Oracle 8.1.6 Installation - Help-me!!!!!!

I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.6 from CD on Conectiva Linux but when I run ./runInstaller a blank window is displayed and nothing happens.
I'm using linux kernel 2.2.16. During installation, some processes still running, consuming CPU, but nothing is wrote to disk.
I already download JRE 1.1.8 from ibm/java, altered oraparam.ini to point JRE_LOCATION to /usr/java/jre118 (that is the location where I unzip downloaded JRE) and nothing happens.
What's wrong?

Hi!
You don't need to install another Java Runtime Version - it comes with Oracle 8.1.6 and you only should use this one with Oracle.
Did you set the Oracle installation acount group ID to "oinstall"?
Be shure to set the $ORACLE_BASE and the $ORACLE_HOME in your local .profile or .bashrc before starting the installation.

Installation Problem Developer 6i/Oracle 8/Windows NT4 Please help.

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle Developer 6i and Oracle 8
under Windows NT platform. I had several kind of problem. Atlast
I found the installation tips very help and followed it step by
step. Still I am facing the problem. Let me explain what i did,
step by step,
1.downloaded the Oracle forms self extract file. Unzipped. Ran
the Setup.exe.
2.This prepared for Oracle Developer installation. I selected
default path and home(d:\ORANT and home_Default). Selected
oracle forms and installed it.
3.Repeated step 2 to install reports 6i.
4.Restarted the system.
5.Created another directory d:\orantnew
6.Used the Oracle 8 CD and installed using the Autorun.Selected
different path and oracle Home this time.(D:\orantnew and
home_New).
7. Selected the Oracle Enterprise Edition option and did the
installation.Rebooted the system.
8. Did the TCP/IP changes explained in the Step (5) and Step (6)
given below in Mr.Krishna's reply.
9. Tried to start the listner by following Step (7) the listener
won't start.
10. Went ahead and copied the TNSNAMES.
Connected to SQL*Plus using Start/Program/Oracle-OracntNew using
SCOTT/TIGER and connect went thru.
Then tried "CONNECT" from form builder, won't connect. I think
the error message was some thing related to TNS..(Since I have
uninstalled all the Oracle components now i can't give the exact
error.Sorry). I would like to know if there is anything I am
doing wrong or missing out something.
Note : While uninstalling the oracle components i had problem
removing the bin directory. So I had to stop some of the
services
(OracleServiceORC1 and OracleStartORC1 from
start/controlpanel/services option) in order to delete the
oracle components.
Please someone let me know how can I install Oracle 8 and Oracle
Developer 6i,in windows NT platform.
Incase if i am doing anything wrong in the above given step or
missing out something pl let me know.
Thanks.
Extracted from another thread
Hi, >Try these steps, but you need to change a few things for Win2000 even I am trying, but Listener does'nt start there is a
problem I am looking into it, If you find the solution pl let me
know, these work fine on Win95/98 I have tried and they all work
fine.>-------------------------------------------->Installing
Personal Oracle 8. 1. 6. 0. 0 with Developer v6i (Reports 6. 0.
8. 8. 3, Forms 6. 0. 8. 0. 9)>On Windows 98>Note: All other
combinations may or may not work.> If you want to install
designer as well, do it now.
** Clean all Oracles off the computer using the following instructions. (Windows 95 and
Windows 98)
1. In regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
3. Delete the ORACLE key.
4. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
5. Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ODBC pertaining to Oracle.
6. Edit your AUTOEXE.BAT file and remove your %ORACLE_HOME%\bin and JRE paths from the path settings.
7. From the Windows Explorer (or from the command prompt), delete the Oracle Directory
(Oracle Base).
8. Delete < System_Drive > C:\Program Files\Oracle (from the Windows NT Explorer or from the command
prompt).
9. Delete Icons from < System_Drive> C:\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Oracle - <HOME> and <System_Drive>
C:\Windows\StartMenu\Oracle Installation Products. Where<HOME>
is the previous HOME name.
10. Reboot the system.
Installing Developer 6i(Forms and Reports)
1. Download the file from OTN site or Install from the CD. Install the installer. It will go
into a new default Oracle home that it will create. When you go
to install your Developer CD, close the installer that comes up
with the CD autorun. Go to the programs menu and Oracle for
Windows 95 and click on the installer there. Once it is open,
browse to the CD you wish to install. (installr/install/us)
2. Start installer. Install Developer 6i first to default directory, Orawin95 How? Start installer, follow the prompts
that appear on the screen, you may have to do this twice, once
for Oracle Forms and once for Oracle Reports, after the
installation is successful reboot the system.
3. If you want to install Designer 6 as well, do it now. (But I have not installed
the Designer ) Designer has to be installed before PO 8. 1. 6,
because PO816 can detect only one Oracle_home.
4. Create a new folder on your root directory called Orawin98. Start the installer set-up from where you downloaded it and
select Orawin98 to install it in this time. You also need to
give this second home a name whatever you want, but through out
the process, you have to use the identical name, that is
critical. Orawin98 indicates this name in these instructions. Do
not reboot. Install Oracle 8.1.6 to the directory Orawin98 using
the installer. Reboot the system.
5. Go to Start/Setting/Control Panel/Network, if you do not have TCP/IP installed, install it
now, if you do, highlight TCP/IP, click properties. Select DNS
tab, select enable DNS, at the host area, type "Orawin98", leave
domain empty. Go to Identification Tab and enter your database
name, in this case BBM. Reboot the system after you finish.
6. Configure your database listener. Go to Start/Programs/Oracle- Orawin98/Network Admistration/Net8
Assistant, a window will pop
up, at the window expand Local and expand Listeners and double
click it, you will see a new window, go through all the tab
menus. At location address 1, Host name: use "Orawin98", Port
use: 1521 (default). And at location address 2, Host name:
use "Orawin98", Port use: 2481, go to the file/ save, close Net8
Assistant.
7. Start listener how? Go to Dos Window, type LSNRCTL, return, at LSNRCTL>, type Start. Listener should start
successfully, if not, you need to go back to Net8 Assistant to
check configuration.
8. Copy file "TNSNAMES" in directory C:\Orawin98\Net80\Admin to C:\oraein95\Net80\Admin.
9. You are finished.
10. To connect Forms/Reports/SQLPLUS to database - First start the
Listener, then start the database. Next, go to File menu in
Forms/Reports and select Connect. Type in user name and password
(system/manager or whatever) in this case it is SCOTT/TIGER and
the database name is your "DATABASENAME". When you want to quit
you need to exit from file menu of Forms/Reports, then you need
to stop Listener and then shut down database.
11. You can rename your computer name in your original name. (for local networks)
Let me know if it is working.>null

