Oracle or Java problem ?

[Leif Halvarsson_2]

Hi,

We are trying to install Oracle 10g on a rp3410. HP-UX version is 10.23. When creating the database we get a number of Java errors and the creation fails.

When we do the same installation on a rp2470, using the same HP-UX version and same patch level, we don't get any problems.

Is it a Oracle or a java problem and is it a known problem ????

The error messages is listed below:

Leif,
are you using the same version of Java ?
Also are your kernel parameters ok (especially maxssize)?
Check Oracle Installation Guide for Minimum Required.

Hi Leif,

I guess, it is HP-UX 11.23. It could be a problem with Oracle. Better contact oracle support. http://otn.oracle.com

Hi,

This was a very strange problem. The problem was the oracle user .shrc file . This file contained terminal setting commands ("stty" and "tabs"). The .shrc file is run from every new shell.

During the installation process, the Oracle installer starts shells for different tasks. Some of this shells creates output files. As the installer is run from GUI there is no terminal to set and the output from the commends is discarded into the output file. And, the file becoms corrupted.

After removing the terminal settings command from the .shrc file, the installation works.
