URG HELP: OAS 4.0.8.1 on Linux ?

We want to move from solaris to Linux in order to cut costs on hardware (and licences) and I have a couple of questions.
There is not much about whcih versions of linux are supported etc on oracle site. Do we need the Oracle 8i enterprise Red Hat version or the regular Red Hat version will suffice ?
Which version is needed ?
Is there Oracle for Linux and/or OAS for Linux online doc on the internet ? Like installation guides, etc ?
Thanks

OAS 4.0.8.1 for Linux: wrksf goes down

After having installed the OAS 4.0.8.1 for
Linux, I have a problem getting it to work.
I use the OAS Manager to start the following
four processes :
oassrv "Oracle Application Server"
wrksf "Cartridge Server Factory"
otsfacsrv "Transaction Server Factory"
orb "ORB Servers"
The four processes come up, but after a
minute or so the 'wrksf' process goes
down.
After restarting the wrksf in
command line mode (using the owsctl utility)
the same occurs: it stays up for about a
minute or so, and then goes down.
The log files don't show any error messages.
Does anybody have a clue in which direction
I should search ?
Can any tracing be turned on ?

After I fixed some of the things I broke while searching for the wrksf failure, the PL/SQL Cartridge now works for me too. And, after failing to get the DB Browser to work by loading it into the SCOTT schema, I got it to work by loading it into SYS. (SCOTT can't see the DBA_* views so loading the DB Browser into the database failed.) I haven't tried any Java Servlets yet, but that's next on my list.
If you want to try my wrksf workaround, rather than using Christoph's, here's how you can do it.
1. Backup liborb.so in the $ORACLE_HOME/orb/4.0/lib directory, just in case something goes wrong.
2. Using a hex editor, such as emacs hexl-find-file or ghex, to edit liborb.so, find the string "/proc/stat".
3. Change the directory, "/proc" to something like "/pfoo" and write the shared library file back to liborb.so. You now have the required modified liborb.so.
4. Make the /pfoo directory and cp /proc/stat /pfoo.
5. Edit /pfoo/stat and duplicate the first line, which should be the cpu line. This will let the metrics parser handle it. Make sure that /pfoo/stat has read access.
Of course, the values that the metrics code gets are now bogus, but that does not seem to be a fatal problem.
Hopefully somebody from Oracle is reading this and the real fix will be in the mail soon.

HELP : OAS 4.0 & Oracle Express on NT

Hi,
I am trying to run the example Samples application in Oracle Express Web Agent User's guide on IE 5.0 web browser. I have installed Oracle Express 6.3 along with its Web agent component. After starting Oracle Express service & installing OAS 4.0 & starting all its services & HTTP listeners from its Administrator's applet, I try to open the first page of the Samples application(it has the title: Oracle Express Web Agent {Samples}) which is opened successfully but when I click on any of the two links on that page I get a page not found error. The OAS administration applet shows that all the services are running except the Web agent & Web agent RPC services which are shown as not running(red flags). How do you start the Web agent services ? Is configuration & set up for web agent easier on Solaris ?
Also I don't have access to "Oracle Express Web Products installation guide" as its link(http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/exp_server/doc_index.htm) is broken. I don't know whether having this guide would make any difference. I am desperately trying to make the Web interface work without any success so far. Please let me know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Aejaz

Check the following things:
1. Express Server 6.3 is up and running.
2. OAS 4.0 is installed in its own home directory.
3. You have un-commented the correct html line in .../sample/index.html file. CGI or cartridge???
4. You have moved oowa.cfg and oowa.exe in the OAS executable directory, and edited oowa.cfg with correct configuration.
Express Web Products installation guide explains all the steps for NT in detail.

URG help on mobile port communication!!!!!

I for my college project hav built a j2me application to send data though the mobile phones port into a switching circuit to control hardware. I am using a motorola phone SLVR L6. The problem is it has a mini usb port n the switching circuit i hav built is for serial communication. How do i join these 2! a usb to serial cable dosnt work.
If i replace the L6 with motorola E398 which has a serial port will it work!!!
I hav used midp2.0 and the CommConnection to communicate to the port!
Please reply urgently, any one with any knowledge in thes regard please contact me at [email protected] or on yahoo messenger ID indohuman!

I would recommend that you go on ni.com and search for 'serial'. Also, have a look at the Example Finder in LabVIEW; Help -> Find Examples. There is an entire directory that should help you understand how to design serial applications.

