ORA-1503 during install of iAS 9i R2 infrastructure

Hello,
I am installing Oracle 9iAS R2 infrastructure on a freshly installed Windows 2000 (SP3) system.
During operation of the Database Configuration assistant the message "ORA-01503 - CREATE CONTROLFILE failed" apppears.
The last lines in the iasdbALRT.log file (in the <Oracle home>\admin\iasdb\bdump directory) show the following:
ORA-1503 signalled during: Create controlfile reuse set database iasdb
MAXINS...
What can i do about this?
Thanks in advance
Leon Smiers

I think there is something wrong in creating the controlfile.
So make sure this is your first time to install 9iAS. If no, make sure all files created (in the first one) have been removed (including the seed databases created).

9iAS Release2 on RedHat 8 - ORA-1503

I'm attempting an install of Oracle 9iAS Release 2 (9.0.2.1) on RedHat 8. During install I initially received some linking errors, but was able to resolve them by performing the following actions:
1. Go into the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory
2. Open the file 'genclntsh' with an editor
3. Locate the line LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
4. Replace the line with that string LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
5. Run the genclntsh script
6. Return to the dialog and klick at the 'Retry' button
The install continued, but failed during DB Configuration Assistant.
COMPLETED - Copying Database Files
COMPLETED - Initializing database
IN PROGRESS - Creating and Starting Oracle Instance
The error occurs at that 3rd step. "ORA-1503: CREATE CONTROLFILE FAILED" (IGNORE/ABORT)
The alert Log states:
<snip>
ORA-1503 signalled during: Create controlfile reuse set database iasdb
MAXINS...
</snip>
I checked the directory permissions as well as free space. I am good there. It looks like the control files were created as 3 of them (same size, date, time) as well as 3 redolog files are contained within the oradata directory.
Suggestions? Fixes? Ideas?

the error messages are telling you that either
1) you do not have a running database OR
2) you have not set your ORACLE_SID
Set your ORACLE_SID
export ORACLE_SID=mySIDname
then sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
startup
this should get the instance running if it is not already.
if you get a message stating that you cannot startup an already running instance, then you have corrected option 2 just by setting your ORACLE_SID
you should be OK at this point

Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
I am receiving the following INSTALL error:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.
A new Work Space was created on the same instance.
A new schema name was created during creation of the new Work Space. However, this schema does not point to a database. (We were not certain how to setup the schema to parse to our live database.) I will be running DBLINK upon production application startup in order to access the database objects.
EXPORT INFO -
File Format: UNIX (also, tried DOS but received same error during INSTALL)
IMPORT INFO -
File Type: Application/Page Export
File Character Set: Western European Windows 1252
Target Work Space is newly created on the same HTML DB instance.
INSTALL INFO -
*Parse As Schema: COLLIVE17 (Again, this schema does not parse to a database. I intend to use DBLINK.)
*Build Status: Run and Build Application
Please refer to above error message.
Again, any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

Urgently need help! I've read several other Forum messages having a related problem but none having same Install error message.
Again, my Export/Import from development Workspace to production Workspace is successful. The following error is reported when I attempt to "Install" into the production Workspace:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
The "snippet" of Region Sql Select code that relates to the reported error is:
ELSE htmldb_item.display_and_save (5, DECODE (GET_GRADE_B93 (sac.stc_final_grade,sac.stc_verified_grade),'18','AU','1','A','3','B','4','C','7','CR','5','D','46','DR','6','F','47','FW','49','IB','30','IC','31','ID','23','IF','44','MW','9','NC','21','RD','14','RD0','33','RD1','32','RD2','34','RD3','35','RD4','36','RD5','37','RD6','38','RD7','39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W'),'GRADE_'||ROWNUM) END q_v_grade,
HTML DB version is: 1.6.0.00.67. I've also tried to Export/Import/Install the application into the "same" Workspace specifying the same schema, and only changing the Application ID. However, I get the same Install error (see above).
Any suggestions on things to try in order to get application into production is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bernard.

Encountered ora-29701 during Sun Cluster for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 startup (UR

Hi all,
Need some help from all out there
In our Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 (Solaris 9) configuration, my team had encountered
ora-29701 *Unable to connect to Cluster Manager*
during the startup of the Oracle RAC database instances on the Oracle RAC Server resources.
We tried the attached workaround by Oracle. This workaround works well for the 1^st time but it doesnt work anymore when the server is rebooted.
Kindly help me to check whether anyone encounter the same problem as the above and able to resolve. Thanks.