Install Forms in one directory (You can have reports in the same
directory).
Install oracle DB in another directory.
Don't change any file and reboot.
The listener will start automatically as a service.
(If not from a command line write "lsnrctl start" to start it).
To connect from forms/report to the DB you need to activate the
sqlnet easy config tool from the directory where forms is.
Follow the wizard to define an entry in the tnsnames.ora file
automatically.
Then you can use your forms with the DB.
(IF you get problems it usually helps to let us know the error
code you get so we can direct you in the correct direction).

Workaround consits of two steps:
1. Use jre 1.3.1_n (where n>10) (1.4.n use only if your platform is x86_64)
2. execute following commands before you execute runInstaller or dbca:
unset LANG
unset LC_TYPE

Help in Oracle DB 11gR2 & Oracle 11gR2 Forms & reports Installation

hello everybody
i just want Help in Oracle Database 11gR2 & Oracle 11gR2 Forms & reports Installation
iam unable to install 11g Database & Forms_Reports Developer in the Windows XP.
Kindly Help me

Some Preliminaries
First off, Oracle certifies only certain combinations of Oracle Fusion Middleware will work together, so make sure you have the right executables.
Only WLS 10.3.5 (and just released WLS 10.3.6) works with Oracle Forms and Reports 11.1.2.
Don't bother with the ZIP distribution on OTN.
Don't bother with the 12c (cloud distribution) of the application server.
First, you need to install the Java JDK (Java Development Kit) jdk1.6u31 or later.
Second, run wls1035_win32.exe to unpack and install the Weblogic server. Only install the software, do not install Windows service or run the Quickstart. That can wait until after Forms software installs.
Third, before installing Oracle Forms, a crucial environment variable setting needs setting. To make this change persistent, access your System Properties (right-click on My Computer icon on the desktop), switch to the "Advanced" tab , then press the "Environment Variables" pushbutton.
Create and set an environment variable "EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES". Make sure that the value is set to -Xms256m -Xmx256m
Fourth, start the setup.exe program for the Oracle Forms and Reports 11.1.2 installer.
At Step 3 of 13, select "Install software - Do not Configure". This will save time in case configuration bombs and you have to retry.
After a long while, the software installation process will finish.
Fifth, you will want to run the configuration wizard. This is the most memory sensitive part of the whole process.
Please close down all disk and memory intensive applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Firefox, and possibly Internet Explorer.
Failure to allow enough memory to inflate several JVMs can cause the wizard to hang.
You will have acquired a bunch of new Programs and shortcuts.
Swing over to the Start Menu and look for the Oracle Classic 11g - Home 1 group.
Inside you'll find a shortcut for Configure Classic Instance --- run it.
At Step 2 of the configuration tool, choose "Configure for Development"
At Step 10, you will start the process of creating Weblogic's "Classic Domain" for Forms and Reports 11g R2.
It may take 5 minutes or so to create ClassicDomain. This is the most memory sensitive part of the entire process.
The wrong configuration will cause the wizard to hang or fail on the "Create Domain" step.
If you're not seeing any checkmarks (or the progress indicator still shows 0% ) after 10 minutes, then you should cancel and get help. ( support.oracle.com )
Sixth, Reboot recommended.

Hi Easyman,
sure, just have a look in $INSTALL_CONF directory. Files starting with swInst* are referencing a response file from $INSTALL_CONF/response directory. Either use a sample configuration file or add your own response file to install Oracle.

Oracle PIM Data Hub installation

Hi,
This is pertaining to Oracle PIM Data Hub installation.
I need to install Oracle PIM Data Hub in my local machine.Following are the software components that I could identify for Oracle PIM Data Hub installation.
1. Oracle database server 10g
2. Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.3.1.0)
3. Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1)
It would be a favour,if anyone kindly verify whether the list is correct and exhaustive.Additionally,whether installing Oracle PIM Data Hub to any local machine is feasible.
Thanks & Regards,
Diptanil Sengupta

Oracle Portal 11g - New Installation

Hello,
I have worked a lot of with IAS 10.1.2.3. Now I want to install Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0). But I need the Portal for my old applications.
I have found the document 1364497.1 "New Direction for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g with Single Sign-On 10g". In the document is a section "Oracle Portal 11g - New Installation" from 23-MAY-2012. This describe in Part 1 that I have to install the Infrasturcture of Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.0.1) . But I can't find the needed sources in the given donlaod path (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/101401-099957.html).
I found only Oracle Identity Management 10g (10.1.4.3). This version seems to me does not have an Infrasturcture.
I don't know which sources I have to download to install the temporary needed Infrasturcture. Can anybody help to find the right sources?
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank,
I'd prefer to get the document published first. Also a few comments with regards to the OAM installation path.
The benefits are :
<li>You will be using OAM straight from the beginning, no SSO in the picture
<li>You can install Oracle Portal with an 11g OID instead of a 10g OID (which you would get when installing IDM 10.1.4)
<li>You can use an 11.2 database for both the Portal and OID repository. With IDM 10.1.4 you are restricted to an 10.1 or 10.2 database as the installer does not support 11g.
There are some drawbacks as well :
<li>There will be no DAS solution (oiddas). Both User/Group creation should be done with different tools (ldif files, dbms_ldap API, provisioning from a 3rd party LDAP server) as well as User and Group LOVs in the access tabs of several Portal components won't work. You can still enter the name of the user and group in the input field to grant privileges
<li>The seeded login portlet does not work
Thanks,
EJ

I found the solution, if anyone has the same error, here is the solution:
The cause of an error was improper configuration of the host. The ping returned two different IP addresses:
oas@myhost $ ping -a myhost
myhost (333.333.333.333) is alive
oas@myhost $ ping -a myhost.domain.com
myhost.domain.com (555.555.555.555) is alive
I removed the wrong IP address for myhost.domain.com in /etc/inet/ipnodes:
[email protected] # cat /etc/inet/ipnodes
# Internet host table
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
555.555.555.555 myhost.domain.com loghost
Now the ping is correct:
oas@myhost $ ping -a myhost
myhost (333.333.333.333) is alive
oas@myhost $ ping -a myhost.domain.com
myhost.domain.com (333.333.333.333)) is alive
Now installation finished successfully.

