Netasst on Redhat 6.1

I am a beginner. I have a problem with netasst on oracle8.1.5i for linux(Redhat6.1).
After running netasst,I followed these step:
1.Create Listener
listener name : TEST
2.Add address
Displayed: Protocol: TCP/IP
HOST: future_linux.gdpita
PORT: 1521
3.Create "Net Service Names"
a.Net Sevice Name: TestNSN
b.select "TCP/IP(internet Protocol)"
c.HOST NAME: 12.104.72.21 --(My computer's IP)
Port Number: 1521
d.Oracle8i Release 8.1 Service Name: v8i815
-- (I have created the oracle database whose global database name is "future" and System Identifier(SID) is "v8i815".
e: test
-----ERROR ( The Program exit )!
Displayed Information:
" Thread Alarm Q:
sys_thread_t 0x4147ae0c [Timeout in 240 ms]
sys_thread_t 0x419fde0c [Timeout in 240 ms] "
pls. help me and tell me why and the advice .

My netasst also crashes when I try to test.
So, I don't test at all. Just click the
Finish button.
Then at the prompt you can do the following
to make sure that your connection is setup
and working:
tnsping TEST
If you get an OK message then everything is fine. Make sure the database instance is up
and running before you do that.

Oracle 8.1.7 and Redhat 6.2EE SIGSEGV when running netasst

I've managed to install this ok - at least the core server is fine.
Unfortunately when I attempt to run almost any of the graphical java admin. utilities, eg oemapp, dbasst, netasst, owm. They fail with something like:
SIGSEGV received at befffac0 in /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6. Processing terminated
Writing stack trace to javacore1268.txt ... OK
The funny thing is dbasst actually runs about 1% of the times I run it. The rest never do.
I can run over applications that use X11 fine.
I am using the JRE that came with the oracle install (IBM1.1.8)
I have also tried other JREs.
I have also tried unset LANG (as mentioned in other posts)
Please help - I'm really stuck.

I've finally solved it!
I downloaded the following jre from blackdown:
jre118_v3-glibc-2.1.3-DYNMOTIF.tar.bz2
It's the only one that seems to work (and god, have I tried them all!)
I've no idea what the DYNMOTIF means (apart from being something to do with Motif - but you don't have to be a linux guru to work that out ;)) - but, hell, it works.
And after sitting in front of this machine for 3 days trying to deal with Oracle's, frankly PATHETIC install, that's so full of holes and bugs, that's all I care about..
The one bundled with Oracle 8.1.7 doesn't work with Linux redhat 6.2EE.
Don't oracle test their software?
Anyway I'm happy now, and I'm leaving this in case anybody else has the same problem.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Netasst, Oracle 8.1.7, Redhat 7.1

When trying to run netasst the following error is generated:
/usr/oracle/bin/netasst:
oracle.net.asst.container.netapplication: Command Not Found.
The meaning of the issue is seems straight forward. However,
does anyone know how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand:
My spatial data does not use projection (the SRIDs are 262148).
What is 262148? It is an SRID that isn't in the 8.1.7.4 database.
If the SRID isn't an issue, you might want to make sure the coordinate
system bounds of the geometries match if your data is coming from two
different tables and they both have quadtree indexes built on them.
If the coordinate system bounds don't match, then you can see this kind of problem.
Hope this helps,
Dan

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 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

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.
3. When running the netasst script to launch the Net8 Assistant, it complains
that, it could not locate the shared library libnjni8.so.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above.
4. The shell script gensyslib fails with the following error:
awk: cmd. line:2: fatal: cannot open file `tmpXXXX' for reading (No such
file or directory)
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above.
5. Most shell scripts when run fail with the following error:
bash: <script-name>: No such file or directory.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above
OR
Create a symbolic link to /bin/sh as follows:
ln -s /bin/sh /bin/ksh
6. Can't get sqlplus to work for any user on a Linux box other than "oracle",
which installed it.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above.
7. Sqlplus cannot connect to remote database.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above.
8. Unable to link the Oracle Intelligent Executables.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above.
9. Which JDK version is required for the JDBC drivers ?
Use the JDK 1.1.6 v5 from http://www.blackdown.org.
10. The jdbc thin driver errors when connecting from an NT box. OCI driver
works fine, but thin driver returns the "No more data to read from socket"
error.
This is a known problem in the client-side Java libraries (910741)
This is fixed in the current Oracle 8i for Intel-Linux distribution and
gets installed in $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib. Copy this version of
classes111.zip to appropriate directory on the client-side.
11. The supplied "relink" shell script fails to relink the executables.
Apply patch 8.1.5.0.1 or above.
12. libclntsh.so.8.0 is not present in the installed ORACLE_HOME.
It should have been generated at install time. In any case, it can be
generated by invoking the script genclntsh located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin.

