Oracle BI SE One Installation problem - Please help

Question

Hi,
I am trying to install Oracle BISE1 on a virtual machine having a Win Server 2003 (32 bit) OS. In the last step...I got stuck with the installation of Configuration Assistant and the error which I got was:
Command = C:\oracle\bise1\db\install\bise1config.bat has failed
Execution Error : BISE1 Configuration Assistant failed
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
     at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:189)
     at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:231)
     at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:345)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java:428)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.getConnectionInstance(OracleDriver.java:515)
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:345)
     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:512)
     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:171)

     at oracle.as.config.bise1.action.UnlockAccounts.execute(UnlockAccounts.java:35)
     at oracle.as.config.bise1.BISE1ConfigAssistant.main(BISE1ConfigAssistant.java:76)
Then in one of the similar previous post I read that this problem could be solved by giving administrative privileges to the file "E:\oracle\bise1b\db\install\bise1config.bat"
[Previous Post for the same problem -  http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=955418&tstart=60 ]
I did that and hit the retry button. But this time I am getting a different error as follows :-
The Oracle system identifier(SID) "bise1db" already exists.
Specify another SID
I guess this is my 4-5 attempt in the last one month. I have been unsuccessful in all my attempts so far. Kindly help at the earliest.
Thanks.

Answer 1

This behaviour is due to known bug in patch detection algorithm which has been fixed in MU1 release.
You have two options: you can either download S1AS7 MU1 release which contains fix for this problem or you can use following workaround: temporarily rename /usr/bin/showrev file and start installation. Installer will report that it cannot detect patch level of the system, but it will let you proceed with installation. Once installation is done, revert showrev file to the original name.
Thank you.
