Verify and re-install jvm if necessary

I'm attempting to install jvm in my 10.2.0.2 database on an aix 5.2 server. I ran the dbca and told it to install jvm and intermedia, but it just hung at 11%. So I cancelled it after about 45 minutes.
I found reference of the following selects to verify jvm has been installed:
sys@DMRDEV> select version, status, comp_id from dba_registry;
VERSION STATUS COMP_ID
10.2.0.2.0 VALID XDB
10.2.0.2.0 INVALID ORDIM
10.2.0.2.0 VALID EM
10.2.0.2.0 VALID CATALOG
10.2.0.2.0 VALID CATPROC
10.2.0.2.0 VALID JAVAVM
6 rows selected.
sys@DMRDEV> select dbms_java.longname('foo') from dual;
DBMS_JAVA.LONGNAME('FOO')
foo
sys@DMRDEV> select count(*) from dba_objects
2 WHERE object_type LIKE 'JAVA%';
COUNT(*)
15568
sys@DMRDEV> select owner, count(*)
2 from dba_objects
3 where object_type like 'JAVA%'
4 group by owner;
OWNER COUNT(*)
SYS 14114
ORDSYS 1454
sys@DMRDEV> SELECT dbms_java.longname(name)
2 FROM obj$
3 WHERE type# = 29 and status != 1;
DBMS_JAVA.LONGNAME(NAME)
oracle/ord/media/annotator/utils/MADataInputStream
oracle/ord/media/annotator/utils/Preferences
312 rows returned.
The fact that I cancelled the install and the 312 records returned by the last select make me think it didn't install correctly. I have searched for about 30 minutes now trying to figure out how to un-install or repair the jvm install, but can't find anything. Anyone have a link to some documentation on this? I think my initial problem might have been my JAVA_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PATH variables not pointing to an up to date java directory.

disregard. i just restored and recovered from the backup that I took before messing it up.
for further reference if anyone else has the same problem I had to manually reload jvm and then install Oracle Text manually. The problem came up because this was a 9.2 database that didn't have either component installed when it was upgraded to 10g. I used metalink note 276554.1 for the jvm portion and 280713.1 for the Oracle Text part. For the jvm portion I only ran the part that installs jvm.

  • I have BOTH Tiger and Leopard installed in my new iMac now .... and ...

    Yesterday I decided to take the risk - I formated my iMac's HD, made three partitions - one for Tiger, one for Leopard and another for the CS3 usage. I installed Tiger without the 1.1 upgrade but installed ALL upgrades including 1.1 and 1.3 in Leopard.
    All day today I tried different apps under Leopard including iTunes, iPhoto, Photoshop and illustrator CS3. So far so good ... haven't got any serious problem, such as sys freeze or crush, yet.
    It was actually a wonderful delight to know that I could easily access all my files from each OS without reboot.
    I love Leopard but was a bit disappointed to find out it's not as fast and stable as Tiger. I see the rainbow ball spinning quite often in Leopard (rarely see it in tiger.) The internet connection drop very often while working perfectly in Tiger. The most annoying thing is: my 5 month old Canon printer does not work under Leopard. Whenever I need to print anything I have to reboot and login to Tiger.
    Another very strange problem which occurred in Leopard really puzzled me.
    I was going to install the diver for my printer in Leopard this morning. Before I did it, I went to Disc Utility to verify and repair permissions. I read a article somewhere here that says one should do this verify and repair permission task every time BEFORE and AFTER install or upgrade anything. Although I never actually understand the concept of repairing permissions and why it's necessary to do it all the time ( can anyone kind enough to make it a bit easier to understand? ... IF the system can check and repair the error itself, why can't it do it automatically without us order the task EVRY TIME we install or upgrade anything?) , I followed the advice anyway.
    The whole process of 'verify and repair permission' took about 20 minutes. During the process it concerned me why it took so long since my Leopard is 'fresh' - newly installed in a formated partition without any 3rd party app installed. When the result came out I found myself saying ' OH MY G**!!!' ....
    Have a look:
    *There were more than 100 repaired items!!! why?* (What you see above is only part of it)
    I don't understand what ACL is and why this has happened ... Can anyone kind enough to help me understand it?)
    Thanks a lot!!