RedHat 7.2 and Oracle 8.1.7 JRE Hangs

I have just installed RedHat 7.2 (workstation - did up2date -u)
and am trying to get Oracle 8.1.7 installed as well. After
doing a 'startx' as the oracle user, I then goto the mounted
cdrom drive and issue ./runInstaller. I then get the message:
"Initializing Java Virtual Machine
from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expande
d/linux/bin/jre. Please Wait....
However I am then dropped back to the shell and nothing further
happens. I do notice, however, that a 'jre' process remains
running, using 99% CPU resources, so it looks like something is
broken.
I have also followed the helpful webpage at
http://staff.in2.hr/denis/oracle/817install_rh72_en.html however
it made no difference. On a different box, I had done an
install of the same Oracle disk, but on a RedHat 6.2 box and
didn't have any problems.
Any help would be highly appreciated. Please feel free to email
me directly or ask for more details.
Thank you,
Hans Zauner

first download and install jdk 1.1.8 version 3
from www.blackdown.org or ftp.redhat.com
(exactly jdk1.1.8 version 3, i don't know if anything
else would work or not)
then install the Red Hat Linux 6.2 compatibility packages
compat-egcs (compat-egcs-c++, compat-egcs-g++ and all
compat-egcs-XXX) , compat-glibc and compat-libs
(thses are found in the installation CDs 1 and 2 of redhat 7.2)
then beofre running the installer define the following
environment variables.
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export JAVA_HOME= <Path to jdk 1.1.8 v3)
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
then source the following shell script by typeing the below line
as it is. (incuding the ".")
. /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386 glibc21-linux-env.sh
then run the installer.
DON"T Create a Database or network setup during Installation.
Just Install Oracle 8i.
Once done.
check for any patches available from Oracle and apply them.
change the following two shell scripts.
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbassist
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/netasst
change the lastline
from :- $JRE -classpath ....
to :- $JRE -nojit -classpath ....
then ur ready to create a Database with dbassist and configure
ur network params with netasst.
also be sure to turn on the redo logs after u have configured
the DB, in linux they are disabled by default.
I have done this on RH7.1 and belive 7.2 would be no different.
just be sure of the jdk and other stuff .
mail me if u need more help at [email protected]
all the best :)

Oracle8i On RedHat 7.x Mini How-To

For those of you still struggling with getting Oracle8i to work on RedHat 7.0/7.1 (or any other glibc 2.2 based Linux), here are some simple steps that should get you up and running:
0. Be sure to follow the instructions in the Installation Guide, particularly those in Chapter 2: Pre-Installation.
1. Before running 'runInstaller', unset the LANG environment variable from the Linux shell prompt (ex. unset LANG).
2. Install Oracle as usual, but do NOT create a database or configure Oracle networking (Net8).
3. When prompted to run the 'root.sh' script during installation, stop and fix the bug before proceeding. The line that reads:
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}`
should read
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}'`
(there is a missing single quote in the next to last character of the line).
Insert the missing single quote and then run 'root.sh' as root. Be sure to have the ORACLE_HOME environment variable set.
4. Download the 'glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz' patch from Technet or from ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/unix/LINUX/bug1467074 and install according to the README file.
5. Perform this step if you are planning to install Oracle Parallel Server (OPS). Otherwise, skip this step. There is a missing library in the sysliblist that prevents the Oracle kernel from relinking properly if OPS is installed. Edit the $ORACLE_HOME/lib/sysliblist to include '-lnsl', so that '-ldl -lm -lpthread' becomes '-ldl -lm -lnsl -lpthread'. Then relink the Oracle kernel like this:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
make -f ins_rdbms.mk install
6. Now configure networking (using netasst or netca) and the database (using dbassist) as usual. Be sure to 'unset LANG' before running these tools.
That's it. I hope this was useful to you.

