Oracle 8 on PENTIUM IV

hi
kindly someone will guide me what steps have to be taken while installing oracle 8 on pentium 4
i mean what files are to be handele during the installation.
kindly guide me step wise
Regards

Hi,
It will be a good idea to go thru the installation doc before doing the install. There are too many steps to write here. AFAIK, there are no issues of oracle8 on P4.
BTW, why do you want to install oracle8? You will benefit, if you go for 9i or atleast the terminal release of 8i.

Oracle and Pentium 4. It;s a ****** shame !! Not the first time...

Just some frustration
I don't like it to be a beta-tester for a company like Oracle
which makes that much profit.
Five examples:
1999: Oracle Application Server 4.0.7. (OAS) on Windows NT.
Service pack 5 is installed on most NT boxes (even in
Afghanistan). Oracle logic...OAS 4.0.7 has to be installed with
SP3....:-)
2000: The Oracle installer has a Y2K bug. No public
announcements made. A simple statement on Metalink and a hell of
a job to find the patch "installer 3.3.0.1 (??)"
1999/2000: Release of Developer 6 and Oracle 8.1.5.
First step: you've to install Developer 6. Second step: install
the database.
Typical Oracle logic...:-). I do not start with the roof when
I'm building a house.... A few months after the 8i release ,
Oracle published the proper installation procedure for this
combination.
2000/2001: Designer 6iR2 cannot be uninstalled on Windows W2K.
A "beta tester" in the field (so..you or me), with the name
Dimitri, had to make a remark on OTN. Compliments to Brian Duff
of Oracle who initiated the release 4 of Designer.
2001: Oracle 8i cannot be installed on Pentium 4
machines..Cause..a bug in the universal installer.
Only with workarounds which partly work or do not not work at
all. ... Oracle ..it's a shame.
Larry..many thousands of "oracle-fans" cannot appreciate your
arrogant attitude. These people want to work with stuff which
can do the job !
They do not want to be beta-testers for the sake of increasing
Oracle profits. This policy reflects itself in higher costs for
the smaller companies..ie: buying Oracle software which does not
work.

Hi,
I don't think so. As soon as a question / request is too "hard
to answer" Oracle reacts with "radio silence" (like with the Y2K
bug in Oracle installer).
The Intel website emphasis this bug in Oracle 8i products.
It states:
If you are installing into Windows* 2000, one workaround
recommendation by Oracle for this problem is:
Install the latest Windows* 2000 Service Pack patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/
Create a temporary directory on your Intel Pentium. 4 processor
server (e.g. \TEMP).
Copy the contents of the Oracle* Server CD to the temporary
directory created in step 2.
Search the directory structure created in step 2 for the
existence of the filename SYMCJIT.DLL.
Rename each copy of the SYMCJIT.DLL to SYMCJIT.OLD.
Run the SETUP.EXE from the \TEMP\install\win32 directory and
install Oracle 8.1.x.
If you have any other questions on this work around, please
contact Oracle
Up to now no reaction. Oracle sucks

Oracle 8i/Pentium 4 load issue

Intel has acknowledged an issue between Oracle 8i install and the Pentium 4 (see http://support.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/issues.htm). Does anyone know if, when, or where a new new symantec dll has been compiled and released to address this issue. The work around described in the article did allow Oracle to load but Oracle did not seem to operate correctly.
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Have you found any workaround or updated patch to solve this? I seem to have run into the same issue trying to install 8i on a new Pent4 machine today.
Have got one of my DBAs working on looking for a fix.

Oracle 8i & 9i Vs Pentium 4

Recently My friend bought a Pentium 4 Machine pre-installed with Windows 2000 Professional. He downloaded Oracle 8i Enterprise and when we tried to Install it there was no response. But when we tried the Same Oracle in Pentium III its working fine. Where will be the Problem...? I heard the same complaint in Pentium 4 machines with windows 2000. But Oracle 8 is installing in Windows 98 in the same pentium 4 machine. Please help me by giving a good solution....