  • Auto Install JVM & client installer

    Hello Stars,
    I hope someone out there would have encountered the same situation and have example & source for this. If yes, I request you please share it with me? My requirement is like follows.
    We have a client application created using java, which will have to be installed along with necessary dependencies such as some dll files, other executable files on various clients (up to 100 client machines with in a couple of hours) for single day events such as food festivals, conferences etc. This installer should connect to the server hosted somewhere on the the internet, and capture config data from the server and based on the configuration for that machine, client then should download the appropriate packages/features and install. This all should happen in less number of possible clicks and the user who is installing the application is a dumb user so not to expect much from him. It is possible the user might not even have JVM installed on his machine. He will have a browser and connected to the internet.
    Once the installation is done, the subsequent updates should be automatically done transparent to user so that he has all the latest applications and proper environment variables set etc.. Appreciate your help in this regard..I know JWS/JNLP helps the automatic download portiion. But I am not sure what sholud be my approach for the first time setup.
    Regards,
    Sridhar Kolluri

    The HTML Converter is a utility with a graphical interface that allows you to convert an HTML page containing applets to a format that will use the Java Plug-in. When you do this it'll give you the option of "Use only Java 1.x" or "Use any Java 1.x, or higher". If the user doesn't have the required version installed it will try and auto-download it (manual download if this isn't possible). It's part of the SDK.

    Hi,
    As far as I know, after installing SSRS, we don't need to configure the database and reporting URLs manully. When we install the reporting service for SCOM, it will configure those automatically.
    If possible, you may re-install SSRS and then install SCOM reporting service.

  • How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?

    How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
    I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
    How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?

    msmedia wrote:
    I do not currently own OS X ML.
    I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
    After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
    I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
    If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
    I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
    In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
    Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
    If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
    The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
    For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition.

  • How to use Time Machine before and after installing a new hard drive

    So basically I'm buying a new hard drive for my Macbook pro and I have a lot of files on my computer that I would like to save. I have never used Time Machine before so I need help on how to set it up before AND after installing the harddrive so my files get transferred onto the new hard drive. Thanks in advance

    wjosten wrote:
    Me, I would never use Time Machine to do this. What I'd suggest you do is get an exterior enclosure for your new drive. Then use either Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your existing drive to your new drive. Once done, verify your clone is bootable & all of your data present. Then swap drives & use your old drive for Time Machine backups(after erasing it). Then get another drive & exterior enclosure to regularly clone your new drive to.
    Unless he was swapping for a lower capacity HDD or to a lower capacity SSD, then the old drive would make a lousy Time Machine disk.  However, whenever I swap out a disk I do exactly what you do.  CCC to get the ol drive onto a new one.  Test by starting up to the new (but still external drive).  Then replace the internal drive.
    I usually just sell the old drive on eBay.  My Time Machine backup is always 2X the size of the internal drive, which I believe is a bit above recommendations, but works for me.  The price of large external drives is almost the same as smaller internal ones.

  • Mac OS X 10.5.1 - Disk Permission Verify and Repair Functions Are Broken

    Machine: Mac mini with 1.66 MHz Intel Core Duo,
    OS: Mac OS X Version 10.5.1
    Note: Upgraded to Leopard from version 10.4.10
    When using Disk Utility to attempt to verify or repair the permissions of the internal hard drive volume containing the OS, the progress meter stops moving and the verify or repair operation does not finish. The Console log file reveals the problem:
    Mac OS X Version 10.4.10 (Build 8R2218)

    Can't access "efi-boot-device" NVRAM variable
    Can't access "efi-boot-device" NVRAM variable
    Note that the OS version is incorrectly reported as 10.4.10 in the console log. This was the version that I was using PRIOR to installing Leopard. The version I'm actually using is 10.5.1.

    After a second look, the console messages do not relate to the problem I reported. They relate to another lockup problem I'm having after moving from Tiger to Leopard.
    Nevertheless, the description of the problems I'm having with the Verify and Repair functions of the Disk Utility is accurate. I had absolutely no problems when I was using Tiger.

  • Vista to XP Driver and Software install N200 0687

    Here's a guide I wrote up while I installed XP onto my laptop, it's been used by a few of my friends. It's specifically for the N200 0687 A31 but as a general guide it's best to install drivers and software in chronological order based on the date of the files on the lenovo site.
     XP doesn't recognize the hard drive under AHCI so first enter the bios by
    pressing F1 at boot and enter the Bios so you can change the SATA
    Controller Mode from "AHCI" to "Compatibility". While your there make sure
    in the boot order the CDrom is first. Put XP disk in drive and reboot.
    Delete the Vista install.(If you want to delete the hidden partition and you're smart you've generated recovery disks in case Vista service packs make it worth reinstalling)
    Install XP and Service Pack 2
    Read the text file associated with each driver to know how to deal with each extracted
    package, and note the directory the files are extracted to. Cancel any "Hardware
    Update Wizard" windows that pop up.
    Install in the following order:
    65vg09ww.exe         Display (Intel X3100) driver - that looks better.
    65sa02ww.exe         AHCI driver - find the three .inf files and right click
                                    and select install. Probably not all are necessary.
                                    Never mind. During any of the many ensuing reboots
                                    you can enter the Bios and change
                                    "Compatibility" back to "AHCI", and the first boot
                                    device back to the hard drive. Towards the end of
                                     this driver installation list ever boot will result in
                                    only one “Hardware Update Wizard” opening. Instead
                                    of canceling it manually direct the Wizard to select
                                    the best driver from the "AHCI" folder where it will
                                    select and install the "Intel(R) 82801HEM/IBM SATA
                                    AHCI Controller"

