Oracle VM 3.1.1 Yum repository

Hello,
As far as the documentation says, the Yum repository should be set only at the Oracle VM Manager.
1. Is there a way to add more than one yum repository address ?
2. Is there a way to check which are the available packages for each Oracle VM server, through the Oracle VM
3. Is there a way to install just a single package from the repository, not to perform upgrade
Thanks

It's just ordinary old yum on the server doing the work, so you can do whatever you want. (Maybe Oracle would quibble about what is "supported", of course.)
When you set the yum repository URL from the manager, he just (from what I've seen) sets up the /etc/yum.repos.d file on all the servers. I assume, but haven't checked, that the file wouldn't get updated after that. So, you can update that file to add more repositories, if you want to.
And you can certainly run "yum list updates" and "yum update xxx" manually on whatever servers you want to.

Uln_register error when trying to create a local yum repository

trying to setup a local repository on ol6 first time following this linkhttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/yum-repository-setup-085606.html, and got the following message when I run uln_register to register. I know i need to make some change in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, but don't know what needs to be done. I added my company's proxy in enablehttp=xxx, but still not working. Please help me out. thanks.
We can't contact the Unbreakable Linux
Network Server.
Double check the location provided - is
'https://linux-update.oracle.com/XMLRPC'
correct?
If not, you can correct it and try again.
Make sure that the network connection on
this system is operational.

in command line, adding proxy works. Thanks.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 - How to define the YUM repository URL

The documentation shows an example or two about how to define the URL of the Yum repository I created, but it doesn't seem to define EXACTLY what to do. For example, the URL to the directory with my RPMs in it is:
http://my-yum.acbl.net/yum/OracleVM/OVM3/3.1.1/patch/x86_64/getPackage
Can someone tell me how much of that path I should enter into the "YUM Base URL" sub-tab under the "Tools and Resources" tab in the VM Manager? I have tried to make an intelligent guess (or two), but it's not updating properly, and I don't know if I'm entering the URL properly.

Thank you. I'll try that, and update this again, if it seems to be wrong.
I actually opened an SR on this, and asked this same question. After several hours, I got a response, something like "What part of the documentation do you find unclear?". I tried to carefully explain that the docs don't (as best I can tell) define how much of the path should be in the URL given to Oracle VM. I still haven't heard back.

Up2date http forbidden error when trying to use local yum repository

I have recently set up a local yum repository according to the directions in the document located at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/yum-repo-setup-1659167.html
Now, when I run up2date -u, I get the following output:
There was a fatal error communicating with the server. The message was:

Thinking this was a problem with my repository or web server setup, I used wget to download the header.info file mentioned in the error, but this works perfectly as shown from the output below:

Actually, I have set up both. The only uncommented lines in the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file are:

I also have a repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d. In that file the only sections marked enabled are the following:

Thanks for the helpFirst of all, having both of these setup is completely redundant. The only difference between these two channels is that the el5 channel contains rpms from before the release of OL5.6 and up to now and the ol5 channel only contains everything since OL5.6 to now.
Second, can you post the entire sources file?
Third, though Dude isn't completely correct about the use of up2date, you can use yum on OL5 to get updates from the server, but you'd need to just use yum and not up2date in that case. For some reason, when you configure up2date to use yum via the sources file it uses a completely different stack of yum software other than the yum client that is installed by the yum rpms. Instead, it uses the older header format provided by yum-arch. When you use yum by itself, it uses the metadata that's created from createrepo instead (think repodata).
Fourth, you may have better luck with using the yum client overall. And actually, in the long run you would be better served to use yum since asa OL4 is phased out, we're going to discontinue yum-arch which will in turn stop the up2date clients from working in this scenario. (Note: we don't use yum-arch to generate header information for ULN.)

Yum Repository Setup

Hi there,
I have been following the instruction fro the following page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html
and I got to step 7. Run createrepo
but createrepo is not installed nor downloadable from oracle, I believe it has something to do with step 3. Install uln-yum-proxy.
up2date -i uln-yum-proxy
The following packages you requested were not found:
uln-yum-proxy
This is not important I was trying it for learning purpose, but it would be nice if it did work.
Can i download redhat's createrepo package or that will not work?
Many Thanks
Ricardo

Sergio I already cdid this step but I still can't find the uln-yum-proxy file. Any comments?
Thanks in advance

Yum repository

Hello sir
Can I get the link of Your YUM repository so that I can configure in .repo file to point to your yum repository for packages.Is there any payment we need to do for that.Now we want packages named yast2-country.2.13.35, yast2-users, autoyast2-installation, yast2-bootloader, yast2-mouse, yast2-online-update, yast2-packager, yast2-storage, yast2-update, .Can you please provide from where I get these packages.These packages are asked when I tried to install yast-installation rpm. Waiting for you response

You didn't drill deep enough while looking at the repo:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/7/base/i386/
You must download the public-yum-el5.repo repository setup file, as directed.
Open the file in an editor.
What version of OL do you have? Leave that stanza alone. Comment out all other stanza using an octothorp (#), just like the shell uses.

