OBIEE install problem on Windows 2008 R2 64bit server

Hi!
I have for 1 month struggled with a OBIEE 11g install on a Windows 2008 R2 64 bit server. (I have a open SR at Oracle but have not got any answer/suggestion for 2 weeks)
I follow these documentations:
Oracle® Fusion Middleware
Installation Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
E10539-01
and
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#CIHDJGIH
Specially chapter 4.4.4 for the moment, cant get pass step "Specify Installation Location"
First did I run RCU against our Oracle 11g database and created the schemas for BI Publisher
Then did I install JRockIT - jrockit-jdk1.6.0_26-R28.1.4-4.0.1-windows-x64.exe
Then from JRockIT installed WLS_1035 generic.
Then configure AdminServer so thatone is up and running (even installed a HTML server from E1 to check if WLS is up and running and working)
Then start the installer (Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.5.0, for Microsoft Windows x86-64-bit) disk 1, setup.exe, then must I choose "software only" install. But on step 3 och 9 can I not press next, the installer says that I do not have any "Application Server" running. I have installed on E:\Oracle\Middleware but the installer can not see any application there, but I can access it thru a browser.
Tests I have done,
Install loopback adapter
Deinstall loopback
Deactivated everything but IPV4 protocoll (we have also IPV6 on all server).
Verified that we have static ip on the server
Tried installer for BIP (OBIEE) with WLS AdminServer running and without have it running.
And checked the installer logs everytime, no errors, no warning.
Is there anyone how can guide me or give some tips? I am getting frustrated after 4 weeks without success.
Best regards,
Anders

Hi!
It is the installer who not working properly, when using the "Browse", I had to choose a comletly wrong place first, and then again choose the correct installation path, after that would the understand where I wanted to install.
Best regards,
Anders

Weblogic 10.3.5 Install Failing on Windows 2008 R2 64bit Shared Drive

I am attempting to install Weblogic 10.3.5 on a Windows 2008 R2 64bit machine.
This will be part of a scaled out OBIEE environment.
As per Oracle's instructions (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#BIEIG2028) I am attempting to install the Middleware Home Directory to a shared drive (DFS).
When I get past the "Choose Product Installation Directories" I get a "Insufficient Disk Space" error saying there's 0 MB available on my shared drive, which is clearly not the case.
I have verified that I have full access to the shared directory.
I have also tried with several other non-DFS directories.
Tried with java version 1.6.0_24 Oracle JRockit build R28.1.3-11-141760-1.6.0)24-20110301-1430-windows-x86_64
Tried with java version 1.6.0)24 64-bit server (no JRockit)
All with the same results.
I've seen some people post about getting the same error in Mac installs where the solution was to specify -d64 on the commandline, but this is not in the windows 1.6 JDK. I tried -server, but got the same results.
I've also seen some people post about getting the same error in Unix installs where the solution is to point to a different version of df which is used to check space on the file system.
I have yet to find a solution in Windows 2008 64bit that applies to me.
Any ideas?

I was able to get around this by installing from the jar using the -Dspace.detection=false option

Hi.
I think I solved this yesterday. We got 1 printserver, with an alias, which we had this problem to connect to. I noticed that there is a difference between x86 and 64bits system entries in the registry...
When you are having a 64bit system, you must use REG_QWORD instead of REG_DWORD, REG_DWORD is only to be used in x86 system! See below.
Windows 2008 server R2 64-bit
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
= ”DnsOnWire” = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters
= DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_QWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v DisableStrictNameChecking /t REG_QWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters\
REG_SZ = OptionalNames = “aliasname” (C-name record in DNS)
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v OptionalNames /t REG_SZ)
Windows 2008 server x86
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print = "DnsOnWire" = REG_DWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\print /v DnsOnWire /t REG_DWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Lanmanserver\Parameters = DisableStrictNameChecking = REG_DWORD Decimal = 1
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v DisableStrictNameChecking /t REG_DWORD /d 1)
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanManServer\Parameters\ REG_SZ = OptionalNames = “aliasname”
(C-name record in DNS)
(reg add hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters /v OptionalNames /t REG_SZ)
Don't forget to reboot your system after these changes!

Cannot install SP1 on Windows 2008 R2 64bit 0x800f0826

Hello,
I'm having an error when I'm trying to deploy service pack 1 of Windows Server 2008 R2.
I tryed install the SP1 in a workgroup machine and the results were successful.
But when I'm trying to install in my Domain it doesn't work, I think that some GPO or registry keys are modified on their permission.
So I removed the machine from the Domain and again try install the SP1 but doesn't work either.
I think that some GPO removes permission on some files and folders.
What permissions in files or folder should I have to successful deploy of Service Pack 1 on a Windows 2008 in my Domain?
Thanks in advice.

