Printing from Red Hat Linux via command line - Landscape

Hello, First off, I am unable to print via the command line using this command: cat o3700491.out | /usr/bin/acroread -toPostScript -landscape | lp -dPrinterName The error I receive is: <stdin>: lp: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent. any ideas?

Hi Scott, In this case, the error message is coming because acroread is expecting a pdf file in the standard input(stdin). And as it gets a non pdf file, it does not get processed. Try the command using a pdf file : cat a.pdf | /usr/bin/acroread -toPostScript -landscape | lp -d <PrinterName> This will surely work. I hope you are using 8.1.3 version of acroread. Please feel free to come back in case of any issues. Regards, Rishi

PostgreSql JDBC from Red Hat Linux works on Windows not on Linux

I started using ODI from a Windows XP box in development and Beta, and was successfully connecting to and loading data from several different database platforms including a PostgreSql database. I copied the PostgreSql JDBC driver to the ODI drivers folder, set up the connection information and it worked. When I moved from Windows XP to "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 6)", I could no longer connect to this PostgreSql database. I put the same driver jar file "postgresql-8.3-603.jdbc3.jar" in the drivers folder and used the same connection string. All of the other drivers (Oracle, MS SQL, etc.) in that driver folder work correctly on this Linux box. I can even tell ODI to connect to the PostgreSql through the agent on the Windows XP machine and it works. That suggests that the URL must be OK, but for some reason it can't connect from the Linux box. I also tried updating to the newest driver"postgresql-8.3-604.jdbc3.jar" with no success.
Any Ideas on what I may have missed?

Landscape Printing in adobe reader in Red hat linux

Hello Friends
I want Some help. I am using Red hat Linux on server and adobe Acrobat reader . when click on print option and set the option to landscape the output printout came in potrait and not landscape. Can any body please tell me what is the problem!

I have the same problem in openSUSE 11.1 64bit, except that this is with only one printer. If the page is portrait it prints in landscape, and if it is landscape it prints portrait, but across one end of the paper. Will not print correctly whatever I try. Changing the Autorotate or Portrait/Landscape settings has no effect.
The printer is an HP Business Inkjet 2200 which works fine with Adobe Reader 8 & 9 on SUSE 11.1 & 11.2 32bit. I've tried changing the printer drivers, etc but no fix. I can print to my other printer (HP LaserJet 2300) with no problems. Both printers are on a network with internal JetDirect cards. I have 2 desktops and a laptop ion the network, and all 3 are using the same hplip-cups drivers.
The workaround I am using is to print from Adobe Reader to a file, and then print the resulting Postscript file using Ghostscript. This works fine and keeps any settings I put in in Adobe Reader, such as multiple pages per sheet.

Upgrading from 10.5 to 10.6 via command line

Hi all:
Can anybody tell me what package(s) should be installed when upgrading a 10.5 server to 10.6? I don't need any of the language kits or printer drivers or X11, just the basic install option. I'd like to install the packages via command line, but there are a few that look relevant and I'm not sure which ones to install.
These look promising:
MacOSXServerInstall.mpkg
MacOSXServerInstall.pkg
OSInstall.mpkg
OSInstall.pkg
OSUpgrade.pkg
Thanks,
Brewster

Looks like I can just ARD into the machine while booted from the DVD, so this is moot. :P

How do I get LR2 to "load from device" via command line?

Hi,
how do I get LR2 to "load from device" via command line?
I've got XP to load LR2 when a "camera" (and only a camera) is connected but really cool would be if LR2 would also import the pictures.

Have anyone upgraded Red Hat Linux AS from 4.4 to 4.6 of EBS11510.2(CU2)?

