1 Install and Configure

This chapter describes issues pertaining to Oracle Fusion Middleware product installation and configuration.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

1.1 Issues Pertaining to Product Installation

There are no known issues at this time.

1.2 Issues Pertaining to Product Configuration

This section contains the following topics:

1.2.1 Oracle Configuration Manager Cannot be Configured From the Product Installer on IBM AIX

In 12c (12.1.2), Oracle Configuration Manager cannot be configured through the installer on IBM AIX operating systems.

To work around this issue:

  1. Start the product installer as documented in the product install guide.

  2. On the Specify Security Updates screen, de-select I wish to receive security updates via My Oracle Support.

  3. Complete the product installation and dismiss the installer.

  4. Run the setupCCR and configCCR scripts in the ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/ccr directory to setup and configure Oracle Configuration Manager.

1.2.2 Harmless Error Messages When Creating IAU_APPEND and IAU_VIEWER Schemas From the Command Line

If you are running the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) from the command line and performing the system load and data load phases separately, the IAU_APPEND and IAU_VIEWER schemas will generate error messages.

These error messages can be safely ignored, and both IAU_APPEND and IAU_VIEWER schemas will be created.

1.3 Issues Pertaining to Product Installation and Configuration Documentation

This section contains the following topics:

1.3.1 Oracle WebLogic Server ZIP Installer Documentation Erroneously Asks for JAVA_VENDOR to be Set

The ZIP installer for Oracle WebLogic Server documentation (README.txt) states that on Windows operating systems, the JAVA_VENDOR environment variable must be set to the JVM that is being used prior to starting the Configuration Wizard.

This is incorrect, as setting the JAVA_VENDOR variable is not a requirement. If this variable is not set, the Configuration Wizard will extract the VM_TYPE from the environment to point to the correct JDK.

The valid values of JAVA_VENDOR are Oracle or Apple, and the valid values of VM_TYPE are HotSpot or Apple.

1.3.2 SIP Server Template Incorrectly Displayed During Configuration

During configuration, the configuration wizard displays the SIP Server Template incorrectly.

Do not select this template during configuration.

1.3.3 Incorrect Step Displayed on the Installation Complete Screen

On completing a standalone OHS installation, the step 'Start Node Manager and Domain Servers' is displayed as one of the next steps you should take after installation.

This information is incorrect, as there are no domain servers configured during the standalone installation.

1.3.4 Incorrect Administration Console URL Format on the Configuration and Reconfiguration Screen

An incorrect format of the administration console URL is displayed on the summary page of the Fusion Middleware Infrastructure configuration or reconfiguration wizard.

The correct format of the administration console URL is:

http://machine_name:port/console

1.3.5 ODI Instance Option Displayed While Running FMW Infrastructure Configuration Wizard

When you are creating a system component using the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard, ODI is listed as a component type that you can create, even though Oracle Data Integrator is not available in the current Fusion Middleware 12c (12.1.2) release.

Do not select this component type when creating or reconfiguring a domain.

1.3.6 Edit wlst Offline Script

When using a wlst offline script with multiple updateDomain() calls, you must add a readDomain() call after each updateDomain() call.

1.3.7 Performance Issues While Configuring Domains with Remote Databases

If you are creating a new domain with the Fusion Middleware Configuration Wizard, it may take longer to perform certain setup operations. You might notice these longer operation times when performing the following tasks:

  • During RCU creation of the IAU schema.

  • During domain creation when loading security policies

  • During node manager startup when node manager is configured to use the keystore service

1.3.8 Error Message Displayed When Incorrect Version of JDK Used for Installation

When you attempt to install a Fusion Middleware product on a 64-bit system, using a JDK for a 32-bit system, an error message is displayed before the installation begins.

Refer to the System Requirements and Specifications document for your product, and download a suitable JDK from the following location, before installing the Fusion Middleware software:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

1.3.9 Deinstallation of the Fusion Middleware Product Does Not Erase All Program Shortcuts

Deinstalling a Fusion Middleware product does not erase the shortcuts from the product's home directory.

Manually delete the program shortcuts.

1.3.10 Incorrect Error Message Displayed if JDK not Compatible with Operating System

If you run the installer jar file from a 32-bit JDK7 JVM on a 64-bit machine, the installer displays an incorrect message that the version of the JVM is correct and the version of the operating system on which the software is installed is incorrect.

Refer to the System Requirements and Specifications document for your product, and download a suitable JDK from the following location, before installing the Fusion Middleware software:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

1.3.11 Prerequisite Checks Fail While installing Oracle Fusion Middleware Products on Some HP Hosts

While installing Oracle Fusion Middleware products on some HP hosts, the prerequisite check related to CPU speed fails.

While launching the installer, specify the command line option -ignoreSysPrereqs. This lets the installer skip the System Prerequisite Checks and proceed with the installation.

1.3.12 Errors Displayed During 12c ASCORE Installation

While installing Oracle Web Tier 12c (12.1.2) on an Oracle Solaris 11 system, the following errors are seen in the console:

sh: line 1:usr/sbin/patchadd:not found

Ignore these error messages.

1.3.13 Warning Messages in make.log File

While installing 12.1.2 OHS on AIX, warning messages appear in the make.log file in the following location:

OHS_HOME/install/make.log

Ignore these error messages.

1.3.14 Deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware Product Does Not Erase All Program Shortcuts in Windows OS

Deinstalling a Fusion Middleware product from a Windows OS does not erase the shortcuts from the product's home directory.

Manually delete the program shortcuts.

1.3.15 Register NodeManager as a Windows Service Serving a Standalone OHS Domain

To register NodeManager as a Windows Service serving a Standalone OHS domain do the following after you have created the standalone domain:

  1. Set the JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable so that it points to the standalone OHS domain directory. Enter the following command to set the environment variable:

    set JAVA_OPTIONS=-Dohs.product.home=C:\work\stand\ohs -Dweblogic.RootDirectory=domain_directory
    

    For example:

    Set Java_options=-dohs.product.home=c:\work\stand\ohs -dweblogic.rootdirectory=c:\oracle_home\ohs\user_projects\domains\ohs
    
  2. Navigate to the domain\bin directory, and run the following command:

    installNodeMgrSvc.cmd
    

1.3.16 Simple Security Mode Does Not Function with OAM Server

On the AIX Platform, Simple Security Mode is not functioning with OAM Server.

While registering new Webgate Agent for artifacts generation, select Open or Cert Security Mode in OAM Server Console.

1.3.17 Deinstalling Product Leaves Behind Files That Should Have Been Deleted

The 12.1.2 deinstall does not remove all the files.

To remove all of the Fusion Middleware installed in your Oracle Home, run deinstall for all the products installed, and then delete the entire Oracle Home directory.

1.4 Documentation Errata

This section contains the following topics:

1.4.1 Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence Installation Type Name is Incorrect

In Installing and Configuring Oracle WebLogic Server and Coherence, one of the installation types is incorrectly referred to as the "Complete with Examples" installation type.

The correct name of this installation type is "Complete Installation."

1.4.2 Managed Server Names are Incorrect

In "Starting the Managed Servers" in Installing and Configuring the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure, there are references to Managed Servers named adf_server_1 and adf_server_2.

The correct names of the Managed Servers are infra_server_1 and infra_server_2.
