The Incident Archive

So just finished our upgrade to 11.1.1.9 and what a coincidence 12c was just released. One little snag installing jdeveloper as a user other than an administrator: Once my installation was done I could not update Extensions or Open Source my screen would just freeze/ hang or install from local.  The problem : Unable to lock Central Inventory So I just navigated to the following directory and gave my user full control. C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory

Ok so I have 64-bit windows 7, Word 2007 32-bit, 64 bit jrockit I got an error installing the desktop - said I needed jre 1.6 or above. So I went to - http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and downloaded the latest version 7 64bit vm installed this and then installed the 32-bit bi desktop msi. Everything worked from there.

We ran into a problem running the web center installation on Solaris 11 yesterday and I need to document this for my own sake. The installation would fail all prerequisite checks randomly on different environments. We could just click continue and the install would be fine or run with ./runInstaller -ignoreSysPreReqs. Our sys admin ran a trace and we tracked the problem down to a file being generated a run time using the sysdef -i command. This showed us that IPC Semaphores module is not loaded. Just running the ipcs -a command before we install fixed the error for us and generated the correct size of file and made everything work - amazing.

I did a fresh install of Web Center and was starting up my managed server through the console: [Windows] I got a bunch of errors in my log file and the deployment failed. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jrf.wls.JRFStartup Fix:  Find your nodemanager.properties -should be [Weblogic Dir]\wlserver_10.3\common\nodemanager  Change the line StartScriptEnabled=false to StartScriptEnabled=true.   Everything should work If not check that you have the JFR stuff installed.

Quick and dirty installation guide really was a simple install so here goes: We are running on dead rat and I am a fossil so I went for a RPM install not yum. 1) Added a hudson user using useradd. 2) rpm -ivh hudson.rpm 3) Make sure your java is in the candidates list. cat /etc/init.d/hudson look for this config:  for candidate in /usr/java/latest/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0/bin/java  /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0/bin/java /usr/bin/java do   [ -x "$HUDSON_JAVA_CMD" ] && break   HUDSON_JAVA_CMD="$candidate" done 4) Optional : Change the huson startup to run as the hudson user using sudo visudo Add the following config: Cmnd_Alias HUDSON = /etc/init.d/hudson stop, /etc/init.d/hudson start, /etc/init.d/hudson restart hudson ALL= NOPASSWD: HUDSON  5) Edit any config you need in /etc/sysconfig/hudson 6) Start hudson sudo /etc/init.d/hudson start
