OAS 4.08 on Linux Instal

Is there a Howto paper on installing the OAS on a RH6.1 system.
I also wanted to know what the minimum HW requirements would be for a system running JAVA Servlets?
null

The Linux installation documentation is avalilable in the one of the directory (look for index.htm) TAR file which is available on the web site. Regarding the JDK kit, I downloaded from the IBM site and installed it using rpm. The installation went through but I am unable to bring up PL/SQL Cartridge(wrksf process). Good luck for your installation. If you have a solution for Cartridge server, please let me know.

OAS 4.0.8.1 Install Cookbook Available?

Does anyone have a cookbook, similar to the one Oracle (eventually) provided for Oracle 8i Install For Linux, for an OAS 4.0.8.1 Linux Install? Yes, I've read the Installation Guide that comes with the software and found it to be rather confusing. (So was the provided Installation Guide for 8i, hence the need for a cookbook).
For example, the Pre-Installation section talks about setting the TNS_ADMIN env. variable (for remote databases only, which is me) to the location of the tnsnames.ora file. Is this the tnsnames.ora file that will exist on the local machine (same one as OAS)? If so, how do I know where that's going to be? I haven't installed anything yet.
To boot, it goes on to say "Your database is remote if either of the following is true:
- Choose network Ports"
I'd say there was something definitely missing there.
It also talks later about reconfiguring the kernel before installing if you need to increase the nofiles and/or processes limits. Since my RH6 install only allows 256 processes, I'll need to up this, right? Is it just me or is reconfiguring the kernel always glossed over as if it were a simple task when, in fact, it could be the most complex configuration you'll ever do in Linux?

Hi,
If anyone knows causes and or fixes to this can they post solution with the title of
FIX WRKSF TIMEOUT please. There seems to a few of us out here who would much appreciate it.
bye for now

Launching Wizards in Oracle 11G on Linux install

Hi,
Just wondering if someone can tell me where the wizard launches are located in the Linux install.
Thanks,
Zach

Hans,
I have heard them referred to in different ways,
Configuration assistance, Wizards, etc. Say if I
didnt want to create a database by command line. I
wanted to walk through "Configuration Assistant" and
choose defaults for the quick and easy setup. No worries. Using the correct terminology gets the right answer faster, and the wrong terminology simply means that we have to test and verify the question. Always works that way.
One definition of professional is 'a person who knows the right name for the tools'. Based on that, I've known come amateurs who are much better than the pros.
I would like to figure out where to launch the
"Configuration Assistant" that might let me do that.
I know in Windows environment, they are located right
in the Oracle start menu. Actually, if you took a moments gander you might have noticed that the 'Start Menu' is nothing more than a set of shortcuts. There is literally no program 'In' the Start Menu.
Right clicking on the Start Menu shortcut and looking at the properties would tell you the name of the Assistant and that it is located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
And the nice thing about Oracle is that the names are pretty much the same in Linux, Unix and Windows (and others as well) Due to historic silliness, Windows needs a .exe at the end of the file name, so in Windows it is netca.exe and in Linux it's netca ... and so on.

Failure to install CD 3 of Linux install set

Downloaded four zip files from the following location:
http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
Unzipped them to the ISO files and then burned the four CDs - no problem and the CDs were validated as okay. During the install CD1 - no problem, CD2 - no problem, CD3- problem - wrong CD was the error message. So redownloaded, unzipped, and reburned CD3. Redo and precisely the same error.
THEN went to the following location and downloaded the five ISO images from here and burned the corresponding CDs.
http://linux.us.oracle.com/isofs/RedHat/RHEL4/i386/ES/U4
Burned the five CDs and they validated as okay. Install - CD1 - no problem, CD2 - no problem, CD3- problem - wrong CD was the error message. Precisely the same thing as above.
THEN - took both sets of CDs, and instead of my home machine I took them to an ed center and attempted the install on a spare machine and get exactly the same errors as above.
What is going on - seems like it always CD3 (regardless of the number of CDs) that croaks - how do I get Linux installed?
THANKS for any help - Ken Cooper

Did any of you ever solve this problem ? -
I have same issue with CD 3, no matter what I try it claims to be unable to read the darn thing !
The packages it has failed on so far is XDELTA / ZSH / SENDMAIL - all from CD3
I have tried burning a new CD3 copy -> same thing.
I changed the CD drive of the server. Dunno why it would accept CD1 and CD2 but not CD3 - anyway it didnt work either !
Tried using both CD's in another PC and was able to extract and view the faulted packages without a glitch !?!
I'm lost for clues . . .
Now i'll try fetching the CD3 again and burn a third copy....
And then i'll try to choose to few things that it might not need cd3.
If that also fails i'll throw everything away and ask them to use MySQL or MSSQL :)
Is there any way to copy the stuff to harddisk and run install from there !?
- just point me to the manual if I overlooked that possibility :) ?

