OR110264.SAR can't be unpacked installing oracle 10.2 and 4.7 in AIX

Question

Hello,
I am installing 4.7 Enterprise with oracle 10.2 in AIX 5.3 platform and when sapinst tries to unpack Oracle rdbms it fails after a few files are processed with the error:
CJS-00096  Extract archive failed.
SOLUTION: See log file OR110264.SAR.log for details.
Cheking the log it says:
SAPCAR: error reading from /auxiliar/cds/rdbms/51031672_1/OR410264.SAR (error 5).
I have checked permissions and are right, also checking space and i have 10gb in the stage filesystem.
I have checked the limits for root in the /etc/security/limits and also with the comand: unlimit -a and all the settings are unlimited for root.
I don't know the meaning of error 5 in sapcar.
I have notice that the files bigger than 1Gb can´t be uncompress, and also i have updated the sapcar to the latest vesion.
Could anyone help me with this problem?
Any help will be apreciated?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hello,
I resolved the problem but i am still not sure why this happened. I thought it was a problem with limits in AIX, but I reviewed all the configuration files and couldn't resolve it that way.
We discovered extracting the individual files that it was the first one which couln't be unzipped, but the others where ok, so the installation hanged and could not continue while extracting the first file.
After many tries, we discovered that if you merge the 3 files, the binary sapcar could extract it with no problems, very strage, so we did the following:
-Merged the 3 files in just one, in the windows system like this:
D:\cds_for_AIX\RDBMS_Ora102\51031672_1\unpack>C:\copia_cds\SAPCAR_0-10003694.exe -mvf "OR110264.SAR OR210264.SAR"
D:\cds_for_AIX\RDBMS_Ora102\51031672_1\unpack>C:\copia_cds\SAPCAR_0-10003694.exe -mvf "OR210264.SAR OR310264.SAR"
D:\cds_for_AIX\RDBMS_Ora102\51031672_1\unpack>C:\copia_cds\SAPCAR_0-10003694.exe -mvf "OR310264.SAR OR410264.SAR "
- The resulting file was OR410264.SAR which could be extracted without problems.
So, i transfered this merge file to the AIX system and renamed to OR110264.SAR which was the filename which could not be extracted.
- Now, when i restarted sapinst. It took the OR110264.SAR (which was really a merged one). The file 2 and 3 was ok and the 4 one was also the merged one.
So, the result is that is extracting several times the same thing but no worries, the final result was that sapinst passed the phase.
I know this was a rare solution, but it works!!!
I think there is a problem with this oracle files in sapnet.
Try it, it will work
