Oracle 8.1.5 Invalid Staging Area Error

I get an error message: Invalid staging area. There is no top level components for Windows NT available for installing
from this staging area. I installed this version successfully running win98, but i get this error with XP. I tried renaming the symcjit.dll
as suggested in some of the earlier posting with no success. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

copy disk to hardrive in a temporary directory. go to properties for setup.exe (right click on file used to install oracle). Select the compatiblity tab. make sure the check box "run this program in compatibility mode" is checked. In combo box select windows 98.

'Error: Invalid Staging Area' while installing Developer Studio 10g

Dear All,
I am trying to install Oracle Developer Studio 10g on Windows 2000 SP4 machine having 512 MB RAM.
All the installer requirements are met.
After that Oracle Universal Installer displays the error:
Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area.
Please explain me this error. I am not getting any references about the same on Internet.
Do i able to install Oracle Developer Suite on my machine?

"Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT available for install from this staging area."
This is Oracle's way of saying nothing on this CD can be installed on Windows NT (or Windows 2000)

Oracle 8i install on Win ME - invalid staging area?

I'm having trouble installing 8i Personal Edition on Win ME
(Athlon 1.3, 768 ram, plenty of disk space). I get the
error "Invalid staging area. There are no top level components
for Windows 95 available for install from this staging area." on
the "File Locations" step of the pre-install process. Anyone
know what this may be caused by?

Edit your win.ini file
In the [Compatibility 95] section add the following:
Jrew=0x00080000
Save the file and reboot your machine..

Silent install of 10gR2 Client on XP: OUI-10133 Invalid Staging Area

Hi!
I'm trying to install 10gR2 Admin Client on my Win XP workstation (XP Pro Multilingual, SP2) silently, but everytime I'm getting an OUI-10133 error.
If the installation is done interactively (from the same source), everything works fine.
Does anybody have a hint for me? I found a few notes on metalink referring to problems with the installation of Grid Control, but I think, this here is something different. I have one zip file containing the client installation, which has been extracted into one local directory.
Regards,
Daniel

I get a similar error when attempting to install Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1) on a RedHat Linux machine. I can't get past the first OUI screen. I select either Basic or Advanced install, and then I enter the name of my Oracle installation directory.
The actual context of the error msg is:
OUI-10133: Invalid staging area. There are no top level components for Linux available for installation in this staging area.
I click OK and that's pretty much it.
What gives?

Staging area error and universal installer does not run

Everything was ok. I installed Oracle 9i r 2, AS 9.0.2, iFS 9.0.2.
Then I uninstall AS and iFS. But AS folder remains there (with inventory,contentsXML.. folder inside), even if I deleted it, when I tried to install AS again I get the error staging area error, and the folder appears again.
Another thing is that in oracle universal installer the installed and deinstall products options do not do anything. I only can select the install option
Did I do something wrong during the AS uninstall?
What Can I do now?
Thanks for your help,

Try looking here:

follow these steps/configs and the install will go quite nice!

Problem with 10G R2 installation (OUI - 10133 Invalid Staging Area) on W2K3

I'm getting a strange error installing 10G R2 Database on a Windows 2003 server. I get "OUI - 10133 Invalid Staging Area. There are no top level components for Windows NT, Windows 2000 available for installation in this staging area." This happens when I choose an Advanced installation or when I choose a starter database.
The funny thing is that I've performed this installation with this exact installation disk on a virtual server on my laptop with Windows 2003.
Also, I ran a quick test with the 10G R1 installation files and I don't get the error. I want to run tests on case insensitivity with LIKE searches (a new feature enabled in 10G R2) so I can't use 10G R1.

I have seen that problem frequently and it is because for some reason the installer doesn't like burned CD's. Copy all the staging files over to disk. I usually download the zip files onto a staging drive on the server, unzip, install, then delete the install files when I'm done if I need the space.
This has two major benefits: I don't run into the "staging area" error and the install only takes about 30 minutes compared to about 3 hours when installing from CD.