Designer 6i Release 2 makes Oracle 8.1.7 installation impossible!!!

Hi,
Designer 6i Release 2 makes Oracle 8.1.7 installation impossibleon Windows 2000 Server!!!
After I uninstalled Designer 6i Rel2 through the Oracle Installer and then manually deleted all the left directories and Oracle registry entries I found HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES\ID0\"\Registry Backup" entries that are not removable! Designer documentation says it's OK and that it won't do any harm. But it does! I have absolutely "Oracle free" machine, and why I try install Oracle 8.1.7, Oracle Installer pops up and after I click on "install products" closes and nothing happens.
Please, help me:
1) delete these registry entries;
2) maybe there are some dlls I need to delete in order to make Oracle 8.1.7 work.
P.S. I have to mention that Oracle Forms developer 6i Rel 2 was installed on top of the Designer in the same home (only Client Forms and Reports). But I cleaned up everything as described erlier.
I think, it is critical not only for me to solve this problem ASAP.
Thank you.

Hello guys
I had this problems for weeks, I could not reinstall Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server with the Universal Installer, it was all the time frozing after the splash screen. In my registry, I found the unremovable oracle entries (3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ALL_HOMES\ID0\"\Registry Backup". Here is what I did to clean (sort of) the registry. By the way, reinstalling Win2K was out of the question.
I download Resplendence Registar 2.03 from http://www.resplendence.com. I made a binary backup of my registry using RR. Then I edit the backup with an hex editor (I use textpad from http://www.textpad.com). I search for the oracle entries (ORACLE in uppercase), found two. I replace them with ZZZZZZ. I saved the file and restored the registry with RR. Now, I have a ZZZZZZ unremovable entry, but it does not interfere with the Oracle Universal Installer. I was then able to reinstall Oracle 8.1.7 and Designer6i.
Now, I have a new problem. I have two oracle home
OEE with Oracle8i EE 8.1.7
ORANT with Oracle Designer6i
When I try to connect to my remote database Oracle8i EE 8.1.6 on Linux with SQL*Plus 8.1.7 everything is OK. But when I try to connect using SQL*Plus 8.0.6 that comes with Designer6i I get the error ORA-12571: TNS:packet writer failure. The config files tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora are the same on both oracle homes. If you have any clues, please let me known, I'm out of them.
PS After 12 years working with Oracle products, this is my worst year. The product development it totally out of control. The products are huge, buggy, incomplete and incompatible. I hope we will survive this storm :o)

Does Oracle 10G R2 support installation on Windows 2003 Domain Controller?

Does Oracle 10g R2 support installation on Windows 2003 Domain Controller? I remember that 10g R1 had issues with the DC? Is it still the case. Does it work now?
Any help is appreciated.

We have Oracle 10g R2 running on a Windows 2003 domain controller. It was not a domain controller when Oracle was installed. The domain was created after installation. (I don't recommend that procedure. I spent a long day fixing the installation after they configured the domain.) If Oracle is unhappy with being on a domain controller, it has not shown it yet.

Oracle 10g Companion Product installation

while installing Oracle 10g companion product HTTP server. Does one have to delete the oracle_home variable from the registry ? (as seems like in the instructions.)

3.3 Installing Oracle Database 10g Products
You must install Oracle Database 10g Products in an existing Oracle Database 10g release 1 (10.1) Oracle home.
See Also:
"Products Available in the Oracle Database 10g Products Installation Type"
To install Oracle Database 10g Products, follow these steps:
Log on as a member of the Administrators group to the computer on which to install Oracle components.
If you are installing on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), log on as a member of the Domain Administrators group.
Delete the ORACLE_HOME environment variable if it exists.
Refer to your Microsoft online help for more information about deleting environment variables.
Note:
The ORACLE_HOME environment variable is automatically set in the registry. Manually setting this variable prevents installation.

I have nothing under system variable but there is oracle_home Key in the registry under oracle. Deleting that key would interfere with the oracle database processes?. The HTTP Installation does let me execute mod_plsql process even after setting up DAD in DAD.Conf, as i was able to do in Oracle 9I.
