Oracle 8.1.7/9iAS installation problem on IBM AIX 5.1 - loadext fails

Dear colleagues,
tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 and then Oracle 9iAS over AIX 5.1 on IBM eServer p-series. The installation fails in the very beginning - loadext for post-wait Kernel Extension (/etc/pw-syscall) fails with 'exec format error'. Documentation states 'AIX 4.3.3 or later required', no clear indication for AIX5, though. Any ideas or suggestions?
I understand, it is possible to roll back to AIX 4.3.3, although machine came with 5.1 pre-installed.
Alexei

I had the same problem and finally used the loadext program from the 64-bit cpio-archive (Disk1). Just replace the file and startover again.
It worked and still works!
Hope this helps.

  • Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit)

    First of all my windows is not genuine, but on my friend's desktop oracle download and installation  worked fine, he chose "create and configure database" options, and it works very well on his desktop, though his windows is also illegitimate. In my case, when I select "Create and configure database" option and pressed 'next",
    (Go to my blog to see it with snapshots: Computer Science: Oracle database 11g release 2 installation problem on windows 7 (64-bit))
    it asks to select class, I select "Desktop class" and pressed "next". The moment I pressed "next", the whole setup thing disappeared like it was never started. I searched for all possible reasons for why its not getting installed on my laptop, I used registry cleaner s/w,  deleted 25 GB of data to create free space if it were the problem, increased the virtual memory to increase the space for RAM, I did almost everything to get this setup working, but I found no success with the "Create and Configure database" option
    and
    then
    I chose a "database software only" option and chose to store in a folder w/o spaces. This way, I got database s/w only and then later I found "Database configuration Assistant (DBCA)"  from windows START button and clicked to create and configure database manually. The steps are pretty much interactive and doesn't involve much brainstorming.
    The values I filled for
    1) Global Database Name :  orcl
    2) System Identifier : orcl
    3) I chose common password for both SYS and SYSTEM
    4) while on Enterprise Manager Configuration step, It asked me to create and configure listener in oracle home, so for that too, I typed "netca" in windows START menu and clicked it. There I added a listener.
    5) I chose a Storage area which was the Oracle-home itself i.e. where our installation files goes , in my case it is : C:\oracle_base\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\oradata
    6) Then after few more nitty-gritty clicks, we are set to go !
    Finally to write SQL code and to create your first TABLE , type "sqlplus" in windows "START" menu and click it when it appears. A command-prompt like window appears , which will ask you for username and password, so here they are :
    Username : sys/ as sysdba
    Password : (its the one you created in step 3 stated above )
    After this you are ready to write your first SQL command.

    Is this your solution to your original post at Oracle database 11g release 2 installation on windows 7 (64-bit) ?
    Pl be aware that you should not create any custom objects in SYS or SYSTEM schema - you should create any such objects in a separate custom schema.

  • 9iAS installation problem--not the same user

    I had once interrupted my 9iAS installation, when I start installation again, OUI reports lack of query component. I tried to install it in a new oracle home path, aborted the installation, and copy the inventory folder to the original oracle home path. Then I install oracle in the original oracle home again, OUI gives error message of "All oracle9iAS in one host must be installed by the same user". How can I bypass this message and install 9iAS?

    I just had that too. I deleted all Oracle installed directories (app server install directory and Program Files\Oracle) then deleted the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and that problem goes away....

  • Oracle 8.0.5 Post Installation Problem

    Hi all,
    I have installed Oracle 8.0.5.1 is installed on my RH 6.0 box.
    However, I am running into a couple of post-installation
    problems.
    1. root.sh (sucessfully ran).
    2. glibc patch (successfuly ran). There were a few errors on the
    screen with the "mv" commands (file does not exist). Is tha
    alright?
    3. catrep.sql (problem). This is where I have a problem.
    I ran dbstart as oracle805 (installation account), but I have no
    idea whether or not I really started the database. ps -aux did
    not yield any clue.
    I also tried svrmgrl and "startup", but the file "initXXX.ora"
    did not exist, so I copied the existing "init.ora" to
    "initXXX.ora". XXX is my ORACLE_SID. Instead alert_XXX.log gave
    me the following:
    ORA-00202: controlfile: 'ora_control1'
    ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
    So, in other words, I have no idea whether or not I have
    successfully installed Oracle. All insights are greatly
    appreciated.