Hi -
The bug is with the Symantic ( spelled correctly ? ) Just in time Compiler used with the installer.
A quick workaround is to dump the complete install CD ( in your case the downloaded s/w stage ) to disk and rename the symjit????.dll ( Search the stage area for symjit???.dll ) to symjit???.old. Then start the installer from the staging area. I think the installer tries to use the jit dll if its there and since the one that is shipped is buggy on PIV you just need to rename it so that it won't be used. The installer work's fine without this dll.
HTH,

Can I install Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition on Windows 2000 Professional

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have Windows 2000 professional edition loaded on my PC and I'm not sure what it allows. Can I load Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition of the database on this operating system, or do I need to load windows 2000 server software.
Thanks
Ryan

Its a problem with oracle and pentium 4 processors actually. The solution involves renaming or deleting the symcjit.dll in the 8i installation package after you've copied the whole Cd onto your HDD!
I've tried this and it install OK, with a few errors along the way, now I can't get the apache server working, nor on the 9i AS that I've installed as well. Let me know if you get anything useful please?

I can not install Oracle 8i 1.6 Client for NT on an Intel pentium 4 Machine

Hi all,
I've heard the java virtual m installed during the installation of oracle client manager 8i 1.6 on a Intel Pentium IV is bugy till now we could n't bring it to runn. Is there anyone who has the uptodate Patch or work around for that problem?
I will be pleased to read any of the suggestions
Thanks and regards.
Gallican

I think you would need to contact Oracle support to get the CD's if they're still available. 8.1.6 is desupported.
What kind of errors do you get whne trying to use Crystal with Oracle 8.1.7.4? Perhaps this is an ODBC issue?

Oracle 8i installation problem on Win XP pro, Pentium 4

I am trying to install oracle 8i on Pentium 4 PC, Win XP professional Operating system, 512MB RAM.
When I run setup.exe then it is silent, no response.
I installed java J2SDk1.4.0 standard edition, and Java runtime environment. It is still the same problem.
Would you please let me know what should I do ??
Thanks.
Mohammad

Well
1. Copy the entire contents of your Oracle8i cd into hard disk. The folder can be any name but not "oracle"
2. Do a find files in the local hard disk where oracle files is copied in Step 1. Look for --> jit
3. Rename the file to something like jit_old
4. Run the installer. It should work now.
But better check on web there might be some issues related to java later when u need to install java software into the PC.
Happy install

Can't install Oracle 8i EE 8.1.7 release3 on Pentium 4 machine

Hi folks,
We are upgrading our PCs from Pentium 3 to Pentium 4, but we are having problems with Pentium 4 PCs: we are unable to install Oracle 8i Enterprise edition (8.1.7, release 3) on all our P4 machines (OS Win2000 professional; Gateway Pentium 4; 1.5 GHz speed; 256 MB RAM). Whenever we tried to install Oracle 8i (8.1.7, EE, release 3), its dead after running 3-4 seconds.
We had no problem with Pentium 3 PCs when we installed Oracle.
Have you successfully installed Oracle 8i (8.1.7 E.E r3 ) on you P4 machines? Since our PCs are all Gateway machines, I dont know if its a Gateway issue or an Oracle issue, please help me, thank you very much.

Hi!
The solution for Intel Pentium 4 and Oracle problems is the following...
1.)
Download JRE v1.1.8_008. Link for it: http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/download-jre-windows.html
2.)
Install JRE (onto any machine - we only need one file from it), search for the filename "symcjit.dll", and make a copy of it somewhere.
3.)
Now copy the contents of your Oracle CD(s) to a temporary directory on your harddisk. Eg. D:\oracle_install
4.)
Search for the filename "symcjit.dll" in your temporary directory (D:\oracle_install), and replace all instances with the one that you saved in Step No. 2.
5.)
Start the setup from your temporary directory, and all will be fine...
Zsolt M.
PS: This works for all Oracle products that are using Oracle Universal Installer (that means really all Oracle products... :) )
PS2: Some people think that the Intel P4 problem only concerns Windows 2000 and XP. They are wrong. The older (pre JRE v1.1.8_006) symcjit.dll libraries contain some functions that do not properly identify the Intel P4 processor, and therefor fail... This is a common problem with the old Symantec Java JustInTime Compiler and Intel Pentium 4 CPUs that affects all Oracle products (which use the old libraries) under all Windows operating systems.