Hi:
I just spent 12 hours trying to install Oracle 8.1.6.1EE on RH Linux 7.1 and finally got it to work. The problem always arose when the UI started linking the executables. RedHat 7.0/t.1 ships with glibc 2.2. but Oracle compiles with glibc 2.1. So what you have to do is install all of the compat-* RPMS that come with the Linux distro and then enter the following in the shell:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
./usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
Then run the Installer from the shell prompt. Also make sure you have set the correct environmental variables in the .bash-profile file belonging to the user that owns the oracle installation. Visit http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/817.html for this information. I got this Oracle distro with the book "Oracle 8i for Linux starter kit" by Steve Bobrowski.

Oracle 8.1.7.0.1 & Redhat 6.2

I can't run the administration tools like dbassist and netasst. The tools run, but then when I try to exit they crash, then won't open again ever. They complain of libc.so.6 and throw a stack trace. I have tried both IBM's jdk118 and SUN's sdk-1.2.2. Both have the same problem.
I think the shared libraries are being corrupted by the administration tools.
Does the listed patch address this symptom, the readme on the download site is not explicit as to the symtoms it fixes.
Thanx!

I think 6.2 is easier, just follow read me instruction, on redhat 7.0 you must run patch to downgrade glibc from 2.2 to 2.1

Netasst and Oracle8i

Hello...
I'm running Redhat 6 with the latest updates and am able to get
oracle8i installed and configure a database with dbassist. I've
tried to get netasst to run but just cant get it going. Can
anyone who has got this working give me a detailed description of
how you've done it? JDK/JRE version, etc?
Thanks!

Netasst on linux and Oracle 8.1.5

After applying the patch and starting netasst, this is the
message I get:
Exception during help initialization
The directory = /ora/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/network/admin/
Exiting
java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help?

I am getting a similar message, so you are not alone. I was not
able to get the listener.ora configured to connect to the
database so I thought I would try netasst, but I guess I will
have to keep playing with listener.ora.
The only thing different with my NullPointerException was that
there were two additional references to
oracle.net.nl.NLParamParser.
We downloaded the software last week without applying any patches
except for the Redhat rpm to make gnome work with OUI.

HELP! Can not install Oracle 8.1.5 w/ RedHat 6.1!

I can not get Oracle 8.1.5 to install onto Linux RedHat 6.1. The
Oracle installation script generates several errors. I have
tried several attempts, using different options, but they all
generate errors.
Please help. The Oracle Installation scripts appear to be very
buggy... or perhaps they are incompatible with the standard
RedHat 6.1 release. Either way, it is very frustrating.
I have documented one of my (failed) installation attempts below.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom?
I am installing Oracle onto a Dell Latitude CPi PC w/ 128MB RAM,
a 366MHz Pentium II, and RedHat 6.1 (using the standard Linux
2.2.12-2 kernel). RedHat was installed using the standard "Gnome
Workstation" configuration.
The Oralce CD is labeled:
"Oralce 8i Enterprise Edition
Release 8.1.5
for Linux
(c) Oracle Corporation 1999"
I got this CD about one week ago at Oracle OpenWorld '99 in Los
Angeles... it should be their "latest & greatest" version so far.
1. Pre-Installation and ./runInstall
I created an "oracle" Unix account w/ groups "oinstall" (the
primary group) and "dba" (a secondary group).
I created directories /u01 through /u04, belonging to oracle.
I setup .cshrc and sourced it, containing:
umask 022
setenv DISPLAY `hostname`:0
xhost +
setenv ORACLE_BASE /u01/app/oracle
setenv ORACLE_HOME ${ORACLE_BASE}/product/8.1.5
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest
setenv PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib
setenv NLS_LANG US7ASCII
I downloaded jre116_v5 and installed to /usr/local/jre.
Finally, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /mnt/cdrom
./runInstall
Problem: I got the error (from ./runInstall):
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
Workaround: Executed the following commands instead:
cd /mnt/cdrom/install/linux
./runIns.sh
3. runIns.sh and root.sh
I selected the following options (from ./runIns.sh):
Source: /mnt/cdrom/stage/products.jar
Destination: /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition 8.1.5.0.0
Typical (585MB)
Installable Components: Oralce Intelligent Agent 8.1.5.0.0
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Directory for Database Files: /u02
Then (when instructed by ./runIns.sh), I attempted to execute
(from the
"root" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5
./root.sh
Problem: I got the error:
"bash: ./root.sh: Permission denied"
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x root.sh
./root.sh
5. Configuration Tools
The Oracle Installer (./runIns.sh) attempted to execute:
A. Net8 Configuration Agent
B. Oracle Database Configuration Agent
Problem: The "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" failed with
the following error message:
"One or more tools have failed. It is recommended but not
required that these tools succeed for this installation.
You can now select these tools, read its details to examine
why they have failed, fix those problems, and retry them.
Or, you can click "Next" to continue."
When I selected the "Oracle Database Configuration Agent" for
more info, I got the following additional details (as the cause
of the error):
"A required command line argument is missing."
The log file
"/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions.log" recorded:
"Command which is being spawned is /usr/local/jre/bin/jre