    PLATFORM: HP-UX 11i (Server)
    -------- Windows XP, NT (Client)
    INSTALLATION:
    1. On a HP box, using oracle installer, installed Oracle 9.0.2 Infrastruture successfully. Installation & configuration went with no errors.Used JDK 1.3.1 build (1.3.1.02) for installation.
    2. On the same HP box, using oracle installer, installed Oracle 9.0.2 Business Intelligence (Forms & Discoverer) successfully. Used JDK 1.3.1 (build 1.3.1.02) for installation.
    3. Loaded Jinitiator 1.3.1.8 on the client platform
    (Windows XP).
    PROBLEM:
    While trying to access
    http://hpbox:7778/forms90/f90servlet, we see the following line on the Java Console.
    "Downloading http://hpbox:7778/forms90/java/f90all_jinit.jar to JAR cache". The browser keeps showing "Loading Java Applet". When i look at the Cache location, i see the file f90all_jinit.jar-4cf20c5f-178c08b8(zipped). The size of this file stays the same even though browser keeps spinning. Not sure what is going on. I've verified that the Forms servers is still running on the HP box.
    Tried Jinitator 1.3.1.6, 1.3.1.8, 1.3.1.9 and 1.3.1.13. We've also tried Windows XP (IE6) as well as Windows NT (IE5). Same result on all the platforms.

  • 9iAS installation problems w/ db cache and Portal

    I am still trying for a succesful installation of the 9ias software. I have followed all of the suggestions that have been posted and I am now getting TNS cannot resolve service name during the database cache part of the install. I checked services and it seems that this install didn't set up a TNSListener service for the 9iSuites home? I set the oracle_sid = icache as it instructs in the appendix, set the o7_dictionary_accessibility = true, and renamed the spfile to a .txt file so Oracle wouldn't find it. Subsequent to the database cache errors, the Portal install can't find the database either. I'm frustrated because I had the server up and running succesfully with an 8.1.7 db and I'm trying to switch to 9iDB. Any help would be greatly appreciated! My boss is getting a little impatient.
    Thanks.

    Mark,
    I was succesful on my 4th try. This is what I did differently and I'm not sure what triggered success.(a preface: database cache was not succesful but portal was). After install of db I followed these suggestions before install of 9ias(plus others offered by Tao Fan in a previous post:
    in the init.ora file:
    set o7_dictionary_accessibility=true(this is an o, not 0)
    comment out the 'dispatchers' line.
    rename the spfile in the <oracleHome>\database directory(i changed mine to xspfile.txt). Make sure you restart the db after any changes to the init.ora file. Set all oracle services to manual and disable the http server. Stop all services.
    Start your install. Mine hung at 100% complete with a command window open. Before I closed the command window I started the database service but not the listener. The install proceeded to fail during the db cache and portal install. I exited out of the install, started the dbTNSlistener, and any iSuitesagent services(not sure if this helped but I'm happy now!)Then, I restarted the machine. Then start/programs/iSuites/portalConfigAssistant and it worked.
    If none of this makes sense I can email you the documentation I kept while installing.

  • Oracle 11.5.9.02 Installation problems

    Hi Everyone,
    I just bought Oracle Applications Version 11.5.9.02. I am having problems at 2 places.
    1) When i start the Rapid Installation, it takes me to the list where it aske DNS Domain Name.I dont know what to put in there(I tried to put localhost or 127.0.0.1) but it does not work.I have Win2000 Pro.
    2) When it gives me warning that one of the things did not pass through, I clicked yes and proceeded towards the installation.After unzipping 121 files it get stuck at
    ..oracle\visdb\9.2.0\appsutil\driver\instconf.drv(i-e 99%)
    I will really appreciate if anyone can assist me in this.
    Thank you very much

    You can install in w2000 sp2 or windows xp or windows xp sp1...etc. Done that many times.
    For fully qualified domain name, just follow this.
    Got to Network - > Local Area Connection -> right click Properties -> click TCP/IP properties -> advanced -> click DNS tab -> enter DNS suffix for this connection as your domain like yahoo.com or oracle.com (just for sample). Then your fully qualified domain is pc-name.yahoo.com like that.
    In rapidwiz you need to give only domain.name what you have filled in "DNS suffix for this connection" like yahoo.com
    GoodLuck

    Gurhan,
    I think it has nothing to do setting the JRE enviroment .from what I could remember is you have to install a JRE enviroment patch..
    If you check you insallation documentation..
    it tell you where to get the patch from..and I also think that you have to create symbolic link...
    If you need more info on this..I could send you the URL..where you could get the patch..
    send me an email..if you need futher assistance..I could then send you the url to get the patches from...
    good luck.

    I cannot make Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 work under Windows 2008. The server's host name is SARABI. Anything of the following takes place on SARABI, no remote access is involved.
    The procedure has been as follows...
    - Windows 2008 was installed
    - Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 was installed
    - listener.ora, sqlnet.ora, tnsnames.ora were modified
    - no other Oracle configuration file was touched
