Yum Repository Setup

Hi there,
I have been following the instruction fro the following page:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html
and I got to step 7. Run createrepo
but createrepo is not installed nor downloadable from oracle, I believe it has something to do with step 3. Install uln-yum-proxy.
up2date -i uln-yum-proxy
The following packages you requested were not found:
uln-yum-proxy
This is not important I was trying it for learning purpose, but it would be nice if it did work.
Can i download redhat's createrepo package or that will not work?
Many Thanks
Ricardo

Sergio I already cdid this step but I still can't find the uln-yum-proxy file. Any comments?
Thanks in advance

Uln_register error when trying to create a local yum repository

trying to setup a local repository on ol6 first time following this linkhttp://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/yum-repository-setup-085606.html, and got the following message when I run uln_register to register. I know i need to make some change in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, but don't know what needs to be done. I added my company's proxy in enablehttp=xxx, but still not working. Please help me out. thanks.
We can't contact the Unbreakable Linux
Network Server.
Double check the location provided - is
'https://linux-update.oracle.com/XMLRPC'
correct?
If not, you can correct it and try again.
Make sure that the network connection on
this system is operational.

in command line, adding proxy works. Thanks.

Up2date http forbidden error when trying to use local yum repository

I have recently set up a local yum repository according to the directions in the document located at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/yum-repo-setup-1659167.html
Now, when I run up2date -u, I get the following output:

Thanks for the helpFirst of all, having both of these setup is completely redundant. The only difference between these two channels is that the el5 channel contains rpms from before the release of OL5.6 and up to now and the ol5 channel only contains everything since OL5.6 to now.
Second, can you post the entire sources file?
Third, though Dude isn't completely correct about the use of up2date, you can use yum on OL5 to get updates from the server, but you'd need to just use yum and not up2date in that case. For some reason, when you configure up2date to use yum via the sources file it uses a completely different stack of yum software other than the yum client that is installed by the yum rpms. Instead, it uses the older header format provided by yum-arch. When you use yum by itself, it uses the metadata that's created from createrepo instead (think repodata).
Fourth, you may have better luck with using the yum client overall. And actually, in the long run you would be better served to use yum since asa OL4 is phased out, we're going to discontinue yum-arch which will in turn stop the up2date clients from working in this scenario. (Note: we don't use yum-arch to generate header information for ULN.)

Yum repository

Hello sir
Can I get the link of Your YUM repository so that I can configure in .repo file to point to your yum repository for packages.Is there any payment we need to do for that.Now we want packages named yast2-country.2.13.35, yast2-users, autoyast2-installation, yast2-bootloader, yast2-mouse, yast2-online-update, yast2-packager, yast2-storage, yast2-update, .Can you please provide from where I get these packages.These packages are asked when I tried to install yast-installation rpm. Waiting for you response

You didn't drill deep enough while looking at the repo:
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/7/base/i386/
You must download the public-yum-el5.repo repository setup file, as directed.
Open the file in an editor.
What version of OL do you have? Leave that stanza alone. Comment out all other stanza using an octothorp (#), just like the shell uses.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 Yum repository

Hello,
As far as the documentation says, the Yum repository should be set only at the Oracle VM Manager.
1. Is there a way to add more than one yum repository address ?
2. Is there a way to check which are the available packages for each Oracle VM server, through the Oracle VM
3. Is there a way to install just a single package from the repository, not to perform upgrade
Thanks

It's just ordinary old yum on the server doing the work, so you can do whatever you want. (Maybe Oracle would quibble about what is "supported", of course.)
When you set the yum repository URL from the manager, he just (from what I've seen) sets up the /etc/yum.repos.d file on all the servers. I assume, but haven't checked, that the file wouldn't get updated after that. So, you can update that file to add more repositories, if you want to.
And you can certainly run "yum list updates" and "yum update xxx" manually on whatever servers you want to.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 - How to define the YUM repository URL

The documentation shows an example or two about how to define the URL of the Yum repository I created, but it doesn't seem to define EXACTLY what to do. For example, the URL to the directory with my RPMs in it is:
http://my-yum.acbl.net/yum/OracleVM/OVM3/3.1.1/patch/x86_64/getPackage
Can someone tell me how much of that path I should enter into the "YUM Base URL" sub-tab under the "Tools and Resources" tab in the VM Manager? I have tried to make an intelligent guess (or two), but it's not updating properly, and I don't know if I'm entering the URL properly.

Thank you. I'll try that, and update this again, if it seems to be wrong.
I actually opened an SR on this, and asked this same question. After several hours, I got a response, something like "What part of the documentation do you find unclear?". I tried to carefully explain that the docs don't (as best I can tell) define how much of the path should be in the URL given to Oracle VM. I still haven't heard back.

