ORA-20998: Transaction Failed on Headstart Utilities 6.5 installation

Question

Hello,
I am having problem when running insthsu.sql script to install
Headstart utilities 6.5. We are doing client/server approach. The
server is Sun 450 - Oracle 8.1.7.0.0
Designer 6i Release 4 repository was installed on the server.
How far was the installation:
1. Installed HST65 --> No problem found
2. Installed HDEMO65 --> No problem found
3. Failed on the following statement on insthsu.sql script:
... installing Quality Check utilities
execute hsu_qa_app.install;
error message:
hsu65@devl> execute hsu_qa_app.install
BEGIN hsu_qa_app.install; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20998: Transaction Failed
ORA-06512: at "HST65.QMS$ERRORS", line 128
ORA-06512: at "HST65.QMS_TRANSACTION_MGT", line 814
ORA-06512: at "HSU65.CG$AIS_HSU_UTILITIES", line 39
ORA-04088: error during execution of

ORA-06512: at "HSU65.HSU_QA_APP", line 40
ORA-06512: at line 1
Any idea or direction where should I go from here?
Thanks,

Ali,
You are running into a bug in the install form. It sees the tables that you imported manually (like the message told you to do), and then complains about them. The best thing to do is change the code in the hsdinst.fmb where the check for existing objects is performed in program units CHECK_USERS:
function hsu_objects_exist
return boolean
is
cursor c_chk
is
select 'x'
from user_objects
where object_name like 'BL_%'
-- or object_name like 'HSU_%'
-- or object_name like 'OMR_%'
So comment out the two lines as indicated above and recreate the fmx.
Kind regards,
Peter
