Production Release Install Issues on Linux

I just upgraded from the beta to the production relase on Linux (Suse 10.0).
The following issues were easy enough to bypass, but should be fixed in the next release nevertheless, to allow a Linux installation as smooth as under Windows:
* calculation of required swap space: when I installed the beta in November I had 512MB RAM and 1GB swap - no problem at all. Meanwhile I upgraded to 1GB RAM, 1GB swap. The production release complained during install. Why would I need more swap to install Oracle after upgrading RAM? Should the script not instead check total memory (RAM+swap) and be happy?
* second, related issue: the installer complained that I had only 850MB swap space, it supposedly required 1GB. Fact: I have 1GB swap space, but about 150MB were used at that time. Instead of checking the total swap space, the installer checked the free swap space. Solution was easy enough: swapoff -a ; swapon -a. All swap space free, installer runs...
* during configuration (/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure) I selected not to automatically start Oracle at boot time. This set the ORACLE_DBENABLED variable (in /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe) to false. Unfortunately this variable is used in /etc/init.d/oracle-xe to check before 'start' and 'stop'. As a result it was not possible to manually start and stop the database. Solution: either don't check the variable before start and stop or - as I did: set ORACLE_DBENABLED to true and prevent start at boot time by editing the runlevels (as should be).
Other than that: great product and great timing! Keep up the good work! Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Peter

As an addendum to the above, I noticed that sqlplus failed wouldn't run - it was failing with messages such as:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
and:
ERROR:
ORA-27140: attach to post/wait facility failed
Through scanning countless posts on this forum the solution turned out to be:
chmod u+s `which oracle`
chmod g+s `which oracle`
Speaking as someone who is in Oracle's target audience for this product (small company, currently using open source DBs), I have to say that my experience of installing Oracle was pretty painful and was far more hassle than PostgreSQL, MySQL or even (heaven forbid) SQLServer. Come on Oracle, you can do better than this!

  • Adobe CS6 Production Premium Install Issues

    I recently built a new PC and transferred my Adobe CS6 Production Premium and Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium software to the new pc without issue.  I had an issue after installing different software and had to go back to a previous restore point in windows.  After doing this, it appears as though there are several adobe files still on the pc.  The issue is that when try to reinstall, I get an error from adobe installer which says the installer failed to initialize, and for me to download the adobe support advisor to detect the problem.  When I try to downlad this, it says the support advisor has been discontinued.  How can I get these installed?  I cannot even get to the initial install asking for my keys.  I am running windows 8.1 as an OS.
    Thanks!

    I was able to find a previous version of adobe support advisor and ran it, this is what I get.  The path it points me to in the registry does not exist.  hmmm

  • OAS Install Issues SUSE LINUX  [ulimit]

    Like many others I am having issues installing OAS onto my SUSE EE Linux Server. The problem is that I cannot modify the ulimit for the oracle user (the user to install the OAS under). I have followed the directions found on the oracle site for installing 10g. I have also done a lot of searching regarding this issue and none seem to work. I have redone the process using orarun with these directions (http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/php/installtxt/10gr2_sles9.txt) And I have followed directions found (http://www.novell.com/support/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=10096341&sliceId=&dialogID=6335233&stateId=0%200%206333704) regarding setting /etc/security/limits.conf, /etc/pam.d/login, and /etc/pam.d/xdm . Any help on this issue would be excellent!
    The issue is that ulimit -n for oracle returns 1024 no matter what I do. And ulimit -n 6653 returns an error.

    Ok its working now. Basically I didn't set "session required /etc/pam.d/pam_limits.so" in /etc/pam.d/xdm till late last night and I forgot to reboot the server. This morning when I was running ulimit -n 65536 to get the error msg it worked. So thanks for the quick response, but my problem is now solved.

  • Productivity Pak installing issue

    Hi All,
    I have to install and configure SAP Productivity Pak by RWD for Solman 7.1.
    OS - AIX 7.1
    For this I am following SAP Note 127474,
    I have installed the add on ST-SPA on solman.
    I am not sure about step 3 of this note
    3. Preparing for the installation
    o Install or upgrade to RWD uPerform Server if not yet done
    o Install or upgrade to RWD uPerform Client if not yet done
    Is this to be done by Basis person ?
    If yes then,
    RWD uPerform Server is to be installed separately or on same host where Solman is installed (on AIX Box).
    I have downloaded the 51041481 which includes
    ANCILE_uPerform_Server_4.40.0.26.zip
    ANCILE_uPerform_Client_4.40.0.21.zip
    Can any one let me know what should be the next step ?
    Regards

    Hi VP,
    The documentation should be in both these zip files.

  • Succes installing 9iAS R2 (release 2) on RedHat Linux 7.3

    I had success installing 9iAS release 2 on RedHat Linux 7.3. I used the instructions on http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml.
    At first, I tried this on RedHat 8.0. Funny thing is: installation of infrastructure failed even though I followed the instructions. Then I downloaded 7.3, followed EXACTLY the same instructions and voila, works like a charm.
    Puschitz' instructions are for 9i and not for 9iAS though. Some additions:
    1) One of the pre-installation steps there says to set some environment variables, one of them being the SID. It's set to 'test', but of course with standard settings the sid of the database that comes along with 9iAS has a SID of 'iasdb'.
    2) Also what I did, was to downgrade the binutils package to the version provided by Oracle here: http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/files/binutils_readme.html. As an alternative, Puschitz says to change some makefiles. I didn't try this.
    3) I then installed the infrastructure. When finished, I exited the installation and rebooted. After the reboot:
    4) I changed to the /bin directory and typed (as root):
    ln -s /sbin/fuser
    5) Changed back to user 'oracle' and started the infrastructure with:
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus
    connect / as sysdba
    startup
    exit
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidmon connect=iasdb start
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oidctl connect=iasdb server=oidldapd instance=1 start
    $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
    6) Then started the installer and did the middletier installation. Rebooted.