Error on repository setup

Hi all,I am trying to install hyperion planning 2.0/Essbase 6.1 ,which has got HBR component and requires to setup for its repository on Oracle 8.1.7.When I try to setup it pops up a message saying 'com.ms.com.ComError'.Also I am yet to download the patch 3a from central patch of hyperion support.can anyone know what this error means and also guide me in setup.Thanks in advanceJaya.

First, Make sure you have the Oracle 8.1.6 client installed on the computer. Then check and make sure you have your Classpath Enviorment Variable set on the machine (Ex. CLASSPATH = C:\Ora817\jdbc\lib\Classes12.zip) Also, Check and make sure you have the correct sqlnet.ora file for your company.I hope that helps.

Typical Repository setup for multiple developer environment.

I'm having trouble finding documentation on setting up a
development environment for several developers using Repository.
I currently have a Global Shared Workarea set up with some
Forms .fmb files that I would like to share. What method should
the developer who wants to work on one of these files use to
perform a check out of the file? When a file is checked out, is
it moved to a Private Workarea or is it downloaded to the
developers hard drive? Within Forms Builder there is a check out
option under File->Administration, but as far as I can tell,
there is no way to browse the Repository to find the file that
needs to be worked on. I'm able to use the Repository Object
Navigator to locate the file, but when I check it out I'm not
sure how to work on it within Forms Builder. Do I need to
download the file to my hard drive, or is Forms Builder able to
work on the file within the Repository?

Tom,
Nice set of questions.
I suggest you allow each developer to create their own workarea,
these will be private, until they are shared to other developers.
For a simple environment the workarea rule will be latest(main).
Check your fmb files into the Repository, they will then appear
in any workarea that has the rule latest on main. You will also
need to make the folder they reside in available to public, or
grant access to individual users.
Each developer should map the folder to a particular clientside
directory. I suggest you apply some standards across development
machines to avoid confusion. A mapping to d:\forms would be
ideal. On checkout of an fmb it will be synchronized with the
local file system. The form can then be opened from he Forms
Builder. You are correct that there is no For Builder Repository
browser, you must use the RON. Once the form is open in the
Forms Builder it may be checked in and out. You will need to go
back to the RON to perform diff/merge and dependency analysis.
I suggest you ask 2 developers to work on the same fmb and see
how the repository handles this. Try merging fmb files,
hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised.
Note that to add files to a checked in folder you must check it
out. To make the changes available to other workareas you must
check the folder back in.
Have a look at the commandline tool. We use a lot of scripts to
assist setup and build releases.

Install demo applications after initial repository setup

I did not install the demo applications during the initial install and configuration of 10g. Section 4.1 of the Quick Start guide states to manually run the Repository Wizard to install them after the fact, but it does not display the option to install the demos, it only checks to see if an upgrade is necessary. I can no longer use the original 10.2.0.1 installer because I have already applied the 10.2.0.2 patchset. Is there any way to get the demo applications installed without uninstalling everything and starting over?
Oracle database Lite 10.2.0.2.0 in iAS 9.0.4
RHEL3

Problem solved. I temporarily installed a standalone Mobile Server and copied the ./mobile/server/demos directory to my original iAS installation so I could run the demoinstaller script.

Not able to configure yum update or yum repository on the OVM 3.1.1

Can I Install SOA Suite 10.1.3.1 on Enterprise Linux 64 bit ?

Hi everyone.
I just downloaded and installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1 for x86_64.
I tried installing SOA suite 10.1.3.1 and failed the distro check. I then tried to do this with the ignoreSysPreReqs switch and got the following exception :
/tmp/OraInstall2008-01-17_03-50-18PM/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So is this instalation possible ?
Thanassis

With new products and point releases coming out so often (which is a good thing) from Oracle development, there would be no way that Development could forsee in advance every single package that might be needed to install the various Oracle technology stacks.
But finding and installing whatever packages you need is pretty painless using Yum and Up2Date on Enterprise Linux.
Take a look at the following and use in conjunction with the setup guide
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html

Package Manager OEL5R3 not working like it does in RHEL5R3

In Red Hat after you register with RHN, the Package Manager (Add/Remove Programs in the menu) will show a list of package groups that can be pulled from the installation media on the Browse tab. I have found this to be very helpful during initial setup of a system and it does not seem to work at all with OEL5R3.
I have been able to populate the List tab by setting up a yum repository, but was really hoping to see the package groups (which contain many pre-selected packages) in this tool.
I have done a lot of searching and there seems to be very limited information about this tool. When attempting to view the setup on a RHL box through the GUI the app dumps with a python error. The config files themselves do not appear to be straight up yum config files.
Anyone have this working? Does it work properly on R1 or R2?
Thank you...
-Andy