Hi,
Have anyone upgraded Red Hat Linux AS from 4.4 to 4.6 of EBS11510.2(CU2)?
Please advice any issue/concerned etc?
Thanks,

You need to relink all binaries after an OS Upgrade to ensure that everything is working as expected.
- Take a backup of the application/database
- Upgrade the OS
- Relink all binaries
- Start up the application/database
- Take another backup once you confirm that everything works properly

[SOLVED] How to Create an Image from UTF8 Text via Command-line

As the title points out, I'm trying to create an image from unicode text via command line. I tried...
convert -pointsize 48 -size 400 caption:测试用 text.png
But that results in question marks for the Chinese characters. So searching around online I discovered that I needed to specify a font which could display the characters. The characters show up just fine in Firefox, KDE, Kate, Terminal, etc so I know I have a font which can render them. I thought it might be DejaVu but this also resulted in question marks...
convert -font /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf -pointsize 48 -size 400 caption:测试用 text.png
Any ideas?
Last edited by tony5429 (2011-01-31 23:17:41)

DejaVu doesn't contain those Chinese glyphs at all, so please don't blame ImageMagick for not rendering them.
So, Firefox, Kate, Terminal and the others you stated to use DejaVu, if encounter these characters, fall back to some other fonts to render them. These fonts are, however, not vector, but bitmap fonts. (This can be seen if you increase text size (Ctrl++ in Firefox): the Chinese characters don't change, they remain of their inherent size.)
Actually, e.g. /usr/share/fonts/misc/18x18ko.pcf.gz definitely contains the three example characters, so the mentioned apps may use this font as fall back.
Apparently ImageMagick doesn't handle bitmap fonts (I'm not sure), so you won't be able to hit your original target. Anyway, since you tried to parse "-pointsize 48", you wouldn't be satisfied with the font size.
Your only choice seems to be using the above mentioned CJK-approved TTFs.

Printing UTF-8 text via command line (i.e. 10.5-ready enscript for UTF-8)

Hello,
(I asked this question in the Leopard discussion section, but was advised to use this forum.)
I am using some terminal-based tools like Alpine and Vim, both with UTF-8 text encoding. Printing, however, is a problem, because the UTF-8 characters are not correctly printed. For Alpine I use enscript, but it does not support UTF-8. (Currently I convert UTF-8 to latin1 first using iconv before sending it to enscript, but special characters get lost that way.) For Vim I use CUPS-PDF, a virtual PDF printer, but also here UTF-8 characters does not make it (even though CUPS-PDF works for UTF-8 in Cocoa apps).
Paps as an alternative to enscript may work, but I don't want to spend much time currently installing all necessary libraries.
I am wondering if I can use Leopard's printing natively. *Is there a command line tool ready for OS 10.5 that accepts UTF-8 text and converts it to PS/PDF or sends it directly to a selected printer queue?*
Thanks!

I think you can use enscript for 8 bit code. You just have to set the option. if you check the users guide you may be able to use an option to honor 8 bit code. I haven't tried it, but my .enscriptrc looks like
cat .enscriptrc

Failed Installation of Oracle8i on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
I have successfully installed Oracle8i(8.1.6) Enterprise edition on Red Hat Linux 7.0 but while running the Database Configuration Assistant, it stops at the database initialization portion.

Richard,
It's a glib problem. 8i uses the glib 2.1 libraries, while RH7 uses the 2.2. There is a patch available from oracle support, or you can find a solution that has worked for me twice on the otn discussion forum.