URG HELP PLEASE: Any doc on PARAM settings for WebForms ?

Hi,
I'm trying to find any documentation on the available PARAM
values. For example, the Internet explorer syntax is:
PARAM NAME="ServerPort" VALUE="9000"
For Netscape, one only specifies (for example: ServerPort=9000)
I've seen a LOT of different PARAM values in the threads here
(Example, SeparateFrame, LookAndFell, ColorsScheme, etc...) and
I am wondering WHERE ALL THOSE PARAMETERS are discussed in the
documentation and what are the possible VALUES for those
parameters...
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Please reply by e-mail as well if you have the time

Hi,
All parameters are discussed in the Oracle Developer Server
online help. Here they are:
codebase
cartridge or non-cartridge
required
Replace /forms_code/ with the virtual directory you defined to
point to the physical directory ORACLE_HOME\forms60\java\.
Note: If you created a codebase cartridge parameter, you do not
have to include codebase in your base HTML file.
code
cartridge or non-cartridge
required
Do not remove or modify the code parameter unless you defined it
as a cartridge parameter. Its value should always be:
oracle.forms.engine.Main
serverPort
cartridge or non-cartridge
required
Replace 9000 with the number of the port on which the Forms
Server Listener process was started. In most cases, the port
number will remain 9000 (the default).
serverArgs
cartridge or non-cartridge
required
Replace forms_param with any valid Form Builder command-line
parameter. Replace user_param with any valid user-defined
parameter. For example, <param name="serverArgs"
VALUE="module=order.fmx">
Notes:
You can provide multiple Form Builder command-line and
user-defined parameters.
You must provide a physical directory path for the .FMX file by
including a directory path in the HTML file or by defining the
FORMS60_PATH environment variable. The .FMX suffix is optional.
serverHost
cartridge or non-cartridge
required
Required only if the Forms Server is not on the same machine as
the Web server.
archive
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Replace or add to /jars_vdir/f60web.jar to provide the virtual
directory path and filename of any JAR file you want to be
downloaded to end users' Web browsers at application startup.
splashScreen
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Specifies the .GIF file that should appear before the applet
appears.
serverApp
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Replace default with the name of your application class (if
any). Use application classes for creating application-specific
font mapping and icon path settings.
leastloadedhost
cartridge only
optional
During load balancing , this fixed-name place holder is replaced
dynamically by the cartridge with the name of the least-loaded
system. The cartridge gets this information from the Metrics
Server at runtime.
metricsDomainName
cartridge only
optional
Specifies the domain of your Metrics Client server machine. This
is a load balancing parameter that must be used with the
leastloadedhost parameter. In your HTML file the
metricsDomainName parameter must immediately follow the
leastloadedhost parameter. For example,
ARCHIVE="%leastloadedhost%%metricsDomainName%/f60webjar"
clientDPI
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Specifies the dots per inch (DPI) and overrides the DPI setting
returned by the JVM, allowing you to manage varying DPI settings
per platform. For example, a form developed on the Win32 platform
may not display properly on the UNIX platform due to varying DPI
values.
The clientDPI value can be any positive integer. Oracle
recommends that you use an integer between 50 and 200.
<param name="clientDPI" value="200">
separteFrame
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Determines whether the applet appears within the browser or the
Appletviewer. Legal values: True or False.
lookAndFeel
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Determines the applications look-and-feel. Legal values: Oracle
or Generic (Windows 95 look-and-feel).
colorScheme
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Determines the application's color scheme. Legal values: Teal,
Brick, Indigo, Mustard, Pine, Plum, or Titanic.
Note: colorScheme is ignored if lookAndFeel is set to Generic.
helpBookName
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Specifies the name of a help book.
helpBookPath
cartridge or non-cartridge
optional
Specifies the help book URL, absolute or relative to the
documents location.
Hope this helps.

We had the same problem with the PL/SQL cartridge (OWS-04764 ...). We solved our problem with a new kernel. Its important that you have a kernel with symmetric multi-processing support (SMP) enabled, independent if you have a one or two processor machine.
I hope it will help you.

