OIm11g Upgrade OIM Middile Tier ua utility hanged

Hi All,
We have upgraded oim 9.1.0.2 to oim 11g 11.1.1.5 in our Dev environment, But when we try this in our QA environment, its hanged when run ua to Upgrade OIM Middile tier. There is no error messages in logs (@ TRACE level). We followed the following link for upgradation
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/upgrade_oim.htm#CACGJAGG
We are getting this issue at task 12 (13.14 Task 12: Use Upgrade Assistant to Upgrade Oracle Identity Manager Middle Tier).
OIm is in progress state for this upgradation state at OIM91UPG.USER level. we got this information by running the query :select feature_id, feature_upgrade_state, is_feature_upgraded from upgrade_feature_state;
Can you please suggest on this.
Thanks.

Its solved, Actually it took 8 hours to complete then task. The same task took 10-20 mins in DEV. We are expecting the reason might be the DB and App server locations are different (there it took 8 hours), locations are same where it took 20 mins.
Thanks.

  • Disk Warrior/Disk Utility Hangs with External HD

    okay, so i will try to make this as quick as possible.
    last year, i had an external hard drive that i had been saving all my audio work on. one day i had to restart (i was having a lot of problems with my then IBook G4) so i did, and the drive was no where to be found. made sure there was no connection problems (ie my USB ports) and everything seemed fine. let it sit for a while, thinking maybe it was just tired or something. tried again, same story, and it also made disk utility hang. tried it on a friends mac, same issue.
    i also had a a lot of video/music that i watched with my xbox 360. i could still access those files with the xbox, which was weird.
    so then my ibook eventually died, and here i am with a newer G5 quad. i tried it again, and still the disk utility hangs, and ive also tried Disk warrior 4. this also hangs.
    also, i have tried switching the enclosure to no avail.
    its not the end of the world if i cant get the data back, but i would REALLY like to.
    any suggestions?

    System Profiler shows the same thing: "Manufacturer: PI-236" for each of these HDs. I'm not sure how to rename these drives (I'm not talking about the partitions on them, which I've given descriptive names).
    The strange thing is that on my MacBook Air (upgraded to Lion) one of these HDs (now connected via USB) shows up in Disk Utility as "Ext Hard Disk Media" instead of "PI-236". Still not a whole lot of information, you'll notice.
    Another external HD (partitioned earlier under Snow Leopard) is shown correctly as "SAMSUNG HD501LJ Media" on both computers.

    OIM : 9.1.0.1
    Platform : Microsoft Windows XP
    Then, I have download the patch : p8484010_9102_Generic and followed necessary documents to upgrade OIM 9.1.0.1 to 9.1.0.2.
    Patch installation was successful. While restarting the server we are encountering servlet exception, Nexaweb deployment ends up in failure.
    Error Details

  • Disk utility hangs MAC G4?

    Why does Disk Utility hang when starting? ~ Doug

    Hi, Doug.
    A little more detail on how you are launching Disk Utility on the stated "G4" would help. Some more details about the specific G4, and the problems that may have led to you attempting to run Disk Utility on it would also be useful.
    Try running steps 1-2 of the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
    Good luck!

  • Disk Utility hangs ("not responding") when attempting to Repair Disk on Time Capsule sparsebundle.  Help.

    I am trying to improve the performance of my Time Machine backup and retrievals via my 2nd Gen. Time Capsule from my iMac Core 2 Duo hard drive with SL 10.6.8.  The incremental backups generally take 20 - 40 minutes each hour generally with fewer than 100 MB of data being backed up.  I have read through numerous threads on these forums about Time Capsule and Time Machine issues as well as the very helpful Pondini site (http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Home.html) and have tried many other suggestions (listed below), but have been unable to attempt a Disk Utility repair disk on the Time Capsule sparsebundle file.
    After locating the sparsebundle 'file' in the finder under Shared/TC/Data, I am only sometimes able to drag the sparsebundle into the Disk Utility volumes and disk window.  About fifty percent of the time, Disk Utility hangs when attempting to drag in the sparsebundle.  If I am able to get it listed and click on "repair disk", then the beach ball begins to spin and nothing happens.  This occurs whether or not I first use AirPort Utility to "Disconnect All Users" from the Time Capsule.  I have given it over one hour to attempt the repair disk, but nothing happens, i.e., not a single message shows up in the detail window.  The beach ball just spins, and Disk Utility shows up in red as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.
    Also note that on my new Macbook Air, Time Machine runs quite quickly via this same Time Capsule from my new Macbook Air using OS X Lion (which seems to indicate that the Time Capsule drive itself is OK).
    I would appreciate any tips on getting Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my sparsebundle, as I seem to have exhausted most other options (see below) for improving Time Capsule performance -- aside of course, from wiping the Time Capsule clean and starting all over.... (which I really don't want to do, and from what I've read, has not helped some people who've tried this anyway).
    Many thanks!
    Although I would like to focus this thread on the Disk Utility / sparsebundle "Repair Disk" problem, I should mention that I have tried the following other things:
    1.  Repaired disk permissions on my hard drive
    2.  Used Disk Utility to run "repair disk" on my hard drive after starting up from a SuperDuper external backup
    3.  Run DiskWarrior on my hard drive, again, from a separate startup disk
    4.  Did the "full reset of Time Machine", a la Pondini Troubleshooting #A4
    5.  Changed my computer and Time Capsule names to simple short names with only alphanumeric characters and no spaces
    6.  Ensured that my Time Capsule is being accessed only via ethernet
    7.  Relaunched the finder
    8.  And finally, attempting to use Disk Utility to repair the sparsebundle - thus the nature of this post