    Following your instructions i've also succesfull installation of ias9iR2 Infrastructure on Redhat7.3. Checked the database Iasdb and Enterprise Manager Website (on http://liminwang:1810), everything works fine. Hence i try to install Portal & Wireless on the same machine on a different Oracle_home (but on the same Oracle_base) according to the installation guide. The installation stuck when i've chosen the Portal and Wireless option. I get a warning that the Enterprise Manager Website Process is still running and it must be stopped to proceed the stallation. So i stopped this process by: $oracle_home/bin/emctl stop
    Still i get the same warning. Stopping the database also doesn't help. Even when i deinstalled the Enterprise Manager Website component i get the same warning.
    Please help!

    Can you give more details what you are trying to do or trying to accomplish. Where are you trying to ping to?
    It could be that you have not defined your gateway or DNS server for name to IP mapping. What is the output of

    Can you provide more information, like what is your desktop system?
    Besides, Enterprise Linux is not designed to work on Desktop or other portable computers. Your Ethernet may not be the only issue.
    You may check the following link:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=247399
    " I am seeing this behaviour as well on installing Fedora 9 Beta on an older Dell Latitude C840 laptop. I was able to get this error in a subsequent install by skipping the network
    configuration."
    "This really seems like something that could be caused by errors reading the CD media. Could someone who is seeing this take a look at tty4 or /tmp/syslog and see if there are kernel read error messages?"

    Hi, Jasdeep!
    We have the same problem with OIM 11.1.2 on Solaris SPARC 10 - just after extend WLS domain to OIM & SOA servers AdminServer fails to start with message "syntax error at line 30: `JVM_TYPE=$' unexpected"
    It seems like uncompatibility of file $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setOIMDomainEnv.sh and Solaris systems... :-(
    I changed *$DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setOIMDomainEnv.sh* : instead of

    JVM_TYPE=$(java -version 2>&1 >/dev/null)
    *echo "JVM Type is ${JVM_TYPE}"*
    *echo "$JVM_TYPE" | grep -q 'JRockit'*
    wrote

    *#echo "$JVM_TYPE" | grep -q 'JRockit'*
    *echo "$JVM_TYPE" | grep 'JRockit'*

    Try to make similar changes (according your JVM, of course)

  • How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

    How to install d2k release 6i on redhat linux version 7.3?

    have you tried using open motif 2.1.30?
    the open motif version that comes with the redhat 7.3 is 2.2 and is not compatible with 6i. Once I used open motif 2.1.30 it worked fine. The environment variable setting is very similar to any other unix version. Ensure that you are also intalling the latest patch (10) for 6i (fixed lots of problems).

    I uninstalled the beta and installed the production release.  After letting it convert my projects, I noticed that the version numbers for the .NET assemblies appear to be 13.0.2000.0 and in the beta version they were 14.0.2000.0.
    Can someone from SAP confirm the version numbers for the production release?

    Hello,
    You are correct. The final build is version 13. Long story due to download sizes and integration. I've updated 4 Images now both 32 and 64 bit and had no problems. Other major change is there is no connectivity to BOE Enterprise and no plans to add it.

    Hi,
    Fist verify your internet connection (ping any website)
    If you have dhcp server (verify the GATEWAY Address and DNS Address)
    If static configuration
    FIX IP Address in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0   
    FIX GATEWAY Address in the file /etc/sysconfig/network
    FIX DNS Address in the file /etc/resolv.conf
         => Now verify your connection
         2. Second verify your YUM repository configuration. (it's like Dude sed)
    It seems you your YUM repository configuration is not setup properly. I suggest to check the content of /etc/yum.repos.d/. Since your hostname "oeltux.idc.oracle.com" suggest you are working at Oracle, you might rather want to get in touch with internal support. Otherwise instructions provided at http://public-yum.oracle.com/ should work too.
    and your system use the uek6.
    [root@oeltux ~]# uname -a
    Linux oeltux.idc.oracle.com 2.6.39-300.28.1.el6uek.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 5 22:51:31 PST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Verify that /etc/yum.repo.d/public-yum-ol6.repo looks like:
    [ol6_UEK_latest]
    name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch)

    SharePoint Designer 2013
    Microsoft PowerBI Designer Preview
    and this is installed on Win 8.1 Enterprise
    Kind of stumped what is causing this... I see KB2920798  mentions this error message is now added when cant open a document due to a mix of click-to-run and MSI install for office.  I only have click to run for Office 2013 and the MSIs are only for
    addons in excel (power query) and the additional Microsoft Software...
    Anyone have ideas what is causing this and how to resolve?
    I just finished applying March 2015 C2R updated on Office and the same issue recurred.  This time I simply rebooted and it resolved.  My best guess is it has something to do with a locked file that can't be updated but the Office Update installer
    doesn't prompt to reboot.

    I have the same problem. But I have Czech versions of the Word and OneDrive for Business ("OneDrive pro firmy").
    I do not have the SharePoint Designer nor update KB2020798. I received KB2920746