Invalid Exit Code. The following result code will be used for

Configuration tool Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
failed"
Workaround: There is obviously nothing I can do to fix this
problem. It appears to be an internal bug in ./runIns.sh.
Therefore, I selected "Next" and executed "dbassist" directly.
6. dbassist
I executed:
dbassist
Problem: I got the following error:
"JNLS Execution:oracle.ntpg.jnls.JNLSException
Unable to find any National Character Sets. Please
check your Oracle installation."
Workaround: Press "OK" and ignore the error.
7. dbassist (cont.)
I selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Copy existing database files from the CD
Global Database Name: cprtest.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest
Problem: I got the following error:
"CD-ROM drive not detected on this system.
Database not created."
(Note: I've been running the installation scripts from the
CDROM drive this entire time. "df" shows the CDROM drive
mounted on /mnt/cdrom. "ls /mnt/cdrom" works too.)
Workaround: Abort (which generated the additional error: "Unable
to create database. DBCA-00003: No CD-ROM drive detected.") and
run dbassist again, this time using different parameters.
8. dbassist, again
I executed "dbassist" again and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and iM demos
Global Database Name: cprtest2.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest2
Create database now
Problem: I got the following error:
"ORA-01012: not logged on"
Workaround: Try, try again.
9. dbassist, one last time
Executed "dbassist" once more and selected the following options:
Create database
Typical
Create new database files
Hybrid
Concurrently connected users: 5
Options: Oralce interMedia, Oralce JServer, and interMedia
demos
Global Database Name: cprtest3.parkrussell.com
SID: cprtest3
Output creation script
Then, I executed (from the "oracle" Unix account):
cd /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/install
setenv ORACLE_SID cprtest3
./sqlcprtest3.sh
Problem: I got the following output:
"Oracle Server Manager Release 3.1.5.0.0 - Production
(c) Copyright 1997, Oracle Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Workaround: Beats me.
10. sqlplus
I attempted to execute sqlplus, but got the following error
message:
"/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus: Permission denied."
The execute bit was not set.
Workaround: I executed:
chmod a+x /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.5/bin/sqlplus
sqlplus
I gave up for now... there were just too many things wrong with
this installation, starting with the very first command I was
supposed to execute (./runInstaller).
I can't fathom why Oracle's installation script has so many bugs.
Am I just doing something terribly wrong?
Please help.

I'm using enlightenment version 0.15.5-41, which is more recent
than the 0.15.5-37 version (containing the Oracle installer
patch) that you recommended. Unfortunately, it fails when using
this version.
I also tried installing Oracle using twm, with enlightenment
disabled. This didn't help either.
Furthermore, the errors that I'm encountering in the OUI are
not just toward the end of the installation. They happen from
the very beginning, right after I enter "./runInstall", and
continue every step of the way.

Installation Problem on RedHat Linux 7.3

Hello,
I am tring to install JWSDP-1_2 package on my RedHat 7.3 Linux box
But I recevied the following error message
[root@design JWSDP-1_2]# ./jwsdp-1_2-unix.sh -console
bash: ./jwsdp-1_2-unix.sh: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: ?? ???
How do I install it ?
Thanks.
youngho

Make sure /bin/sh exists, and then try
/bin/sh ./jwsdp-1_2-unix.sh -console
It might work.