    OK, no takers out there, but I answered my own question (sort of).
    The answer is that even though Disk Utility shows up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu and appears to hang, it is actually still working.  A bit of patience shows that after about an hour, my Disk Utility was able to show the 1.44 TB Time Machine sparsebundle from Time Capsule in the disk window on the left hand side.  Once this appeared, I was able to click on "Repair Disk" (note that prior to doing this, I had to "Disconnect All Users" from my Time Capsule using the Airport Utility program; otherwise you will get a "could not unmount disk" error).  Again, the Repair Disk function appeared to hang Disk Utility as it showed up as "not responding" under the Force Quit menu.  However, after about 8 hours, Disk Utility did run the entire Repair Disk protocol on the sparsebundle.  The results DO NOT show up in the Disk Utility details window - so even if you are patient enough to let it complete, you will not see anything and may think that nothing happened.  However, you can find the familiar results of the Repair Disk function by looking on Console - find the "DiskUtility.log" under Files: ˜/Library/Logs.
    Unfortunately, I was hoping to find a problem that would have been subsequently repaired which would result in dramatically increased Time Capsule speed, but this was not the case.  Disk Utility showed everything to be "OK" and I am stuck with a very slow Time Capsule....
    (And of note, my new Macbook Air (OS Lion) Time Machine functions blazingly fast on both backup and retrieval to and from the very same Time Capsule - even though, these are occuring wirelessly via AirPort -- granted the size of this sparsebundle is an order of magnitude smaller at this point, i.e., only 10 GB right now)
    Would still be happy to hear of any similar experiences or tips on getting Time Capsule to work more quickly.

  • Disk Utility Hangs during format

    Yes, I've seen a hundred other posts on this but all have been archived with no solution.
    It seems very likely there is a 10.4 problem. When I try to format a 160GB drive connected via USB Disk Utility hangs and never completes. I have tried to partition it as well with no luck.
    Is there a fix? Is Apple working on the problem? Is there a workaround? Even a commandline fix would be acceptable.

    This is ridiculous. I have tried 4 different physical drives in 4 different physical enclosures (3 different brands) and it still hangs Disk Utility.
    I know I'm not the only one with this problem. What the **** is going on? I can't format a disk and therefore I can't use it. This is absolutely unacceptable.
    Sometimes my machine hangs in such a way that I can't even reboot it, it requires a physical power down.
    I have been forced to format these on a Windows machine with FAT32 (using a 3rd party app to get past the GB limitation MS sets). I don't want FAT32, I want HFS+. But I can find no other way to do this in Tiger as it ALWAYS hangs regardless of drive, enclosure, filesystem type, size, number of partitions, etc, etc.
    Is OS X truly this bad that it can't even format a drive properly? Am I really going to have to rely on Windows and FAT32 whenever I want to format?

  • Disk utility hangs during disk verify

    Initially 'disk verify' registered errors on exit - minor error/issue it said,some kind of header problem, so I ran disk utility off the install disk. Now the machine's native version of disk utility hangs during disk verify, blue & white spirals forever.
    This coincidentally straight after my gmail/google address/account was hacked a couple of days ago.

    Have you tried booting in SafeBoot mode (shift key held on start
    until login screen appears) then launch Disk Utility and then run
    its 'repair disk permissions' item, selecting the Macintosh HD;
    and then note the repair window. It should fix something.
    And when Disk Utility is done, quit it, and restart the Mac normally.