Installation of OracleAS 10g on Red Hat Linux ES 3.0

Installation of Oracle AS 10g on RedHat ES 3.0
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
Copy from OTN Note
Start
Oracle 10g is certified to run the base release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (Advanced Server and Enterprise Server) without updates. If you have update CDs, you can use the boot CD from the update instead of the boot CD from the base release to automatically apply all updates during the installation. All updates from Red Hat are supported by Oracle.
1.     Boot the server using the first CD.
o     You may need to change your BIOS settings to allow booting from the CD.
2.     The boot screen appears with the boot: prompt at the bottom of the screen.
o     Select Enter to continue with a graphical install on the console. (For other installation methods and options, refer to the Red Hat Installation Guide.)
o     The installer scans your hardware, briefly displays the Red Hat splash screen, and then begins a series of screen prompts.
3.     Language Selection
o     Accept the default.
4.     Keyboard Configuration
o     Accept the default.
5.     Welcome Screen
o     Click on Next.
6.     Mouse Configuration
o     Accept the default.
7.     Installation Type
o     Select Custom.
8.     Disk Partitioning Setup
o     A thorough treatment of disk partitioning is beyond the scope of this article, which assumes that you are familiar with disk partitioning methods.
(WARNING: Improperly partitioning a disk is one of the surest and fastest ways to wipe out everything on your hard disk. If you are unsure how to proceed, stop and get help, or you will risk losing data!)
This article uses the following partitioning scheme, with ext3 for each filesystem:
The 9GB disk on the first controller (/dev/sda) will hold all Linux and Oracle software and contains the following partitions:
- 100MB /boot partition
-1,500MB swap partitionâSet this to at least twice the amount of RAM in the system but to no more than 2GB (32-bit systems do not support swap files larger than 2GB). If you need more than 2GB of swap space, create multiple swap partitions.
-7,150MB root partitionâ This partition will be used for everything, including /usr, /tmp, /var, /opt, /home, and more. This was done purely to simplify installation for the purposes of this guide. A more robust partitioning scheme would separate these directories onto separate filesystems.
9.     Boot Loader Configuration
o     Accept the default.
10.     Network Configuration
o     It is usually best to configure database servers with a static IP address. To do so, click on Edit.
o     A pop-up window appears. Uncheck the Configure using DHCP box, and enter the IP Address and Netmask for the server. Be sure that Activate on boot is checked, and click on OK.
o     In the Hostname box, select manually and enter the hostname.
o     In the Miscellaneous Settings box, enter the remaining network settings.
11.     Firewall Configuration
o     For the purposes of this walk-through, no firewall is configured. Select No firewall.
12.     Additional Language Support
o     Accept the default.
13.     Time Zone Selection
o     Choose the time settings that are appropriate for your area. Setting the system clock to UTC is usually a good practice for servers. To do so, click on System clock uses UTC.
14.     Set Root Password
o     Enter a password for root, and enter it again to confirm.
15.     Package Group Selection
o     Select only the package sets shown here. Leave all others unselected.
o     Desktop
- X Window System
- Gnome
- KDE
- See my comments in the RHES 2.1 section regarding choice of GUI.
o     Applications
- Editors
- Graphical Internet
o     Servers
- Do not select anything in this group.
o     Development
- Development Tools
o     System
- Administration Tools
o     Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Do not select anything in this group.
o     Miscellaneous
- Legacy Software Development
o     Click on Next to proceed.
16.     About to Install
o     Click on Next.
17.     Installing Packages
o     Software will be copied to the hard disk and installed. Change disks as prompted, and click on Next when the installation is complete.
18.     Graphical Interface (X) Configuration
o     Accept the defaults unless the installer does not recognize your video card. If your video card is not recognized, you will not be able to continue.
19.     Monitor Configuration
o     Accept the default if the installer correctly identifies your monitor. Otherwise, select a compatible monitor from the list.
20.     Customize Graphical Configuration
o     Accept the defaults.
21.     Congratulations
o     Remove the installation media from the system, and click on Next.
22.     The system automatically reboots and presents a new welcome screen.
o     Click on Next.
23.     License Agreement
o     Read the license agreement. If you agree to the terms, select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement and click on Next.
24.     Date and Time
o     Set the Date and Time.
o     If you want to use an NTP server (recommended), select Enable Network Time Protocol and enter the name of the NTP server.
25.     User Account
o     Create an account for yourself.
o     Do not create an account for oracle at this time. Creating the oracle account is covered later in this section.
26.     Red Hat Network
o     If you want to use or activate your Red Hat Network account now, accept the default, click on Next, and follow the product activation instructions that accompanied your Red Hat product.
27.     Additional CDs
o     Click on Next.
28.     Finish Setup
o     Click on Next.
29.     A graphical login screen appears.
30.     Congratulations! Your Linux software is now installed.

