SUSE Linux?

In accordance to my previous post, I will give the whole story of my installation in order to make it clear.
It is about a test server , running Linux SUSE LES 9.3. We want to install on it MDM5.5 (without NetWeaver -stand alone installation) and ORACLE 10g database.
So I started with the ORACLE 10.2 installation which went fine.
Now I am in the process of installing the MDM 5.5 on the same Linux server.
The installation guide is very poor regarding instructions for Linux like systems:
Extract the MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server files from the archives with the
following name structure:
<server>.<incremental version>.<rebuild version>-<platform>-<compiler>.tar.<archive extension>
2. Place the server files in the root directory under /opt.
We recommend to place and install all servers (MDS, MDIS, MDSS) in the same folder, for
example /opt/MDM/bin.
3. Install each server folder by executing tar -xvf <server file>.
4. Delete the server archives and files.
Launching the Servers
1. Define a user account named mdm to run the MDM Servers on.
A process may not allocate more memory than the value of the ulimit -d command. So set
this value as large as possible for the mdm user. On some Unix-based OS, unlimited is
default, but on others, the kernel imposes a maximum value. Check your system carefully to
determine the optimum setting.
For AIX 64bit, we recommend adding ulimit -d unlimited to the user profile of mdm.
2. Log in as the mdm user.
3. In the mdm account's home directory (or a subdirectory), set up execution directories for the servers.
The execution directories will contain various runtime files (for example, nohup.out for error
messages) that are created and used by the MDM server software. Normally these directories do not
require any manual intervention.
We strongly recommend to set up an execution folder structure similar to the following example
to run each server process in its dedicated folder:
~mdm/mdm/mds
/mdis
/mdss
This ensures that the runtime files of the different servers are clearly separated.
Ensure that you make the dedicated execution directory the current one before launching one of
the servers. Use pushd to set the execution directory each time you run one of the servers.
4. Launch each server (MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server) from the mdm user
account by executing mds, mdis, or mdss from within the server's dedicated execution directory.
Do not run mds, mdis,or mdss from the installation directory or any subdirectory (this is the directory defined in the MDM_HOME variable).
So I have followed all these instructions but I am not sure what does it mean to "set execution directory"!!! My MDM home is /opt/MDM/bin under binI have mds,mdis and mdss with the respective scripts. I run them to launch the servers and I get the error:
mdm@mucsapt2:/opt/MDM/bin> ./mds-r
./mds-r: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The libraries are there under /opt/MDM/liband with the right access rights.
The document says to run the mds-r from the execution path which should be under /home/mdm. Does it mean that I have to copy all the scripts there? It is not clear at all.
I am surprised, such  a big forum and nobody had faced this issue. Is there anybody who did the installation on Linux? From what I see there are not too many questions for the installation itself. Was it so straight forward for all you?
Thanks in advance,
Loukas

Unsupported Linux version should not make a major difference in this case...
This happens because your system runs out of swap space necessary for installer to fork and exec external process which configures the domain. Solution is to increase the amount of swap space available to installer - on Solaris this is usually done by cleaning up any unnecessary content from /tmp partition and shuting down non-essential processes prior to reinstalling. I suppose the same steps would help on Linux.
Before reinstallation you should also use provided uninstaller to cleanup this failed installation if you intend to install in the same location.

  • Anyone install 8i on Corel Linux

    I would like to try Oracle8i on Corel Linux. Has anyone tried this. If so what were some of the issues that I should be concerned with.

    Just discovered one more thing:
    After the installation is done, you may notice that sqlplus is not working (as well as a bunch of other things). That's because there are a number of libraries missing and linking process failed.
    To fix this problem I did two things:
    1. I had to go back into the Java installer and install everything that there was available. In fact, I went back into installer twice (because of the way it works). The third window during the installation (called "Available Products") has three radio buttons. You go through the first one during initial install, then come back twice for the other two (click everything that's unchecked each time around). That way you end up with all the libraries possible installed.
    2. I got the 8.1.5.0.2 patch from technet at http://technet.oracle.com/tech/linux/
    Followed the instructions in README. After the patch is done, it asks you to check the log files and relink Oracle Intelligent Agent. Here's how I did the relinking part:
    cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
    gmake -f ins_oemagent.mk agent
    If you don't have gmake, create a link like this:
    cd /usr/bin
    ln -s make gmake
    After all that I ended up with updated and working sqlplus, svrmgrl, and Java utilities like netasst, netec (although the last two crash when you try to test a connection). The database is accessible through svrmgrl and sqlplus, and from outside the box I use sqlplus and Net8 clients running on NT.

  • Can't install Oracle on SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro

    Hi,
    i try since three weeks to install Oracle 9.2 Release 2. My last Problem was,
    that i didn't know how to log in as the created Oracle User. This Problem is solved.
    But when i install Oracle as the Oracle User and try to configure the Administrator
    Group, i get the error, that i don't have the specific permission to change that,
    so i gave the Oracle User all Rights about every directory (chown oracle:dba / ).
    After that the Installation proceed without any problem, but after the Installation,
    the Database Configuration Assistant failed to install and two other Assistants, too.
    So, i don't know where there problem is. I fulfilled every pre-installation Task, but
    it still isn't possible for me, to install Oracle 9.2 on a SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional
    System.
    If anyone could help me along this Installation, i would be very thankful.
    Thanks a lot
    Daniel

    But when i don't give the oracle user all rights, it isn't possible to proceed with theinstallation
    But if you give that rights then it's a security hole. According to your words I guess you have similar enviroment settings:
    ORACLE_BASE=/
    ORACLE_HOME=/<directory_name>
    Why you not installing on deeper directory such as /opt or some your own directory? For example
    ORACLE_BASE=/myoracledir
    ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/<directory_name>
    Then chown -R oracle:dba /myoracledir.
    Then oracle will be owner just for /myoracle directory and all its subdirectories.
    i just could look at the error details, but they didn't described the erroranyway.
    That's not so true. Error log you could find in /tmp/OraInstallYYYY-MM-DD_HH_MI_SS..

