BI 4.1 installation in Red hat Linux 6.5

Hi Experts,
we are planning to have one cluster environment in Red hat Linux 6.5.
1) Two nodes in cluster ( two red hat Linux 6.5 servers)
2) 1 server with Websphere as a web application server.
From the last two years i am completely working on windows environment. hence i would like to know few details about installing BI 4.1 in RHL 6.5.
What are the prerequisites to install Bi 4.1 in RHL 6.5, Even though it mentioned in installation guides, i would request someone to share there real time expertise.
I would like to have split deployment in the webapplication server ( Websphere ).I have performed the split deployement with ref of the below document which was created by James Rapp Improving the User Experience in SAP BI Platform - BI 4.1 and Apache 2.4 Supplement
it completely talks about tomcat+ Apache.
is it possible to perform the websphere + Apache split deployment.
Kindly share your expertise.

Hi Prasad,
Below are my thoughts on your queries.
1. Check Installing SAP BI 4.1 SP01 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x Step-by-step. This is an amazing blog by Brian. Hope you find it useful.
2. You cannot do a split deployment with Apache and Websphere. However you can do it with IHS (Web server provided by IBM) plus websphere. If you are using Websphere Network deployment version, IHS must be installed by default. For performing the split deployment, check https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000171102014E/sbo41sp3_bip_wapd_unix_en.pdf See section 4.4.2 on page 27
Hope it helps.

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.

Red Hat Linux Upgrade - 2.4 to 4

Hello all,
In our environment SAP is running with 4.7E with oracle database and we are planning to do a hardware migration and Red Hat linux upgrade from 2.4 to 4
So the plan is such a way like that
1. Taking backup from the live production system.
2. Installing 4 red hat linux in the target machine and installing SAP as well.
3. Restore the database and bringing up the system.
We are not following the method of Export / Import due to consideration of downtime.
I have been working in windows platform and have performed migrations and database migration but I am not aware of linux environment. What are the preparation do i need to do interms of linux upgrade / Migration.
Kindly help me out
Regards
Vijay

> 1. Taking backup from the live production system.

Yes - that's the way to go.
Simply follow the system copy guides.

Jinitiator for Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition 3

Hello Technocrats,
I need your reply for our very critical situation asap.
We have Red Hat Linux EE 3 hosted in all developers PC. Oracle Application 11.5.5 is hosted in a Sun Ultra1 server. Now we have licence for Oracle Developer Suite 10g for RH Linux 3.
My question is , will Oracle Jinitiator for the OS compatible be installed at time of iDS installation??
do we need to grab any specific Oracle Jinitiator for E-Business Suite in this regard??
Is Oracle Jinitiator avbl for Linux platforms. If not wat will be the solution for executing a E-Business module form in a Mozilla web browser in Linux Pc's
Kindly give all your valuable suggestions asap....... awaitng your reply

See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10g/clientsod_forms10g.html for information on officially supported configs.
The only certification I can see for Redhat is using Sun JPI 1.4.2. The Sun JPI certification was added with the latest patchset (9.0.4.2.0). I know Oracle was planning on certifying Forms 10.1.2 for Sun JPI 1.4.2 and 1.5, but I'm not sure if they managed in the end. Forms 10.1.2 is already available.
We decided to go for Sun JPI and not JInitiator because we have hundreds of external users. Their sysadmins are much more comfortable installing Sun JPI then they are installing the (unknown) Oracle JInitiator.
I've written a number of blog articles about our Sun JPI confguration at http://www.oratransplant.nl/category/oracle/forms/

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.

Memory Problem with Oracle10g R2 and red Hat linux 2.4.21-37.EL

Hi All.
i've a 64Bit red Hat Linux 2.4.21-37.EL , 5GB Ram , 3GB Swap Space.
Oracle10g R2. i've 2 prodection database each is having 1400MB of SGA.
when i check the free meory it shows only 12mb of ram is free..why..?
and in swap space it's only 200mb is used...why..?
when i check the dbwither is taking 1.2GB of RAM why..?
can anybody help me in this ...how to get free memory or configure os level to get more free memory.
Sarit

Linux uses Swap space to run applications. The RAM available may not be enough to run the applications so OS swaps the program between RAM and the swap space to run applications.
You can see your swap partition being used as the swap space with:
cat /proc/swaps

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.
Luxman

You need to install java.

RedHat versions. Not an exact answer to your problem but it
might help.
Good Luck.

Problem installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0

Hi,
Due to a software requirement, I have to install Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. (I know Oracle 8.0.5 is pretty old and so as RH Linux 7.0 but that is what required).
I downloaded the Oracle8051EE_Intel.tgz from Oracle and tried to installed it but it didn't work.
It crashed out when it tried to run some of the SQL script during the installation using SVRMGRL. Later on, we found out all the binaries under $ORACLE_HOME/bin were corrupted during the installation. We did a comparison of the size of SVRMGRL and SQLPLUS and they are different from the Stage (or the one from the .tgz).
Does anyone have this problem before? Will 8.0.5 works on Linux 7.0?
Thanks in advanced for any help.
Best regards,
William

I'm having the same exact problem. The link you have provided
seems to be a bad link. I would really appreciate it alot if you
could help get us through this first step of starting the oracle
installer interface. I never thought it would be this hard to
get started.

Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat Linux on a Dell Poweredge

We have a Dell PowerEdge 6400 server with PERC 2/DC raid
controllers.
We have installed Red Hat Linux 6.2.
According to the installation guide in order to install Oracle
8.1.7 we need to recompile the Kernal to get to version 2.2.19-
6.2.7.
Recompiling the Kernal causes a failure in the Raid controllers.
I realise that this isn't strictly Oracle but I wondered if
anyone had met this problem before. It appears virtually
impossible to configure this combination to support Oracle.

Yes there is a lot of information out there. Oracle 8.1.6,
8.1.7, 9 on Linux 6, 7, 9.
Which glibc? binutils? compat-libs?
For 8.1.7 on Redhat 9
Please try: http://www3.sympatico.ca/arothmel/oracle/817.html
Still evolving. Feedback welcome :)