Installation will start while installing and reaches at ~50% then go to /oracle/appsrv/infra/bin open relink file and change at line # 50 i.e. remove 2 brackets
] âo [ and at line # 102 make= /usr/ccs/bin/make to /usr/bin/make remove ccs and save the file
There will no error in installation in infrastructure
Same as done with relink file in Middle tier installation. I would like to turn ur attention for a serious problem no one asked about it. Here u have seen that a script make 3 file in /usr/local/bin for infrastructure and middle tier when u finished infrastructureâs installation plz rename that 3 files as
Mv coredb coredb-infra
Mv dbhome dbhome-infra
Mv ora     â¦     oraâ¦-infra
If u overwrite that files by creating same name of middle tier files no problem.
When problem comes?
AS will work fine but when u have to install patches on AS then problem comes if u have overwrite that files. So plz rename them before creation of same files of middle tier. Thanx

We have the following problems:
1. I am having a box running RHEL 3.0 (got from centos.org). I have Oracle 10g running ok. Now I tried to install ASMLIB downloaded from technet. The files are:

Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
Thanks again,
Virendra

I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
The Must PDF's to refer before installation
1)r1152ins.pdf
2)11iconcepts.pdf
According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
The installation process can be divided into
Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
2)1-11 CD's
1-3 Application Top information
4th Oracle DB
5-6 IAS and other tools
7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
Installation Types
Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
Test ==>For test Env Purposes
Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
Pre-Installation steps
======================
Space Requirement for types of installtions
Install VC++
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
Env path setting
Create Applmgr user in Win2000
Space Requirement for types installtion:
Memory Requirement
1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
HDD capacity
APP_Top(A)
COMMON_TOP(C)
DATA_TOP(D)
Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
Plus space for ur staging area.
This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
Softwares on System
Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
Install VC++:
Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
Evaluation copy from
http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
This can be done by performing the following steps:
NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
The directory contains the following files:
README
djtarnt.exe
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe
Only two of the files are required:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
3) Point your browser to the following
URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
The files needed from this directory are:
make-3.77.tar.gz
make-3.78.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.1.tar.gz
make-3.79.tar.gz
Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
See [NOTE:115937.1]
for work around. RELATED DOCUMENTS ----------------- For Microsoft Visual C++, MKS Toolkit and

http://www.gnu.org/ Note:104010.1: Release 11i on NT: Software Requirements
Note:115937.1: GNU Make won't make on windows NT
Important:All the downloaded files from GNU makes web sites shall be put in a single folder called gnumake under c:\ .Try to search for config.bat file inside this folders just click and
run it.
Env path setting:
Try to search make.exe generated in c:\program files\mkstoolkit\mksnt and copy and paste it
c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\windebug and c:\gnumake\MAKE-3.77\winRel also paste both this paths in the
My Computers==>Properties==>Advanced==>Environment variables==>Path setting's
After all this check as follows from CMD mode.
1)execute make at c:\>
2)execute gnumake at c:\>
In win2000 it may return error messages or Target wrong ignore it.If it is on Win NT then it will return proper status.

Create a Applmgr user account in win2000 .
Installation:
=============
What here you require is the Patience .
Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
installed products it requires without any failure.
The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]