Install Solution Manager in RedHat Enterprise 6 with Oracle 11

Hello ,
In the marketplace-PAM, RedHat Enterprise 6 is not listed as approved for EHP1 Solution Manager 7.0 64 bit (unicode) with Oracle.
Does anyone have any information on this subject?
Has anyone installed the Solution Manager 7.0/Oracle with RedHat Enterprise 6?
tks

Yes, you are correct. Apart from PAM, following Note confirms this. RHEL 6 is not supported yet for Oracle, is in planning stage.

Can not install Oracle on Redhat 7.3

I have installed Redhat 7.3 . I tried to install Oracle 8i Release 2 (8.1.6).
But when I try to run runInstaller, nothing runs, Applet(JRE) does not open.
what is the problem?
I have successfully installed this Oracle 8.1.6 on Redhat 6.2

Hi there;
Here is what I have done to install Oracle8i 8.1.7 on Redhat7.3:
Things you need to download:
JAVA:
Get the JDK - jdk118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2
Get the JRE - jre118_v3-glibc-2.1.3.tar.bz2
use bzip2 OR tar:
tar -xvjf jdk-1.1.8_v3.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
as well for jre118
Symbolically link them:
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3/bin/java /bin/java
ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3/bin/jre /bin/jre
ln -s /usr/local/jdk118_v3 /usr/local/java
ln -s /usr/local/jre118_v3 /usr/local/jre
After you: tar -xvf /tmp/linux81701.tar
chmod 777 Disk1
cd Disk1
chmod 777 runinstaller
Now you should be able to run the <runInstaller>
when you receive this error close to end just click on ignor:
Error in invoking target relink of makefile /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/precomp/lib/ins_ctx.mk" Or something similar
The below operations should be performed logged in as root.
changes must be done on the root.sh script:
line 102 Read:
RMF=/bin/rm -f
changed it to: RMF=`/bin/rm -f`
line 156
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}`
change it to:
RUID=`/usr/bin/id|$AWK -F$ '{print $2}'|$AWK -F$ '{print $1}'`
Execute the script root.sh.
Ignore the errors about not being able to delete the files.
After you finish with: Net8 Configuration Assistant:
The below operations should all be performed logged in as oracle.
cd $ORACLE_HOME<In my machine is:cd product/8.1.7>
tar -xvzf /tmp/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz
./setup_stubs
Then exit from: $ORACLE_HOME
and edit .bash_profile OR .bashrc whichever you modified in preinstall
add the following line: export ORACLE_SID=<whatever you named it during install>
My machine read as this: export ORACLE_SID=oral
At this point I strongly suggest you logg out from Oracle Account and re-log again
Then edit this file: /etc/oratab
and change: *:/home/oracle/product/8.1.7:N To *:/home/oracle/product/8.1.7:Y
Now you can use dbstart and dbshut scripts from the command mode to start and stop the database.
most likely when you try to start the database for the first time you will receive
the error: ORA-01081<you can't star database is already startet>
Then go to svrmgrl and connect internal and type: shutdown Abort
re-start your Database and you are ready to go!!!!!!
Hope that is help

Can any one help me. I tried to install Oracel 8.1.5 on RedHat Linux 7.0 and failed.

I am running my system with RedHat Linux 7.0 and tried to install Oracle 8.1.5.
I extracted jre required files and when i tried to start ./runIns.sh from install/linux directory it is giving me an error Unable to initalize threads: cannot find class Java/lang/Thread
Could not create JVM
i tried 3 times and i ended up here and i need instruction to sort out the problem as earlier as possible.pls do advice me in this.
pls send the solution ASAP to my email id - ([email protected])

Make sure you have IBM's Java 1.1.8 JRE/JDK installed on your server and $JAVA_HOME set. Check the Oracle installation instructions. One other problem with Red Hat 7.0. is that
there is a libc library incompatibility problem with Red Hat linux 7.0 and Oracle 8i. The database will not start after you install it. Go to MetaLink (if you have support) and search for document # 121176.1. Basically, you have to download an older version of glibc, modify your Oracle link environment files, re-link the database executables and all will work normally. I did it on my Red Hat Linux 7.0 server two weeks ago and everything is working fine. Only other alternative is downgrade to Red Hat 6.2.

Netasst on Redhat 6.1
