Sun Solaris 9 failed to follow DST

I had two patched Sun boxes that failed to switch this morning. This was weird since all the others worked right.
Turned out that the TZ entry in /etc/TIMEZONE has
TZ= EST5EDT
Instead of
TZ=US/Eastern
All the ones that worked had the former.
I changed the two and rebooted them and they now work okay.
Just in case someone else is scrambling trying to figure out what is wrong...
I found this doc which gave me a clue as to what might be wrong:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102836-1

# zdump -v US/Eastern | grep 2007
Box that originally failed until change to TZ in /etc/TIMEZONE file:
US/Eastern Mon Mar 12 17:43:45 2007 UTC = Mon Mar 12 13:43:45 2007 EDT isdst=1
US/Eastern Sun Mar 11 06:59:59 2007 UTC = Sun Mar 11 01:59:59 2007 EST isdst=0

US/Eastern Sun Nov 4 06:00:00 2007 UTC = Sun Nov 4 01:00:00 2007 EST isdst=0
Box that didnt fail:

  • Siebel 8 installation on Sun Solaris 10 - Siebel server failed

    Hi Expert,
    I am currently installing Siebel 8.0.0.0 on Sun Solaris 10.
    I had successfully configured a New Gateway Name Server, a New Enterpise in a Gateway Name Server and a New Siebel Web Server Extension Logical Profile.
    Then, I tried to configure a Siebel Server, however the result of that is Execution Failed and popup the following error message:
    Setup.product.install, Utility, err, unable to launch: "ksh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/siebel/siebelv8/siebsrvr/lib;PATH=${PATH}:.;/var/tmp/isjAAAC8aGVc/bin/java -Dtemp.dir=/var/tmp -cp /siebel/siebelv8/siebsrvr/bin/setup.jar run -args LANG=ENU REPEAT=FALSE MODE=LIVE MODEL_FILE=/siebel/siebelv8/siebsrvr/admin/siebel_server_sia.scm" error code: "255"(SBL-STJ-00152)
    I have tried to uninstall Siebel and re-install Siebel couple of times. I got the above same error all the time.
    Searching on supportWeb, I don't find much information regarding "error code: "255"(SBL-STJ-00152)"
    Does anyone know what does "error code: "255"" mean?
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve it?
    Appreciate all your help.
    Thanks in advance!!

    No....I don't find any port conflict.
    However, in the log.txt I saw the following error at the beginning of the log:

    Not sure if that is a problem but the installation went fine.
    Just when I tried to configure Siebel Server, I got the execution failed with the error that I mentioned in my first posting.

  • Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

    Hey,
    Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
    Simon

    I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

    Please help me with this problem.
    Thank you

    It is because of UNIX shell. I also faced this error during installation.
    First check your shell by the following command.
    $ echo $SHELL
    Then select the below.
    For csh shell
    $ setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0
    $ export DISPLAY
    For sh,ksh and bash
    $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0
    $ export DISPLAY
    After you do this check the value of DISPLAY variable.
    $ echo $DISPLAY
    If the DISPLAY variable is set then run ./runInstaller.
    One advice: Keep a complete log of your terminal session. This will help you in future :)

    Hi Vinu,
    I'm not sure if this is still an issue for you. When I have encountered issues like this with Pro*C I have ended up specifying parse=none to the proc command and then putting all declarations between "EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION" and "EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION" markers. I have also moved any "special" declarations into a specific header file and then placed the "#include <special header file>" inside the declare section as well.
    Perhaps that will help a bit,
    Regards,
    Mark