    And when booted from the Installer disk and running Disk Utility
    from there, see about running "repair disk" and not verify. The
    repair choice will verify; but verify will not repair. Could be if
    you cannot use the Utility to Repair the issues, and the other
    SafeBoot mode and the computer's Disk Utility to get it working
    you may need to further troubleshoot and/or get third-party tools.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Disk Utility hangs up

    Running a G5 IMac with 10.5.1. Tried to repair permissions and Disk Utility hangs up at about 25% of the way through the process. Ran Disk Warrior. Still hangs up. Started up form Leopard Install and tried to repair permissions. Still hangs up. Otherwise the system seems to be running OK. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Disk Warrior is NOT compatible with Leopard at this time.
    I would not use my Disk Warrior.
    Permissions take from 10 to 30 minutes with 10.5.1
    Give it time.
    It seems like it just sits there on "Less than 1 minute" but it will eventually finish.
    Again, give it time.

  • Disk Utility hangs attempting to erase SimpleTech 100gb external USB disk

    I'm attempting to erase and format a SimpleTech 100gb external USB disk. Disk Utility hangs. The system error log says:
    "AppleUSBEHCI[0x1d59000]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 91, timing out!
    Jul 21 17:30:35 Kari-Hohnbaums-Computer-2 kernel[0]: USBF:"
    The console log (and Disk Utility log) shows:
    Preparing to erase : “PBEX1”
    Creating Partition Map
    error writing partition map: Device not configured (6)
    Disk Erase failed with the error:
    What is the problem? This disk is recognized by Tiger but only as read-only as it ships as an NTFS volume and must be erased and reformatted before it can be used by a MAC.
    All help appreciated.

    I tried the partition approach and it unfortunately failed as well. The same "hung" symptoms as before. The green light (disk activity) on the disk flashed several times at the initial request, but that was all. I eventually interrupted it after a hourn which generated the same system log message: AppleUSBEHCI[0x1d59000]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 91, timing out!
    The disk utility log says:
    Preparing to partition disk: “SAMSUNG HM100JC Media”

    Filesystem : Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    Creating Partition Map
    Partition failed for disk SAMSUNG HM100JC Media Device not configured
    Partition complete.
    I don't have easy access to a Window's box. I do have access to a Linux system. Perhaps I can configure it there and it will work on my PB.

  • Disk Utility hangs when erasing external disk

    In Time Machine I wasn't able to figure out how to attach an external drive via USB. I guessed that it probably wouldn't work on a MS-DOS filesystem, so I started Disk Utility, which I never have used before. I have formatted disks before on Linux and on Windows, so it's nice to see a great app for this.
    In the Time Machine brief help text, there is not mentioned what kind of filesystem that is required or if it work with any filesystem. So I searched, and it seems as if HFS+ journaled case-insensitive is the filesystem that one should choose. Can anyone confirm this?
    When I click erase then the Disk Utility program hangs and I see the spinning beachball. The Activity Monitor program shows that disk activity stops after a few seconds. There is no more activity, so after 5 minutes I stop the program.
    I have tried several times, and I see the same behavior. I even tried restarting the computer. But no luck.
    Now my external disk no longer shows that it's a MS-DOS filesystem, but shows that it's HFS+ journaled case-insensitive. Probably not ok so far. I try creating a single patition, with format: HFS+ journaled case-insensitive, without OS 9 drivers installed. When I click apply then spinning beachball again and diskactivity stops after a few seconds, and I stop the program after some minutes where it has been inactive.
    My guess is that the disk-erasing task failed and has left the disk in a broken state. During this task Disk Utility began to hang for a reason that I don't know.
    My second guess to why the create-partition task failed, is that the disk is in a broken state, and thus the partition cannot be created, and Disk Utility hangs.
    How do I format the external disk from the command line?

    In Disk Utility, select the drive mechanism (not the volume on it) and click the Partition button. Use the Options button to choose the GUID partition scheme, then make one HFS+ (Journaled) volume.
    There is no point in using the command line for this task, because if Disk Utility cannot deal properly with the disk, Mac OS X will not either. Disk Utility is using diskutil to do the partitioning and formatting.

  • Upgraded to Firefox 12, when Firefox hangs so does Mac 10.6.8

    After upgrading to Firefox 12, Firefox will hang which then causes every other program on my mac that's running to hang and have for force shutdown the computer.

    '''kthersh,'''
    Does the problem with a hang in one program (Firefox) causing other running programs to hang, which then causes the entire Mac Operating System to hang, happen with any other program besides Firefox? In other words, if you browse using Safari or another browser, does the problem go away?
    You said the problem goes away in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] .... is that still the case? I just wanted to make sure you aren't talking about [https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 Mac OS X Safe Mode] .
    If the problem only happens when you use Firefox or if you aren't sure if it goes away in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] because it only happens from time to time, there are a few other [[Basic Troubleshooting]] steps you can try ... for example, troubleshooting plugins, a clean reinstall of Firefox or creating a new Firefox profile (see the linked article for details).
    You could also try a Mac forum such as discussions.apple.com to see if anyone has had a similar problem with Firefox 12 or if anyone has a Mac-specific solution to suggest.