Linux Install Problem

Hello,
I hope I'm in the right forum.
I have tried a triple boot on my macbook (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP504)
- extra partition for Win7 and Linux - installed rEFIt - Windows installation without problems.
But the Linux install fails.
(Tried to install with openSuse 11.3) The CD booted normally. But after I clicked on the "install"-Button, a green screen appears and nothing moves. I've also tried to install Ubuntu (10.4 LTS) but after the CD booted, a black screen appears and the screen is frozen.
After that I decided to reinstall my OSX, perhaps it helps. But that doesn't solve the problem.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me,
Max

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out on my own. Something to do with
specifying the directory or changing the current directory, I forget exactly which.

Linux Install Podcast does Arch

The last two episodes of the Linux Install Podcast covers the installation of Arch Linux. I'm not what you'd call an expert, and I make mistakes, well, I make a lot of mistakes. But I do manage to get Arch installed with X. I get wireless working with a rt61 based wireless card and I get my ati radeon xpress 1100 working with both the open source and the proprietary drivers. Anyone interested in hearing someone fumble through an Arch install can get the podcast from: http://thelip.net

Arch can give you what you want (so can Debian and Gentoo), but the two most important criteria for a lightweight system are: 1: install and load only what you want, and 2: when you have an option, go for the less resource hungry solution (MPD vs Amarok, for example).
P.S.: I use both a custom kernel and the stock kernel on my netbook. Both load with same ram usage (as only required modules are loaded by udev), just the install size vary as the custom kernel is stripped down for the modules that I really need. What makes the difference is not kernel really, but what you load afterwards. My netbook loads xorg, openbox and some lightweight eye-candy like conky, wbar, etc immediately after booting up, the ram usage at the beginning of session is ~60 megs (only!).

Official Arch Linux Install Guide needs edit

Aloha,
This line in the Official Arch Linux Install Guide

Hum, well I don't know how to write a git patch. I guess it would be a good thing to learn though, but I have to go to bed now.
Hum..., after further looking at the this forums section I guess I posted in a totally wrong place Live and learn.

I appreciate advice heter

the rpm package, system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el5.0.1.noarch.rpm is not in the first disk,but in second ISO file.
.../Enterprise-R5-U1-Server-x86_64-disc2.iso/Server/system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el5.0.1.noarch.rpm
so you need change to second ISO file. or you may download EL5.1 DVD,and need not switch iso file since all rpm packages in one ISO file.

No display after linux install on Satellite A100

Hi All,
On the weekend I decided to install linux on an extended partition on my toshiba satellite a100. I did a fresh install of windows from the recovery cd and everything worked fine. I then installed linux on an extended partition and my computer displays nothing when starting up - (the LCD has a back-light) and I get all the beeps and it reads from CD's etc. The strange thing is that I can plug it into an external monitor and it works fine. When I start it up with an external monitor I can then switch to the LCD and I get a display but it is very slow and has many imperfections.
I have updated the bios, installed the latest graphics drivers (ati) but still have no improvement. Since the linux install I have removed the extended partition and installed windows from the recovery cd again (still not improvement).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can try next?
Thank you in advanced for your help.

You ask what you can do??
Delete and format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS from the recovery CD.
If you want to use the Linux, I would recommend using a Knoppix. You can get it on the Live CD and its not necessary to install it on the HDD.

Computer freezes before BIOS after arch linux install

This is my first time installing arch linux, I followed the beginners install guide word for word. However, after the install, my computer gets stuck before the BIOS. It identifies the RAM, GPU, and harddrive (all Diagnostic lights are ok on my MOBO). Before the install it booted fine, but now when I boot it up it wont go to the BIOS screen no matter how many times I press delete. However, when I remove the harddrive it boots to the arch linux install screen on my USB drive perfectly.
I know it is not my hardware because I did many different tests (mem-test, swapped out harddrives, tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots, etc). More importantly, my harddrive is brand new so I know it isn't dead because I could partition it when I was installing arch linux.
Computer specs:
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
DFI LANPARTY nf4-d
ATI Radeon x800
2 GB DDR RAM
160 GB SSD
I have no idea what the problem is, I must have screwed something up with the bootloader or something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try clearing the CMOS settings either by removing the motherboard battery for some minutes or by using the relevant jumper on the motherboard. Check the manual of your motherboard for details.

OAS 4.0.8.1 for Linux Install (orainst) failure

First of all, I couldn't
$ ./orainst
like the (misplaced) installation notes said. That returned a:
bash: ./orainst: No such file or directory
Instead, I tried:
$ . ./orainst
but got:
: command not found
bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'elif'
'ash: ./orainst: line 74: `elif [ -f "$RCFILE2" ]; then
Any ideas?