Problem statement:
ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
*** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
TAR:
PROBLEM:
Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
While creating the database, customer receives following error:
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,

For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
WORKAROUND:
Customer is using the following workaround:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp

To answer my own question, while computer is turned off, (after taking anti-static precautions) plug power to sata drive.
Connect sata data cable to M/board, do not connect sata data cable to drive.
Enable sata 1 & 2 in bios, boot to windows.
Drivers are installed for device.
Then carefully plug sata data cable into sata drive.
Windows detects new hardware.
Enter Disk Management & partition/format to your hearts content.
Thanks to those who had a look at my post. Hope this helps someone else.

ORA-12514 9i Database 10G IAS Issue

Hi Friends,
We have installed 10G IAS infrastructure and applicaiton server. Our custom application is migrated and deployed on the 10G app server.
The database is on a seperate server and is still 9i.
When we try to connect to the database from the app server, we get the
ORA-12514: TNS: listener does not currently konw of service requested in connect descriptor.
How can we fix this.
Is it ok to connect to 9i database from 10 app server application.
Thanks and Regards.

Thank you. This is resolved.

Integrity constraint error during install

We have installed htmldb on zlinux from the companion CD.
Because we had an error during install of the flows schema we repeat it (have removed the Flows-User and Flow-Files before) using ins.sql! The apache was still running.
Most of the new installation was fine but near the end we got:
error creating "Procedure arguments" id=122 Ora-01400, cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_010500,"WWv_Flows_STEPS","SECURITY_GROUP_ID")

ORA-06512 at "FLOWS_01500.WWV_FLOW_API line 4695
...

OK, it's solved:
I finally managed to install Apex 3.0 correctly once I figured out my error.
I was logging in remotely to the server the dadbase was on, then trying to connect to sqlplus using 'sys/password@instance as sysdba' to run the script.
Turns out that the problem had something to do with sys not being allowed to be sysdba when I log in remotely, or that having the username/password and instance info in there made the program think I was logging in remotely and therefore not giving me sysdba privileges.
The root of the problem was running the install .sql without the correct privileges.
Since I found out the database server I was trying to install on uses OS authentication, I remote-connected to the database server as the oracle user, tried to run the install .sql again after connecting to sqlplus: 'conn / as sysdba'
and everything worked like a charm!

The basic problem is:

Obviously this refers to the invalid statement 'SELECT FROM DUAL ...'. I also recommend, you should contact Oracle Support, because it happens inside an Oracle provided package.

Creative cloud installer just disappears during install

I had creative cloud and on last update most of the applications are gone along with the desktop icon.
I have tried to install creative cloud again - but it just stops halfway and disappears during install.
I've tried safe mode install
Ive renamed OOBE folders in both librarys
I've tried the adobe application manager and that crashes on install
I've tried the Adobe clean up tool
Nothing is working to get creative cloud to reinstall on the computer - I've lost about 4 applications in creative cloud
Working on a Mac - Yosemite OS

Hi! The cleaner failed - simply could not detect any creative cloud products. ( It did find a previous CS6 installation, long since uninstalled, actually).
Didn't get a chance to try ROOT, as an Adobe tech (Loveneesh) remoted in and did some 'known fixes'... basically he cleaned up the failed CC desktop installation ( deleted a couple of folders) - and then gave "wide open" permissions to a couple of sets of library folders ( One for machine, and one for user). I believe they were
/library/application support/
/library/application support/Adobe/
/users/[username]/library/application support/
/users/[username]/library/application support/Adobe/
Still couldn't install CC desktop, (failed twice!) BUT that at least allowed the installation of "Adobe App Manager" - which was subsequently UPGRADED to CC Desktop. Something of a clever workaround, if you ask me!
And now its all working OK again.
I'm a bit bothered by the somewhat cavalier ""Everybody" permissions applied to library folders, but as I understand this is the quick fix when nobody quite knows what the heck is going on with permissions... (I suppose ROOT access gives much the same effect for installations)

Error message during install

Anyone have a clue what to do? Keep receiving error message during install. Have disable firewall, no help. Here is the error message:

I uninstalled because Itunes would not upgrade. Now I can't install. I was able to install an older version, but couldn't access my music because it was an older version, so I uninstalled that and now have nothing. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