    > and why can i make the picture light
    I dont know what you mean by picture light!!!
    If you want to use all Fn keys you will need different tools and utilities.
    For example the FN+F3/F4 will not work if the power saver was not installed.
    Also the FN+F5 will not work if display device change utility will be not installed.
    As you can see, several applications are needed if you want to use the FN keys!!!
    But as the above user has suggested already, the XP drivers are not available.
    Maybe you can use some appellations designed fro another notebook series but this is only a tiny hope.

  • Using GPO to uninstall flash and then install latest version

    Hello,
    I wonder if someone could help me please.  Please bare with me as I am new to Group Policy, Scripting and Command Line usage.
    Given the recent security vulnerabilities in any Flash Player prior to 12.0.0.44 we need to get the latest version on all our clients asap.  We have about 1000 clients ranging from Windows XP SP3 (95% of computers) and the rest a mix of Windows 7 x32/x64 bit and one Windows 8 machine.  We have a very old Server 2003 SP2 tertiary Domain Controller setup and do not have the necessary GPO extensions to do some of the more useful things like computer file placement (for mms.cfg configs etc).
    I apologise for my ignorance and lack of understanding with these things however I'm looking to do (what others seem to accomplish so easily over the Web) just two things:
    1) Uninstall Flash Player from client machines using a "Computer-based" Group Policy (Note: This could be ANY version from version 10 to 12 so we don't have the luxury of "upgrading" via Group Policy as no previous policies exist for this, and it has to be a computer-based policy because we don't want the software to install for every user that logs on and also because they don't have Admin privileges)
    2) Install the latest version of Flash Player (12.0.0.44) once the previous version have been removed (cleanly with no corruption/left-over registry keys etc)
    I should point out I have successfully deployed the latest version to a test machine using a computer-based policy using a simple MSI package, however it installs it "alongside" the current version.  This is not what we want. We want ALL traces of old version to be removed regardless of version and the LATEST version to be installed in its place.
    Here's what I have tried so far:
    1) Using a computer-based logon script called 'flash.bat' that contains the following in an attempt to remove existing versions:
    start /wait "\\<UNC path to network share>uninstall_flash_player.exe -uninstall" (Note: "Authenticated Users have 'read/execute' permissions to this share)
    **This caused issues with an elevated command window being left open indefinately, so I added a /B to the end which solved that, however the script didn't work.
    I tried different permutations of adding the double quotes after the "exe", around the "-uninstall" etc to no avail.  I even tried introducing a time-delay by pinging localhost at the beginning of the script to see if that made a difference, but it didn't.
    2) Using a 3rd-party MSI Packaging Tool (ECMO Enterprise Edition) to "capture"  the uninstall process on a clean WinXP SP3 build, which then creates a compiled MSI which you use to deploy via Group Policy as normal - however this didn't work as it just installed other "ECMO package" files in its place and ignores flash completely.  I was going to try another MSI tool but haven't had the time to do that as yet.
    I'm a bit stuck at the moment..... not sure what to do next and I've been tasked to get this resolved for the whole organisation with little to no knowledge of the processes involved (harsh I know but that's the reality of my job unfortunately; things just "shoehorned" or "slopey shouldered" onto me)
    Any advice would be very much appreciated
    Kindest Regards
    David.

    I found a solution in the form of this script, which was customised to meet our needs.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4583529
    The only issue is the "check" part is flaky (although this could be due to DC replication intervals [we did force replication however]).  We need a way for a flag to be set and checked so that the script doesn't run everytime at startup; because this will undoubtedly cause our Helpdesk to be flooded with calls from disgruntled users complaining that their login time has increased by 13.7 seconds.....

  • After apple store erased and re-installed iPhoto has gone. how do I get it back ?

    macbook air 14 mths old wouldn't turn on. apple store said corrupted hard drive. erased and re-installed os x 10.8 . now restoring back up but iPhoto missing and iTunes and app stores says os version doesn't support them. What can I do ?

    Visit the store, log in and download again, what you can get. Apps are no problem, even videos.
    Regarding music, this is not since ever that you can download music again. So if there are older purchases, like from 5 years ago, you can't simply download them again from the store.
    In this case, contact iTunes support saying you lost all music purchases from before a certain date and kindly asking if they would make that available for download for you and most probably they will. The store keeps your purchase history, so they can verify.
    After all or at least most of the stuff is ack on HDD again - make a backup! And later, regularly make backups again. Remember it.
