ORA-29534 while installing Target Scheme.

Question

Hi,
I did a server side OWB installation,created a Runtime Repos, and Runtime Access User without any problem.
Installing a Target scheme however gives me the following error.
- Advise pls -

Bram,
Are you planning to use the XML toolkit to load XML files into the database?
Assuming you are not... because most customers are not, I want to suggest the following (that would enable you to continue to work and gives us more breathing room to figure out what is the issue).
First question is: do you run the assistant on Windows or on Unix? The answer to that question kicks in below.
In the folder <owb home>\owb\rtasst (change \ into / for unix...) there is a file rscredrv.xml. That file contains two mentions of xmltk.jar, once for Windows, once for Unix. If you run on Windows, then you can change (MAKE SURE TO BACKUP THE FILE FIRST) the existing entry:
<SPAWN
done="055"
action="stop"
file="..\win32\loadjava.bat"
platform="Windows NT"
tag1=" -thin"
tag2=" -verbose"
tag3=" -order"
tag4=" -resolve"
tag5=" -u"
tag6=' %user/%password@(DESCRIPTION"="(ADDRESS"="(PROTOCOL"="TCP)(HOST"="%host)(PORT"="%port))(CONNECT_DATA"="(SERVICE_NAME"="%serviceName)))'
tag7=" ../../lib/int/xmltk.jar"
tag8=" ../../lib/int/rtsxml.jar"
tag9=" ../../lib/int/matchmergert.jar"
/>
into:
<SPAWN
done="055"
action="stop"
file="..\win32\loadjava.bat"
platform="Windows NT"
tag1=" -thin"
tag2=" -verbose"
tag3=" -order"
tag4=" -resolve"
tag5=" -u"
tag6=' %user/%password@(DESCRIPTION"="(ADDRESS"="(PROTOCOL"="TCP)(HOST"="%host)(PORT"="%port))(CONNECT_DATA"="(SERVICE_NAME"="%serviceName)))'
tag7=" ../../lib/int/rtsxml.jar"
tag8=" ../../lib/int/matchmergert.jar"
/>
(take out the tag for xmltk.jar and rename the last two from tag8 and tag9 to tag7 and tag8). If you run on Unix, do the equivalent with the entry that is below:
<SPAWN
done="060"
action="stop"
file="../unix/loadjava"
platform="SunOS"
tag1=" -thin"
tag2=" -verbose"
tag3=" -order"
tag4=" -resolve"
tag5=" -u"
tag6=' %user/%password@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=%host)(PORT=%port))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=%serviceName)))'
tag7=" ../../lib/int/rtsxml.jar"
tag8=" ../../lib/int/matchmergert.jar"
/>
Save the file, and re-run the runtime assistant. The result should be that it runs through successfully, but it will not install the file that is causing the problems. As long as you do not plan to use the XML toolkit to load XML documents in the database, you should be fine with that environment.
In the meantime, I will verify with development whether you may run into any issues (which I do not expect).
Thanks,
Mark.