Configuring startWebLogic.sh for Red Hat Linux 7.2

I was successful in configuring and executing startWeblogic.cmd, but have not been
so lucky getting the equivalent to run on Red Hat 7.2 using startWebLogic.sh.
For starters, even before I began editing startWeblogic.sh and just tried running
I received the following error:
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
: command not found
startWebLogic.sh: line 59: syntax error near unexpected token `elif'
'tartWebLogic.sh: line 59: `elif [ ! -f $WL_HOME/lib/weblogic.jar ]; then
I've included both my startWebLogic.cmd and startWebLogic.sh files so that you
can see what I'm trying to port to the sh file. I'm hoping I'm close to getting
this to execute and run within Linux so please accept my thanks in advance to
anyone who might have some suggestions. Interestingly enough I was able to get
wls to start using ant, but that is obviously only good for my development env.
The point being I'm hoping I'm close to reaching a solution.
Below is what my startWebLogic.cmd file looks like:
@echo off
@rem This script can be used to start WebLogic Server. This script ensures that
@rem the server is started using the config.xml file found in this directory and
@rem that the CLASSPATH is set correctly. This script contains the following variables:
@rem
@rem JAVA_HOME - Determines the version of Java used to start
@rem WebLogic Server. This variable must point to the
@rem root directory of a JDK installation and will be set
@rem for you by the WebLogic Server installer. Note that
@rem this script uses the hotspot VM to run WebLogic Server.
@rem If you choose to use a JDK other than the one
@rem included in the disribution, make sure that the JDK
@rem includes the hotspot VM. See the WebLogic platform support
@rem page (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/platforms/index.html)
@rem for an up-to-date list of supported JVMs on Windows NT.
@rem
@rem When setting these variables below, please use short file names (8.3).
@rem To display short (MS-DOS) filenames, use "dir /x". File names with
@rem spaces will break this script.
@rem
@rem jDriver for Oracle users: This script assumes that native libraries
@rem required for jDriver for Oracle have been installed in the proper
@rem location and that your system PATH variable has been set appropriately.

Installing Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2

Hi,
I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.5 in Red Hat Linux 6.2. But when I run the runInstaller
command it gives the following error & quit.
[oracle@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre. Please wait...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Bad address
And I tried to run the Installer with jre1.1.6 & jre 1.1.7. Both producing the same
error.
You may think why I'm using the old version of Oracle. It's an urgent need for
me at the moment.
Hope someone could guide me in the correct path to install.
Thx in advance.

You need to install java.

FMS RED HAT LINUX PROBLEMS

Hi,
I hope that someone can help me. I am having so much trouble
getting FMS to work it is unbelievable.
We have installed FMS onto virtual server running Red Hat
Linux Enterprise 3. We have managed to get
FMS running but cannot get a connection to work. This is
using the sample application 'textchat'. here is a summary of what
we and a coleague have done.
1) I have linked the libraries to obtain the desired
libssl.so.4,
libssl.so.6, libcrypto.so.4 and libcrypto.so.6.
2) I have installed the lates mozilla firefox and the latest
flash
plugin (together with the update-flashplugin)
3) Then I have created the installation by adding the
following entry:
/etc/redhat-release together with it's content
4) Then I have performed a regular fms installation together
with adding
the licensing etc. I have also copied the textchat main.asc
file and the
textchat pages (swf and html)
So basically we have added all the missing libraries (that we
know of...cmon adobe get it together £3000
and you don't even include relavent libraries) .
If any body has any ideas please reply. we are almost a month
down the line struggling with this software.
Thanks for an help

I had decided to install Red Hat Linux 6.3 which does not support Oracle asmlib and oracleasm to keep up with the technology and to be innovative.
Oracle has added significant enhancements to Grid Infrastructure. The only way to become aware of these enhancements is to "Do It". I've documented this implementation and will now

Invoking oracle utilities in Oracle10g on Red Hat Linux

Hi,
I manage an oracle 10g database on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.
I have problems invoking oracle utilities like netca, dbca, dbua etc from the bin directory. Every time i type netca while in the bin directory, i get the following error:
bash: NETCA: command not found
however when i type ./netca while in the bin directory, this is what i get:
****ORACLE_HOME environment variable not set!
ORACLE_HOME should be set to the main
directory that contains Oracle products.
Set and export ORACLE_HOME, then re-run.
i then set the enviroment variable thus:
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME
Further attempts to invoke netca still gives the same errors listed above.
please help if u can.
olumide

Hi,
check the installation guide how to set the environment. $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not included in the PATH variable (therefore bash: NETCA: command not found), ORACLE_HOME (and I assume other environment variables) are not set.
Don't read instructions word-to-word ,
set ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 export ORACLE_HOME' is syntactically wrong, use
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1 .
Best regards