Oracle forms 6i (Pentium 4, Win98) "Can not install"

I have a "customized" Oracle interface that was created in Oracle forms 6. I have successfully used this form on Windows 95 Clients but now I must switch to a Windows 98 O/S on a Pentium 4 machine. I actually had to download a special Oracle Installer to install the 8i Client, but I now need to load a newer version of the Forms "run-time" and can not install it from the 6i forms download. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

Forms 6i installation in Windows98 should not give any trouble. Hope you
have checked the memory. You should have 128MB memory to install
Forms6i. In Runtime you may not actually require that much of memory but
to install you reuire that (Please see Hardware requirement for Form6i).

Can't load Oracle 8i on Pentium 4

I tried to install Oracle 8i ver 8.1.6 on a pentium 4 machine (HCL infiniti 2000) on Windows 98 O.S, but the Oracle universal installer doesn't start and gave the error.
This program performed Illegal Operation and will be shutdown
error javai.dll pagefault.
I found that this is due to the JVM version provided with Oracle 8i. Pentium 4 supports JVM ver 1.3 & above. where as Oracle 8i comes with JVM 1.1.7.
I can't run Javac onf JDK ver 1.2.1 and in lower versions. but it runs on JDK version 1.3.
plese let me know if any patches available to solve this problem.

Intel says there is a bug in oracle's OUI as well other swing based programs. The solution is to copy the CD to local drive and add -nojit as first parameter to JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS e.g. JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS="-nojit -mx32m"
This will enable OUI to run. Even after installing oracle Net80 conf. asst won't start due to same reason.
Go to HOME\admin\tools\ and edit netca.cl and netasst.cl to add same -nojit before -classpath.
Do this for every tool that gives this prob such DBA studio...

Oracle 8.1.7 on pentium 4 : how to do

Hello,
I've just sent a post on another Oracle forum form a workaround concerning
this installation and the running of Oracle 8.1.7 on boxes with
pentium 4 processor.
You can see it at the following location:
Re: Problem with downlaod
Hope this can help you !

Pierre Bourgin

Thanx!. This was the problem i have been experiencing and very frustrated over. I was vesed over it. Thought for sure my java environment was hosed somehow and scoured the install and oracle universal installer docs to see what i was not setting up properly.
The symptoms - i would click on setup.exe, and then nothing comes up. No gui. Just silently fails. Same for 9i. So i followed these instructions on the link and bingo! install works like a champ. Lot of work but worth it. Kinda sad that you have to go to such gyrations. However happy days that i found this entry on OTN.!!! Many thanks for this entry. Saved many HOURS of debug.

How to install oracle client on pentium 4

please can someone tell me how to install oracle client 8i on pentium 4 system. the installation is not going automaticlly , and if i explore the cd and press on the setup file the installing didnt start.

8i definitely has problems with Pentium IV processors. The fix is to copy the entire CD to the hard drive and then rename each copy of symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.

Centos 4.4 compatibility with Oracle 10.1.0.3 on a Pentium

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Pentium 4 is an x86 architecture (32b or 64b I am not sure how to determine).
But, I did a little research and below is what Oracle says from a minimum o/s standpoint for Oracle 10.1.x
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 (base release or higher)
o Kernel 2.6.9-5.EL (minimum)
I logged on and found the following:
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-42.EL #1 Sat Aug 12 09:17:58 CDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I then created a script to verify compatibility (Metalink Note: Note:392940.1)
[root@localhost ~]# /root/chk_os.sh
RedHat unknown 2.6.9-42 is not certified with 10g
Question: is 2.6.9-42 I higher version of the kernel thatn 2.6.9-5?
Should this be supported?

no problem here for the kernel
2.6.9-42.0.0.1 is the kernel coming with RH4 U4, the current patch level of RH4
2.6.9-5 is the version in the base release of RH4, I think
Oracle 10.x is certainly supported on kernel 2.6.9-42.x.x.x which is higher than 2.6.9-5
for the other prerequisites, concerning required packages and settings
you still need to check the install guide
