Installation and Migration

This chapter describes installation and migration issues and their workarounds associated with Oracle9iAS. It covers the following topics:

2.1 Preinstallation Issues

There are no known preinstallation issues.

2.2 Installation Issues

There are no known installation issues.

2.3 Postinstallation Issues

This section covers the following postinstallation issue:

(UNIX only) Configure JServ After Installation

2.3.1 (UNIX only) Configure JServ After Installation

Oracle9iAS install does not configure JServ by default. As a workaround, configure JServe using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console after installation. Oracle Management Server has a reporting servlet that runs within JServ. In order to access this reporting servlet, configure JServ from the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.

Infrastructure installs do not have JServ listed as an installed component in ORACLE_HOME/config/ias.properties. Therefore, JServ is, by default, not configurable after installation.

To make JServ configurable in the infrastructure install, edit the ias.properties file from ORACLE_HOME/config directory as below:

Change the following existing line (to append JServ to Components entry) from:

Components=Apache,J2EE,WebCache,SSO,OID

to:

Components=Apache,J2EE,WebCache,SSO,OID,JServ

2.4 Deinstallation Issues

There are no known deinstallation issues.

2.5 Reinstallation Issues

This section covers the following reinstallation issue:

Reinstallation not Supported

2.5.1 Reinstallation not Supported

Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3) does not support reinstallation. After you successfully installed Oracle9iAS Release 2 (9.0.3) J2EE and Webcache, if you try to install the same product into the same home directory, the OC4J configuration tool fails. This is because the OC4J configuration tool does not handle the reinstallation appropriately.

2.6 Migration Issues

There are no known migration issues.