Time for me to clarify, again :)
1) RPM package groups are a supported feature for OEL, including the RPM tools.
2) The availability of package groups, along with their presentation offering
on the pirut, system-config-packages, or GNOME menu, depends on whether or
not a particular repository provides the necessary "comps.xml" definition
files. Without these files, pirut doesn't know anything about package
groups.
3) OEL installation media provides these "comps.xml" files, so RPM package
groups are available during initial installation.
4) The ULN Network has the files available for download, depending on the
channel subscriptions, but does not utilize them for the ability to download
or update on a package group basis.
5) Oracle offers a public YUM repository, where package groups may be used.
More details on this are on the http://public-yum.oracle.com web site,
including a "public-yum-{el4,el5,ovm2}.repo" definition file that can be
installed into "/etc/yum.repos.d/" for yum(8) access.
6) Once you have the public YUM repository setup from #5, you can use pirut,
system-config-packages, et. al., to install an RPM package group.
The catch is the packages will be from the original distribution media, so
after that you must "yum update" or "up2date --update" to get the latest
versions.
Hope this clarifies my earlier too-succinct response.

Thanks, for your help

We purchased Licensed version of Red Hat Linux Oracle for our network server. My boss wanted a simple way of installing Samba on it so that the server can be used for file and printer sharing. We have an active directory on our network and couple of other Windows servers as well as other Red Hat servers. He wants to install Samba on that licensed version so that it can primarily be used for file storage and sharing, he wants to be able to connect with gui type interface to this server from windows machines and linux machines and he wants for this Red Hat Linux Oracle machine to show up in active directory.
Aparently when we went to Applications, Add Remove Software in Red Hat Fedora Samba was not in there.
When we go to System, Administration, Server Settings, Services, Samba is also not there.
Nowhere can we find an easy way of installing samba on this Linux OS.
I went to your site, signed in, (previously there was only 1 channel available there, I have just recently found and added all the channels that were aplicable to our system) and downloading them now to another version of the same type of Licensed Red Hat Linux Oracle. Hopefully when I use Software Updater in System Tools it will load the packages we are loking for (from the channels I selected on your website). Once that is done I think I could just go to add remove software and install the packages that I need from there.
I am still not sure why I set out to install repositories on this version of Linux, perhaps I mistakenly thought that once everything is installed (according to directions at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/htdocs/yum-repository-setup.html) on the machine in question I would be able to use that same machine to get the packages for that same machine. We were in such a rush and desperate to put the server on to the network it did not dawn on me that this scenario is designed to have one serve on the network that holds repositories and other machines connect to it for packages.
I think I am on the right track in my logic, log in to your site with the CSI number, user name and password, select ALL the channels versus only one, save the search, then from the machine update packages, then add new software and Samba Should be in there. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
This version of Linux seem like a very reliable version of OS and I would hate to give up on it, especially since we already bought licenses for it, its just that we don't have that much experience with it and I would upreciate all the info that you can give us for it. I am sure that everyone at SMMJ will upreciate you for it.

ULN access and use

I’m finally making some progress on setting up my OEL machine for ULN updates. Purchased a service contract, registered it on ULN, registered my machine with
root# up2date –-registerthat was in itself an “experience”. I was logged on via putty, and a lot of the feedback was going all over the screen. I was able to enter my sso account, password, and csi, but beyond that was kind of reduced to just hitting ‘enter’ and hoping for the best. I couldn’t tell what “ button” was considered active.
In any event, after that completed I logged back on to ULN and there was my machine listed as a registered system. Now I have a few question about using this …
1)     When I select my listed system at ULN, I am presented with a list of 72 “available errata”. I presume I need to install these but am not sure how.
2)     The system is listed as its fully qualified server.domain name but I see that I can edit that. What value is there in doing so – in giving it some alias? Also, on that edit page there is a check box for “yum server”. How is this used – that is how is checking that check box used? I have been applying updates for some time from oracle’s public yum server, even without this support contract.
3)     In the future, if I become aware of some needed patch, how do I go about obtaining it from ULN?

If you enable the "yum server" option, you can subscribe the server to non-appropriate channels, i.e. for other versions or architectures. This allows you to create a local yum server, either by using the Linux Management Pack for Grid Control (which is included with all Basic and Premier ULN subscriptions) or by using the procedure described here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/yum-repository-setup-085606.html
3)     In the future, if I become aware of some needed patch, how do I go about obtaining it from ULN?The up2date command on your server allows you to download and install patches from ULN. Alternatively, as I mentioned above, if you have a Basic or Premier ULN subscription, you also have a license the run the Linux Management Pack within Grid Control. This product can manage provisioning and patching for all your Oracle Linux servers in one central location.