  • Can't install Forte4j on SuSE Linux 8.0 ...

    Hi all,
    I tried to install Forte4J on my SuSE Linux 8.0. But I receive a strange error during the installation process.
    "package 02f06fd12771dbf359f999a9adb8b305-4.0- is not installed"
    So, which package do I need? ;-) I installed JDK 1.4.1 which runs fine and is found by the Forte installer. But I didn't install it as a RPM - because there was no RPM available.
    Maybe someone can give me a hint on that ...
    Thnx.
    Axel

    There's a new bin file available for JDK 1.4.1 and it works even if after the
    installation the error appears. ;-)
    But be sure NOT to download the combined JDK and SunOneStudio bin file with about
    98 MB. There's a bin file available which contains only SunOneStudio for
    JDK 1.4.1. Use that one!

    Hello Widya,
    I am glad that you found our documents helpful.
    Did you face any problems while following the document? Was it clear enough? Did the installation go as documented?
    If no, then I would like to hear about them. We can update the document to make it more useful to OTN Users.
    It would be very helpful is you can mention the problems; if any.
    Thanks,

  • Installation problem Oracle 9i on SuSE Linux 7.2 s390

    Hi all
    I've got a problem after having installed Oracle9i on a S390 box with SuSE linux 7.2. When I launch sqlplus, I've got the following message :
    sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
    It appears the shared library libclntsh.so.9.0 was not included in the tarball I've downloaded from the Oracle site.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    Forget my question : I've found the answer in the document ID 158104.1. Even if my problem was not exactly the one mentioned (I hadn't any problem during compile time), the cure was good.

    i have downloaded the file j2re-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin into my public_html directory.
    which comand do i have to use to install java??
    please help!
    best regards
    Mad Elk

    I found this on Sun's Site, it should help. If it is a bin file, you should just have to type whateverItIsCalled.bin and hit enter. Make sure it is in the directory you want to install it in!
    Installation of Self-Extracting Binary
    Use the following instructions if you want to use the self-extracting binary file to install the Java 2 SDK. If you want to install RPM packages instead, see Installation of RPM File.
    1. Check the download file size.
    Before you download a file, notice that its byte size is provided on the download page. Once the download has completed, check that you have downloaded the full, uncorrupted software file.
    2. Copy j2sdk-1_3_1_<version number>-linux-i586.bin to the directory into which you want to install the Java 2 SDK.
    3. Run j2sdk-1_3_1_<version number>-linux-i586.bin
    Launch the executable file you downloaded, j2sdk-1_3_1_<version number>-linux-i586.bin, by using the following commands from the directory in which it is located:
    chmod a+x j2sdk-1_3_1_<version number>-linux-i586.bin
    ./j2sdk-1_3_1_<version number>-linux-i586.bin
    The script will display a binary license agreement, which you will be asked to agree to before installation can proceed. Once you have agreed to the license, the install script will install the Java 2 SDK in a directory named jdk1.3.1_<version number> in the current directory.
    Note about root access - Unbundling the software automatically creates a directory called jdk1.3.1_<version number>. If you choose to install the Java 2 SDK into system-wide location such as /usr/local, you must first become root to gain the necessary permissions. If you do not have root access, simply install the Java 2 SDK into your home directory, or a subdirectory that you have permission to write to.
    Note about overwriting files - If you unpack the software or documentation in a directory that contains a subdirectory named jdk1.3.1_<version number>, the new software will overwrite files of the same name in that jdk1.3.1_<version number> directory. Be careful to rename the old directory if it contains files you would like to keep.

  • Installation of Oracle EBusiness Suite 11i Release 10.2 on Suse Linux 9

    Hi,
    I have been going thru this forum and got some great tips but am still having problems installing it on Suse Linux Enterprise 9. The reason for failure is at 20% - adrun9i.sh script. Initially it was giving me error while unzipping the files, now it passes that step but gives error while configuring db. I am not sure what the problem is. I have set all the possible kernel parameters. Any help is appreciated?
    Thanks in advance,

    I had the same issue, though I cant remember the percentage anymore, but it was whilst on Database Disk 2.
    What I found out was that the DVD in which that zipXX file was had a CRC error, and the size of the .dbf (I think it was a xxxtx.dbf file) was smaller than expected, cos I manually unzipped this file during a rerun of the installation which finally succeeded. Unfortunately, the DB srung the error after I tried forcing it to mount and open.
    I have now installed the same on SLES9, after I downloaded a fresh set of files from edelivery.oracle.com ( Its a nightmare if you have a slow broadband - Lasted me about 2 weeks, using a download manager)
    You can see the article written by Micheal B on coolnotes in the Novell site, and get in touch if further assistance is needed.
    Good Luck if you havent given up on the idea