After I fixed some of the things I broke while searching for the wrksf failure, the PL/SQL Cartridge now works for me too. And, after failing to get the DB Browser to work by loading it into the SCOTT schema, I got it to work by loading it into SYS. (SCOTT can't see the DBA_* views so loading the DB Browser into the database failed.) I haven't tried any Java Servlets yet, but that's next on my list.
If you want to try my wrksf workaround, rather than using Christoph's, here's how you can do it.
1. Backup liborb.so in the $ORACLE_HOME/orb/4.0/lib directory, just in case something goes wrong.
2. Using a hex editor, such as emacs hexl-find-file or ghex, to edit liborb.so, find the string "/proc/stat".
3. Change the directory, "/proc" to something like "/pfoo" and write the shared library file back to liborb.so. You now have the required modified liborb.so.
4. Make the /pfoo directory and cp /proc/stat /pfoo.
5. Edit /pfoo/stat and duplicate the first line, which should be the cpu line. This will let the metrics parser handle it. Make sure that /pfoo/stat has read access.
Of course, the values that the metrics code gets are now bogus, but that does not seem to be a fatal problem.
Hopefully somebody from Oracle is reading this and the real fix will be in the mail soon.

Registering Apache 1.3.4 with OAS 407 on RedHat Linux 5.2

Hi ,
     First of all please check availability of your OS + DB requiremnts whether it is supported by SAP or not.You can check this at Product Availability Matrix at ::
http://service.sap.com/pam
     If this support for your environment i.e.RedHat Linux 5.2 with Oracle 10G then be informed that after starting sapinst in step create database it will prompt you for installing your oracle DB. So open a new window & install your databse ,do the patching of your DB & then continue with sapinst after successfull installation of oracle.Rest of details sapinst will prompot you during instal;lation.
    Hope this will guide you for your query.
Thanks..

How to create Dev, Test and UAT environment of OAS 10g on single Linux box

Hi
According to Paul's forms/reports installation thread, i installed standalone versions of Forms & Reports (10.1.2.0.2)services on Linux suse 9. And it is working fine.
Now my next requirement is that i want to create three environment on my Linux box dev, test and UAT. this one which i have created before i am using that environment as dev.
Kindly provide me some direction that how can i create test and UAT environment on same machine which should point to different source files and databses.
1. Do i need to install again standalone forms/reports services twice? if yes then how can i access them?
2. Is there any setting in existing OAS configuration which can divert me to different sources and databases. i saw something like this somewhere
http://oas.com:7777/forms90/f90servlet?config=UAT&userid=cg_am2/training@tardist
bla bla bla.
Please help.
JM

Hi
Yes if your server has the resources (CPU and memory) of doing so the best thing to do would be to install Dev , Test and UAT in three different ORACLE_HOMES with different port numbers for the Oracle HTTP Server to listen on. There is however a non-technical point to install the UAT environment on a seperate box or to do the UAT testing when Dev and Test processes are not running otherwise this will blur the results of the UAT tests. Create different environment files to source these installations. You could even install three separate standalone webcaches in their own ORACLE_HOME in front of these environments. Keepin mind though that it would be better for availability, ease of management it would be better to install your environments on separate boxes. The config=UAT in the URL points to a forms service for an application called UAT I guess. Unless you have only one application in all the environments you could create forms applications in one ORACLE_HOME, but you would end up with just one environment instead of three. Going for the option where you install the environments on different boxes will save you a lot of headaches.
cheers

Linux install server and solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).You can install using the keyboard with jumpstart. Without jumpstart you'd need local media (you can't enter the OS via the keyboard).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers
ERROR: bpgetfile unable to access network
/sbin/install-discovery: information: not foundHmm. That looks like the image file is corrupt. Can you pull the image from media again? Can you see if there's a /sbin/install-discovery file in the image (usually under Tools/Boot/root). I recall there used to be a problem with that file.
Linux box setup:
/etc/bootparams
solaris root=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot rootopts=rsize=32768 boottype=:in install=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos_install/Solaris_10/Product sysid_config=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos_install/jumpstart/sysidcfg install_config=192.168.2.10:/home/sunos_install/jumpstart/jumpstart.confIf you just want an interactive install (prompt for configuration/settings), you don't need sysid_config or install_config. Those are for automated installations.
TFTP setup from /tftpboot:
[root@robert tftpboot]# ll
total 232
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jun 10 13:55 C0A80214 -> inetboot
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 221280 Jun 10 13:47 inetboot
The Openboot can get ahold of the inetboot file and downloads and it and then loads it.
The following directories are exported through NFS
[root@robert sunos_install]# cat /etc/exports
#/home/nfs 192.168.2.0/24(ro,sync)
/home/sunos *(ro,no_root_squash)
/home/sunos_install *(ro,no_root_squash)
[root@robert tftpboot]# showmount -e localhost
Export list for localhost:
/home/sunos *
/home/sunos_install *That looks pretty good.
You do have the option of running VMware on linux, and putting a Solaris 10 image on it, then using that VM as your boot server. But the problem you're displaying doesn't appear to be related to the linux server.