Hi Ramesh,
I followed your instructions and found that there are 2 updates that were not allowing the installation of several updates that were pending.
But the Service Pack 1 of Windows 2008 R2 does not install correctly either, I always get the same error described above.
I was reviewing the CBS.log I found this information:

It appears the driver may be any device or update any software installed that is causing the problem.
We have uninstalled. Net Framework but the behavior is the same, you can not install SP1.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How to install clusterware on windows 2008 R2 64bit

Hello all,
As you know at otn there is only 10.2.0.4 clusterware setup for windows2008.
I want to install oracle clusterware on 2008R2. I know that there is a patchset 10.2.0.5 for windows 2008R2.
But before using it I must have alredy binary setup for oracle. (I assume)
So when I trying to setup clusterware on 2008R2 I got error
OUI-35073: Exception occured while starting service in the remote nodes. Could not start the service 'OracleClusterVolumeService' in the remote cluster
So I want to know , Is there any way to apply patch to setup files ? So I can install clusterware.
Or how can I install clusterware on 2008R2

Hi,
Do not install Oracle Database/Clusterware 10g Release 2 on Windows Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, 7 or Vista using the 10.2.0.1 version. You must use the 10.2.0.4 (64-bit) x64 version specifically created for these operating systems. After installation, for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, patchset 10.2.0.5 or higher must be applied.

There will be a new version of the Standalone CHM/OS for Windows that will work with 11.2.0.2 and earlier versions available on OTN in the near future. The older version that you are using has not been tested and due to the infrastructure changes in 11.2 it is not expected it will work. The integrated CHM/OS that is included as part of the 11.2.0.3 GI installation does work as does the new GUI (CHMOSG) now available for download.

11g GC Installation Problem on Windows 2008

Hi All
I am facing a problem installing 11GC on Windows 2008. The installer will not get past "Step 12 - Agent Configuration Assistant" - it shows as FAILED.
My setup is as following:
- GCSERVER: where I am installing GC - Windows 2008 R1 32-bit (Actually a VMware VM)
- DBSERVER: where em repository db resides - Windows 2008 R1 64-bit (Physical Server)
The steps I have followed:
- Created a new database called emrep111 (11.1.0.7) on DBSERVER
- Installed WL Server (10.3.2) on GCSERVER
- Run GC 11.1.0.1.0 for Win32 on GCSERVER and then get error
I have to cancel the installation at this stage, however, I would have expected by the time it gets to this stage it would have done the important stuff, however, when I browse to the EM URL I get "Backend WLS or EM application seems to be down".
If anyone has any experience of 11g GC on Windows I would be grateful if you have any advice on Troubleshooting this problem.
Regards
Alan

Hi All,
a short intermediate result:
Oracle Support is working on the problem. Today they asked me to perform the following action:

Windows 2008 R2 (64Bit) RDS & SRWC 2.2- Session Mobility

Hello,
I am experiencing some problems with the latest SunRay Software 5 (with SRWC 2.2) and Windows 2008 R2 (64Bit) in a terminal server farm situation. The setup is configured to use RDS Session Broker (the customer is not using MS NLB).
The actual problem is with Session Mobility, if a user logs into a DTU with their card they get their remote desktop session as expected, if the user then attempts to remove their card and walk over to another DTU the session does not reconnect. For a split second you see their desktop (or their locked user screen on the terminal server) before the session on the new DTU goes black (you can see the Microsoft mouse cursor). The same experience can be found when the user connects to a DTU then attempts to log in via the Sun Ray PC Client.
If the user removes their card, then returns to the same DTU where the session was initiated from, the session resumes as expected.
To rectify, I have been terminating the sessions form the SRSS web admin which forces the user to log into the terminal server again, not ideal.
From what i have been reading, 2008 R2 uses RDP 6 and there may be a possibility that SRWC 2.2 does not support this protocol yet??
Can anyone assist me with this issue?
Cheers,
Ben

Thanks for your quick reply!
Can you please give me some back ground on this known issue so I may better understand it. From memory the -0 option is a hot desking function and relates to the way the SRWC interacts with the term serv licensing??
Also, what option can you not use with the -0 option?

Oracle Client version (32 or 64 bit) to install on a Windows 2008 64-bit m/

Hi guys,
I am installing BOXI 3.1 SP2 on a Windows 2008 64-bit server.
Which Oracle 10g client (32 or 64 bit) should I install on a 64-bit software. I know BO is native 32 bit, so ODBCs should be 32 bit incase CMS repositories are on SQL server.
Is there a standard for Business Objects for the versions of database client tools to be installed on server?
Also can we install database clients tools after the Business Objects 3.1 SP2 install on the server, provided I am using SQL server dbs for CMS and Audit databases?
Thanks,
G Bala

@Duncan
You recommend using 32 bit Oracle client. Is there any official documents from SAP BO stating this? I have difficulties finding anything. I'm in the same situation:
OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
BO : 32bit
Oracle Client : 32bit OR 64bit?????
Is BO 32bit compatible with Oracle Client 64bit, at the level of using Infoview/Desktop Intelligence?

Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

Installing Dirsync on Windows 2008 Server Standard FE

Hello all,
I need to Dirsync my only domain controller i have to Office 365. My server is a Windows 2008 Server Standard FE. I installed all requirement for dirsync to be installed (and all Windows updates also) and i still get an error when trying to install
(Says my Powershell is not at least 2.0, but it is...)
Anyone tried to install Dirsync on that kind of server ? (and made it work?)
Regards,

It is
required to update to Windows Management Framework 3.0 or Powershell 3.0 if you are installing DirSync on Windows 2008 R2. I believe the same applies to 2008 SP1 as well.
Also, I've heard of issues where non-English versions don't properly detect the presence of PowerShell. You may want to temporarily change your regional format to English to test this, if this applies to you.

Which Oracle client to use? with CRS2008 on Windows 2008 R2 64bit

Hi,
We are setting up a standalone Crystal Reports 2008 Server on Windows 2008 R2 64bit. This server will serve some reports that will pull data from an Oracle 11g DB. Several Oracle 10g/11g, (32bit or 64bit) DB client has been tried, but CRS cannot connect to the oracle DB using any of them. Which oracle client is known to be working well on this setup?
CRS 2008 <> Windows 2008 R2 64 bit <> Xeon E5600 series machine
Thanks,
Steve

Hello,
CRS2008 v1 supports Oracle 9.2, 10g R1, 10G R2 and 11g R1.
The client to use on those version are the same as the server meaning if you have a 11g R1 server then you can use an Oracle Net Client 11G R1. But you can use also a JDBC, ODBC, OLEDB Oracle 11G R1.
If you have a CRS2008 v0, then Oracle 11G is not supported. Only 9.2, 10g R1 and 10G R2.
I hope this will help you
Regards,
Philippe

ODBC 10gR2 64bit Windows 2008 EE (64bits) to to sql server 2005 (32bits)

Hi all, I am having trouble with creating an ODBC connection from 10gR2 64bits Windows 2008 to sql server 2005 Win 2003 32 bits
1. I create a listener.ora like the following the port 1521 is for oracle DB and the 1522 is for sql server
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
SID_LIST_HSODBC_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = hsodbc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
HSODBC_LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1522))
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
2. my tnsnames.ora looks like
PRUEBA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = local host)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = prueba)
HSODBC =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=HSODBC))
(HS=OK)
3. I created an inithsodbc.ora like this
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = hsodbc
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
4. I have configure also the dns system and tested succesfully.
5. My database link look likes
CREATE public DATABASE LINK "hsodbc"
CONNECT TO "sysdba" IDENTIFIED BY "masterkey" USING 'hsodbc';
6. When I run my select I get the following error
select * from dual@hsodbc
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from HSODBC
7. I look and the listener_hsodbc log
14-APR-2011 08:14:49 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=HSODBC)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=DOMAINSERVER\SERVER_PRO)(USER=Administrator))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=51749)) * establish * HSODBC * 12518
TNS-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00530: Protocol adapter error
64-bit Windows Error: 2: No such file or directory

Ok I follow the note 1086365.1 How to Setup DG4MSQL (Database Gateway for MS SQL Server) on a 64bit Windows
1. Modify my listener it looks like this
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = dg4msql)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraGtw11g\product\11.2.0\tg_1)
(PROGRAM = dg4msql)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = C:\oraGtw11g\product\11.2.0\tg_1
LISTENER_D4GMSQL =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1511))
ADR_BASE_LISTENER_D4GMSQL = C:\oraGtw11g\product\11.2.0\tg_1
2. modify the tnsnames.ora
dg4msql =
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1511))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql))
(HS=OK)
3. modify the initdg4msql.ora file
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=bsaleslogix,1433//FPDB
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
Then I reload de listener and test via tnsping dg4msql, this test turn ok, also test via tnsping the conection to the database is ok
4. create the db link
CREATE DATABASE LINK sqlserver
CONNECT TO "sy" IDENTIFIED BY "mas" USING 'dg4msql';
5 . when i execute the select
SELECT * FROM DUAL@SQLSERVER
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Unable to retrieve text of NETWORK/NCR message 65535
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from SQLSERVER
6. the listener_dg4msl shows an TNS-12505 error while conecting to the SID