  • Unable to connect Informatica on Sun Solaris to a SQL Server datasource

    Background*
    We have a fully operational OBIEE with OBIA Apps infrastructure running with Informatica PC8.6 ETL suite. Informatica services are running on a Sun Solaris 64 bit platform.
    We currently extract data from two Oracle EBS 11.5.10 sources. Now we are trying to extract data from a new MS SQL Server 2000 source into the OBAW.
    Problem*
    I'm trying the use the native ODBC 5.2 Data Direct driver to connect the the data source.
    I've gone through and completed the 9 steps of the 'Connecting to an ODBC Data Source' chapter in Informatica on our Solaris Unix box.
    I've made the following changes to the *.profile*
    # ODBC HOME
    ODBC_HOME=/oracle/Informatica/PowerCenter8.6.0/ODBC5.2
    export ODBC_HOME
    ODBC_INI=/oracle/Informatica/PowerCenter8.6.0/ODBC5.2/odbc.ini
    export ODBC_INI
    PATH=${PATH}:$ODBC_HOME/bin
    export PATH
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:$ODBCHOME/lib
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    I've also made changes to the odbc.ini file as suggested:
    [MSS_DB]
    Driver=/oracle/Informatica/PowerCenter8.6.0/ODBC5.2/lib/DWmsss22.so

    Password=mypwd
    QuotedId=No
    ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
    InstallDir=/oracle/Informatica/PowerCenter8.6.0/ODBC5.2
    I've created the Connection--> Relational --> ODBC connection on Workflow Manager
    I've specified the username/pwd and connect string MssServer.xxx.co.uk@MIS_Report_DB. I've called it exactly the same as MSS_DB specified in the odbc.ini
    When I run the workflow. It fails but doesn't throw up any error/error code in the session log. The last 3 lines of the Session Log below and then it just bombs out within 5 secs.
    PETL_24006 : Starting data movement.
    TM_6660 : Total Buffer Pool size is 4234808 bytes and Block size is 468312 bytes.
    DBG_21438 : Reader: Source is [MssServer.xxx.co.uk], user [myuser]
    If you ping from the Unix server it says 'MssServer.xxx.co.uk is alive'
    Can anyone suggest what we need to do different or spot something obvious?

    - do you install as root now?
    - or make the directories writable for oracle, too.The write flag is missing (something like chmod -R a+w OraInstall2009-05-27_02-38-48PM)

    I've seen this when you have mirrored boot disks, but the root volume is only attached on one side, and you boot from the other side.
    Can you boot from the other disk?
    If not, you'll probably have to follow recovery procedures for booting with the root filesystem removed from VxVM.

    Kalpesh Mehta

    I had similar problems several months ago. I suspect this happens when host pc does not have floppy drive(or bios somehow misreports it) as it was in my case. Solaris 8 seems to work fine in the same environment, so I keep using it for now. Possible workaround might be to use DCA from Solaris 8: Installation of Sol9 started just fine after I entered Sol8 DCA and asked it to boot from Sol9 CD.
    Hope this problem will be fixed in subsequent Sol9 releases.

    I want to upgrade/convert 32 bit Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 to 64 bit database. Existing 32 bit database is RAC and it is running on Sun Solaris X86 64 bit OS.
    First, I want to know is it possible?
    If yes, then what are the exact steps?

    Hi,
    Such a migration can be done, just follow the steps in Metalink note 62290.1
    It is important to remember that 64-bit database requires more shared pool memory so you should increase your shared pool size.

  • Moving Oracle 9i database from AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server

    I want to move my oracle 9i database residing on AIX server to Sun Solaris 9 server.
    The database residing on AIX server has the following features :-
    1. It is a production database.
    2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.
    3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.
    4. It has one schema,around 700 tables & 129 views.....etc
    5. Huge downtime is affordable.
    What is the safest way to do so ??

    Hi Yachendra,
    1. It is a production database.
    2. Running in NOARCHIVE LOG Mode.By the way do you have any idea that PRODUCTION databases are always kept in ARCHIVE LOG Mode. It's is highly advice able.
    3. It was Live for few weeks, hence transactions are stored on it.If you are really serious about your data and don't want to lose anything and wants to perform CROSS PLATFORM you must make sure that you have all your achive logs.