Invalid Staging area

When i try to install Oracle 8i on windows 2000 which compatible to windows 98 it is giving me "invalid staging area" can anybody help me please
Regards
Pavan

XP requires an installation of the NT version of Oracle. There is a bug for 8i that involves the following solution to start the service. First, set the database service as Manual. Then do this:
There is a very irritating solution.(Atleast it works.)Open the windows Task Manager(ctrl+shift+esc) and under the process tab there will be one called ORACLE.EXE. Right-Click and select End Process Tree. Now start the Database from the Oracle administration for Windows NT MMC. Once This is done You will find the ORACLE.EXE process running in the Task Manager. Right-Click on this and set the priority to above normal or anything higher than normal. If you managed to do this in time, you may find the memory usage increasing to more than 40MB(It will be more than 50 MB if the default database was chosen). If you were not fast enough you may have to repeat the whole procedure once again.
This has to be done everytime the system is started. A good solution would be to hibernate instead of shutting down.

Staging area error

It seems that I can't install Oracle 9.2.0.1 under Windows 2000 Pro. On the File Locations dialog where you specify Source... and Destination... I keep getting "There was a problem in accessing the staging area. Please make sure the specified values for 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid". Well, everything is valid. I have followed the Oracle installation instructions exactly as specified. Anyone else run into this kind of problem?

Did you ever find the solution to your problem? I'm having the same.
Thanks,

Oracle DB Query Generating Invalid Column Index error

Dear All,
Apologies for a question on this rather basic error but I don't understand why i'm experiencing the behaviour described.
The piece of code below connects to a database, runs a query, then attempts to display the contents of the resultset. I understand from other posts on the topic that the query I am executing (INSERT INTO table VALUES (...)) as in the comments below needs to have autocommit disabled to allow me to access the resultset without the transaction closing.
public void runQuery(String query) throws Exception { Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(database, username, password); con.setAutoCommit(false); Statement st = con.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery (query); // "select * from user_tables" // "INSERT INTO BH VALUES ('','2.25','Dark Red','Samsonite','4987638762')" while (rs.next()) { System.out.print (rs.getString(1)); // Exception thrown here } con.commit(); st.close(); con.close(); }
I have removed try {} catch {} error handling for clarity.
I am receiving the invalid column index error from the indicated line, which clearly suggest column 1 doesn't exist, however if i run the same query in another tool, something like the following is returned:
Rows Affected
1
The query is being received by the database as the row ends up in the table intact, so I am clearly missing something about how to access the resultset correctly.
I am guessing that I am either misusing/misunderstanding the autocommit option or that the resultset is different to what I am expecting...
Can someone please shed a little light?
Many thanks!
George

Ok, I've done a little more digging, and i've come to the conclusion that an INSERT query doesn't return a resultset (or returns an empty one)
Could someone with a little more knowledge confirm this as I've had little luck finding an explicit yes or no from the web!
Many Thanks in advance...

Staging area on source in Oracle

Hi,
My source and target, both are Oracle DBs.
a) I created one interface with STAGING AREA ON TARGET. For this I used LKM SQL to SQL and IKM SQL Incremental Update.
Its working fine and all the work tables, flow table etc are gettting created in the
Work Schema (ie. ODI_TRG) I have given while defining physical schema of my target.
I want to try with staging area on source....
b) I checked the "Staging area different from Target" option and selected the logical schema of the source in the Definitions tab of my interface.
In the corresponding physical schema, Work Schema I gave is ODI_SRC.
Now I expected all the work tables, flow tables etc to be created ODI_SRC. But still they are getting created in ODI_TRG!!! Why???
But finally to insert/update the target table, its trying to read the flow table from ODI_SRC, even though it created the flow table in ODI_TRG!!!!
And as a result its failing with this error code...
942 : 42000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Please clarify.