Remove an oracle home entry from the central repository

Does anyone know how to remove an oracle home entry from the central repository (inventory.xml file), after the oracle home in question has been deleted. It is left behind and I want to clean it up.
thanks

I went to the link you have posted and it did not help me.
I cannot get rid of my Oracle Home directory. When I attempt to delete this folder, I
get an error message:
oci.dll ...is write protected or in use..
So I deleted this oci.dll file. Then I rebooted and tried to delete the OraHome directory (folder)
again, and I get the SAME error!!
Thanks for any advice.

Can't use Oracle 8.1.7 as WLP repository

OK, I've been racking my brain on this for three days now.. maybe someone has an
idea...
The basic problem is this: I have yet been able to make a WLP content repository
work with
Oracle 8.1.7 and WLP 8.1.
I have tried several methods, including the ones mentioned here:
http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/db/3Oracle.html (to move cgPool to an Oracle
database), and by creating a completely new portal domain from scratch, using
"Custom" (instead of Express) from the configuration wizard, setting up the JDBC
pools to point to Oracle (connection passed, database load passed correctly).
I then deploy a simple Portal Application / Portal Project created in workshop
as an EAR
(let's call it testPortal). Deployment seems to go fine. The outcome of all
methods is the same: the administration portal works fine. When I click on "Content",
I see the BEA repository. I can add nodes to the repository, AS LONG AS THEY
ARE DIRECTLY UNDER the BEA repository (for example: BEA Repository/TestNode).
However, if I try to add a node under that node (for example: BEA Repository/TestNode/TestNodeChild),
I get the following error from the admin portal as a popup box:
- Error creating Node: TestChildNode. Please verify the Node name size is within
Repository limits.
I can add any number of content items (including the standard content types that
were loaded:
article, book, image, etc) or nodes directly under BEA Repository, but I cannot
add anything under other nodes or the above error appears.
Some data is definitely getting to Oracle. After adding a node under BEA Repository,
a record for that node shows up in the database. The JDBC log shows an ORA-2291
(constraint violated) error (from jdbc.log):
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (DIAGEOCMS.FK1_CM_NODE)
v
iolated - parent key not found
This foreign key constraint is a pointer for the parent id of the node, back into
the cm_node table.
If I roll back the cgPool to pointbase, it works fine. Just not with an Oracle
8.1.7 cgPool
(or any other name, for that matter). I have tested this under both Win 2K and
Linux AS.
Other details: I did use a non-XA driver as suggested in the edocs link above.
For the cgPool, I used the Oracle Type 4 non-XA driver. I changed all the relevant
data sources to point at the new pool. And I did change the cgJMS store to use
the new pool as well.
Is anyone else successfully using Oracle 8.1.7 and Portal 8.1 with the repository?
Sorry for the length of the message.. difficult one to explain.
Thanks,
Bob

D'oh.
OK, it turns out that our staging database was NOT the Oracle 8.1.7.4 I thought
it was. Migrated from the 8.1.7.0 database to 8.1.7.4 resolved this problem.

Oracle TNS 12535 error after moving repository DB from Win NT to Win 2K

Business Objects 5.1
We have recently moved an Oracle database from Windows NT to Windows 2000. One particular user keeps on getting ORA-12535: TNS: operation timed out.
What could be causing this?
The user can run SQL*Plus and connect to the database without any problems.
The user gets this error when running BO itself. When running our Application or any other Oracle tool or utility (TOAD, SQL*Plus), etc, then all works fine.
From my own PC I can use the 'problem' users BO login to connect to the repository.
So the nature of the problem suggests a network or configuration issue of some kind. We have limited BO expertise at this site.
Please can someone advise?
regards,
MK

Hi Mo,
If the previous solution provided doesnu2019t works then check the following things:
1. Check the ORACLE_HOME value in the Registry and ensure that your PC has only one "ociw32.dll" file.
2. Confirm that the PATH environment variable definition's first Oracle /bin folder path points to the middleware
installation you intend Supervisor to use.
3. Add the repository database server's IP address to the local HOSTS file.
4. Confirm the repository database's entry in the Oracle TNSNames.ora file.

Oracle Business Rules : File Type Rules Repository Creation Problem

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to create File Type Rules Repository(SOA Suite 10.1.3.3).
As per the documentation:user Guide
Oracle Business Rules supplies a blank file repository that does not contain a dictionary. This file repository is named "emptyFileRepository" and is located in the
$ORACLE_HOME/rules/lib directory.To setup a new file repository, copy and rename the emptyFileRepository file.
Then, provide this file name and location in the Repository Connect page
I did the same thing.I copied the emptyFileRepository and renamed the file.After giving the file location and click on the Create button it is throwing the error "Please provide a valid directory path." Please Help me to fix this.
The same kind of the question was posted on the same forum which was un answered.Please guide me to fix the problem.I googled a lot but no help found.
please route me to proper source.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,

I was able to create repository for business rules few weeks ago perhaps I was using an old version of the firefox, now I upgraded to firefox 3.5.7 and get the same error. IE 7 hangs, did you get a solution yet?
I am planning to downgrade my firefox and give it a try. Please update if you find a fix.

What should I do to see other AW's then BISAMPLE?
Thanks in advance!