Glad to read that renaming trick helped to get iTunes installed for you. Your thread here is fine for more questions.
Search your hard drive for your music - it should still be there, but perhaps this fresh install of iTunes just isn't seeing it.
Find music: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
You absolutely do NOT want to sync your iPhone with an empty iTunes library. It will erase everything. Apple only gives you one download and you need to make backups. I hope it is still on your PC! But at least you have it on your iPhone.
I don't think you synced your iPhone with your father's iTunes, or his music would be on it. Have a look in a folder named Previous iTunes Libraries. There might be an iTunes database ITL file in there that you can use.
They have names like "iTunes Library 2009-04-06.itl" which would be from April 6th, 2009.
Press and hold the shift key while starting iTunes, and when prompted, choose the most recent previous library. Does it show most of your music, and can you play some songs in iTunes OK?

I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.

Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

"WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing." error during install or boot

Hello everyone!
Since the lasts kernels (I'm almost sure it happens since 3.9 because 3.8 worked fine) I can't boot on Archlinux anymore. This error floods my screen and I can't do anything, and because the new Archlinux iso (june 2013) comes with 3.9 kernel it now also happens during installation. Fortunately, I saved the may iso so I still can install archlinux and switch during install to LTS kernel but this is not a good solution. I can't find a solution online, some people have this issue but it seems to be a bit different everytime.
I use Archlinux on a server, with hardware raid : Dell PERC H200a with LSI SAS2008 according to my BIOS. According to http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.7, the WRITE SAME SCSI command "allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O (commit)". Here is the exact configuration :
- DELL® PowerEdge R210 II
- 1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1220 V2
- HDD: 2 x 1 To SATA2 RAID
- RAID: Hardware, Dell PERC H200, (Raid 1)
So my first problem is that I can't find online if my server is capable of this command (but I don't think so) and then the other issue is that I want to know if I can disable it. I found kernel patches for this issue :
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1898441/ and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1982051/ (the first link seems to be a better solution).
Then, I checked in the kernel source of 3.9 and I think that this patch isn't implemented (there is no device_write_same_capable function for instance). But kernel patching is not a really good solution, if I have to patch my kernel everytime the main kernel is updated...
After some research, I found that my hardware RAID driver seems (I'm not sure) to be the kernel module "mpt2sas", so I checked both may and june isos of Archlinux and it's the same version (14.1) so it shouldn't be the problem.
Does somebody can help me on this issue ? I don't really know what to do now.
Thanks for reading, if I forgot something or if you want more informations, ask me!
Bye.
PS : My English isn't very good, sorry.
EDIT : I found a part of the solution ! It seems to be an issue with the kernel that doesn't detect properly if my disc is capable of doing WRITE SAME command.
So I have to write "0" in the file "max_write_same_blocks" under /sys. But the problem is that /sys is renewed every boot so I don't know how to make my changes permanent. I made a systemd service file, it almost works, but this solution isn't nice : the parameter is applied lately so errors shows at the beginning and this is not really easy to set up. I prefer a solution like "sysctl" but it seems that it only controls parameter under /proc/sys and not /sys, am I right ?
Moreover, I tried two other things : Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.9.4 works and Archlinux iso with 3.8.10 has max_write_same_blocks > 0 and it also works... So I don't really understand this issue. Maybe in 3.8 the parameter max_write_same_blocks has no effect (or not the same as in 3.9) ?
Here is the systemd file that I made to reduce the issue :
[Unit]
Description=No WRITE SAME
After=local-fs.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks'
RemainAfterExit=no
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This is not a good solution, see my next post. I don't delete it in case you want to compare.

I found a solution to disable the WRITE SAME command. That doesn't answer all my questions but it solves my issue. I was looking for a file like "sysctl.conf" but for /sys parameters : you already can do that in Arch, just create a file that ends with ".conf" in tmpfiles.d and add one line per parameter you want to modify. This file will be loaded early at boot.
To disable it in an existing Archlinux installation, add in you file the line :
w /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks - - - - 0
Read the manpage of tmpfiles.d if you don't understand this line, it depends on your configuration and you can't copy it.
Then reboot and no more error !
If you want to disable it during the Arch install, just change directly the value you want in /sys. You have to do it at the beginning before mounting partitions, for instance just after choosing your keymap.
Bye.

I wish I fully understood your post, but perhaps you should try re-downloading. Are you trying to download the 10.7.3 update? If so, then try downloading OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo).