OAS 4.0.7 on SUSE Linux 6.1 gets very slow or hangs

Hallo out there,
we installed OAS 407 on a SUSE Linux 6.1 system with ORACLE
Server 8.0.5.0.0. After long time solving installation problems,
we are now able to start OAS via the OAS-Manager html page.
And we are able to launch a simple PL/SQL-application, which
produces the output of a system table. Now, the thing is, that we
can start this application once or twice or maybe a few times
more but then the system hangs or gets very slow, so that only a
hard reboot of the server machine works.
We configured the NR_TASKS parameter in tasks.h to get ulimit to
512 for the user processes. System seemed to work better then,
but maybe only a little bit better.
We have also got problems with domain-names and node-names, which
sometimes are just machinename, then machinename.domainname, then
again machinename.badister.(none) .
If there is anyone out there who has got the same problems or
solved them, please tell me.

I have wasted a lot of time trying to get OAS 4.0.7 to run with
a 2.2 kernel... it doesn't work, even after you've fixed all the
problems like to ps command for example, the listeners hang. I
now have it working on a 2.0 kernel, which is reasonably stable,
although I have to do a reboot every few days!

Need help with running a Java program on Linux

I am trying to get a Java program to run on a Linux machine. The program is actually meant for a Mac computer. I want to see if someone with Java experience can help me determine what is causing the program to stall. I was successful in getting it installed on my Linux machine and to partially run.
The program is an interface to a database. I get the login screen to appear, but then once I enter my information and hit enter the rest of the program never shows, however, it does appear to connect in the background.
Here is the error when I launch the .jar file from the command screen:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal component position
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Container.add(Unknown Source)
I am not a programmer and I am hoping this will make some sense to someone. Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated!

Well, without knowing a little bit about programming, and how to run your debugger, I don't think you're going to fix it. The IllegalArgumentException is saying that some call does not like what it's getting. So you'll have to go in an refactor at least that part of the code.

But I am currently stuck with initial database creation

Is dificult to help you whitout the details of your particular installation. But this procedure work perfectly for an installation "out of the box" of Linux Mandrake 8.1
a) Install Linux Mandrake and choose to install the Development Tools Set. After installation, deinstall rpm kaffe (java runtime).
b) Do the preinstallation task for Oracle 8.1.7 as explained in the Installation Manual. Is not necesary to recompile the kernel.
c) login with the oracle user for installation. Use Gnome for as your desktop (KDE doesn't work).
d) run the Oracle Universal Installer.
e) When the installation stop for link problems apply the patch glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz (http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle8i/glibc-2.1.3-stubs.tar.gz)
f) After the patch application, press "Retry" button in the error dialog of (e) step.
g) Everything must work fine.
h) After veryfing your installation make your customizations.

Help install Tuxedo 8.0 on RedHat Linux 7.2

Greetings,
I'm trying to install Tuxedo 8.0 on a RedHat Linux 7.2,
using the tuxedo80_linux.bin (from www.bea.com site) ,
and face the following problems :
. I dont' know what are the dependencies needed (I saw
JRE and installed it, but it don't seem to be the only thing
to do...)
. I don't know if this package will work on RedHat 7.x
(libc changed since 6.2, which is the 'reference' release for
Tuxedo 8...)
any links, tips, report of working on it ?
Is an RPM package exist (made by BEA or not) ?

alex wrote:

and the installing stop.
Who can help me?:(Alex,
I believe that happens because Tux 8.0 was done for RH 6.2 which uses a
different version of glibc. If you're running RH 7.2 you need to install
the compat62 packages. The RPMs should be on the install CDs or available
from the RH site.
Once installed you need to set the appropriate environment variables as
shown below:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export LDEMULATION=elf_i386_glibc21 # This is so that when genclntsh runs
# ld, it first looks at
usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib
# for libraries
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/gcc-lib/
# This is so that the gcc driver uses
# the compatibility compiler
After this the installer should work just fine. The problem, i think, was
that the JVM that came in the installation archive was compiled with the
old libgc and would barf unless you're running in compatibility mode.
You'll need to set these environment vars. when running Tux as well.
Hope this helps.

Mitch

Hi,
on our linux-box OAS 4.0.8.1 is running under Kernel 2.2.13 (SMP, SuSe 6.3) without big problems.
Today we have tried to run OAS under Kernel 2.2.18 (the latest stable from the 2.2.x series) but the OAS reports an error while starting a listener (something with ORB error).
Is anybody running OAS under 2.2.18?

Answer in Metalink:
am looking at the Quick Installation Guide for iAS 10.1.2.0.2, page 12 the Note: "Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) is certified to run as a 32 bit application on the following Linux x86-64 platforms:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 3.0, Update 3 or higher (AMD64 and Intel EM64T)
* SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (AMD64 and Intel EM64T)
If Opteron is AMD64, then the answer to your question is yes.