I think you didn't change your KM.
Step1: import the "IKM SQL to SQL Append" into your project
Step2: In your interface, on the definition table, select the "Staging Area Different From Target" checkbox, and select the schema of your source data in the drop-down list box.
Step3: go to the flow tab, and select the target, and select the IKM SQL to SQL Append.
Step4: Execute.
Refer this thread what KM to change.

Error accessing staging area

I'm trying to install Oracle8i 8.1.6 for Linux but when it comes to defining the source and destination directories and products.jar, I get the following error:
"There was a problem in accessing the staging area.Please make sure the specified values for 'Source' and 'Destination' are valid."
I double checked them and my source is: /usr/Oracle8iR2/stage/products.jar
and dest is: /usr/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6
Any idea ??
null

I fixed my problem. Find note:74790.1 on internet.This is about how cleanly deinstalling RDBMS software. Apparently, Oracle was already installed once on my machine, but not entirely deinstalled, or at least, some components remained after deinstallation. So I followed the instructions of note:74790.1 and reinstallation was a success. You may have yourself some .ini files remaining or your registry uncleaned. Check if you have the file "ORAODBC.INI" in your system, back it up, remove it, and retry installation of Oracle universal installer.
Wish you good luck.

Oracle Invalid Column Name Error in JSP

I was wondering if anyone could provide some help. I am new to JSP, Beans and Oracle and I am getting a java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: invalid column name error when I run the JSP below. The Java Bean's code it is referencing is also included and this bean is just storing information from the server from a previous login page.
Eventually I need to display more columns from the database using this JSP, but since I can even get this one working, I am at a loss!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
I have even tried to replace the beans reference in the sql with just a login and password I know exists in the database! Same error... Help!
I am running Tomcat and Oracle 9i!

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I should of looked at my code before I copied over. The field should of been "studentinfo.familyname" which I was calling, I have just been changing so much code in this to try and see what the problem is, I didnt fix this before I copied this over.... trust me, I have tried everything........ Hence when I correctly called the "concatination the login name and password to the query properly" as you pointed out, I got rid of the error, BUT now it returning NO DATA????? (the table is populated - I have checked this!!!!)
The table I am trying to get information from sits under a schema called system. It has the following columns;
STUDENTID NUMBER 8
FAMILYNAME VARHCAR 60
GIVENNAME VARCHAR 60
USERNAME VARCHAR 9
PASSWORD VHARCHAR 60
The database is called globaldb. My computer is called Midas2
Whats more, the query works in Oracle sql*plus!!! Returning the relevent data!!!
Actually here is the code for the JSP, with all the changes and none of the mistakes of my previous post...........,
Pleaes help!!!

Maintaining the structure of a SQL Server staging area and dwh aligned with the Oracle data source

Hi,
I'm working in a context where the data source system, in Oracle, is a continuos work in progress. Each 1-2-3 weeks the data source system in the prod environment is updated with new tables or updated table (with new columns or altered columns). So, it is
important to apply in a rapid manner the related changes in the data structure of the SQL Server staging area and dwh.
The issues to solve are:
a. maintaining SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the Oracle data source;
b. maintaing SQL Server data structure of the staging area aligned with the data structure of the SQL Server staging area.
In order to solve these issues it could be useful to think to an authomatic manner to alert when a data structure change occurs and a simple manner to apply the changes on SQL Server data structure.
Any suggests, please? Many thanks

We use Oracle CDC service in SQLServer. It has a flag to indicate the schema changes happening at the Oracle end. We track the schema changes using it and then apply changes to sqlserver side. And regarding automation you can use Biml as suggested or .NET
scripts inside script task.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Load file into Oracle without staging area

Is it possible to change LKM to do this?
Thanks

Yes it is.
You can set the 'Work Schema' (staging) of your topology object to the same as your target (Data Schema), then all objects will be created in the target (C$ I$ etc), therefore no staging area is required - although this is not best practice.
If you want to remove the staging tables altogether, then you can alter the knowledge module to load directly into the target in your LKM. It depends on the method you are using (external tables, sqlloader for example). You IKM will also need amending to basically do nothing, but has to be present for the interface to work.
Cheers
