RC-20200: Fatal: Could not find Unzip When Installing EBS R12

Posted by on December 12, 2014 1 comment

Problem: While installing EBS R12.1 on Linux x86-64, the following error appears:

"Processing Disk1....

RC-20200: Fatal: Could not find Unzip. At this time only Native UnZip 5.X is supported.

Please make sure you have UnZip 5.X in your path and try again...

Cannot execute Install for database ORACLE_HOME

RW-50010: Error: - script has returned an error:   1
RW-50004: Error code received when running external process.  Check log file for details.
Running Database Install Driver for TEST instance"

Solution: As root user, rename the default unzip (/usr/bin/unzip) to a temporary filename (e.g. /usr/bin/unzip-ver6), perform the installation, and then rename unzip-ver6 to the original name when complete.

# mv /usr/bin/unzip /usr/bin/unzip-ver6

perl: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

Posted by on July 2, 2012 No comments

Problem:

While installing R12 on Linux, the following error appears:

perl: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared object 
file: Permission denied

General Solution:

– As per an internal Bug:4045349, this is an issue with O/S side installation of compat-db rpm.
libdb.so.3 gets installed when compat-db rpm is installed.

– The O/S installation CD would contain compat-db
e.g compat-db-4.1.25-6.i386.rpm ( may change as per your version ).

– Manually install the compat-db rpm
e..g “rpm -ivh compat-db-4.1.25-6.i386.rpm”
(Contact the O/S Administrator for more information to install the compat-db rpm and correct  command )

– Once it is done, re-try to install the applications. ( if the screen shows the Re-try option )

OR

– Remove/clean the current installation ( refer Note:169402.1 ) and re-install the application.

This would resolve the “..libdb.so.3…” error.

Solution in this situation:

[root@oel5vis4bi lib]# pwd
/usr/lib
[root@oel5vis4bi lib]# ls -al libdb.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 Mar 22 15:01 libdb.so -> ../../lib/libdb-4.3.so
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 5825 Jul  2 11:53 libdb.so.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5825 Mar 23 11:40 libdb.so.2.6078836
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   19 Mar 23 11:42 libdb.so.3 -> /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
[root@oel5vis4bi lib]#

libdb.so.2 extracted from patch 6078836

Change permission on libdb.so.2 to 644:

chmod 644 libdb.so.2

JDK for Linux SQL Developer

Posted by on March 21, 2012 No comments

Problem:

After installing SQL Developer on Linux, which Java JDK should be installed?

Solution:

On the Java SE Downloads page (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html), locate the Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 31 section (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u31-download-1501634.html), and download and install the Linux version of the JDK:

Linux x86 (32-bit)    77.07 MB        jdk-6u31-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Problem:

After installing 11g on Oracle Linux 5, the database was not automatically created. After exiting OUI and manually running dbca, the following error appears:

File /etc/oratab is not accessible.

Solution:

The script root.sh was not run. Log on as the root user and then run $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh (usually /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/root.sh).

Creating additional Linux swapfile

Posted by on March 12, 2012 No comments

Problem:

After installing Linux in a virtual machine, the memory is increased from 512MB to 1536MB. The swap file must be increased as well, but there is no additional hard drive space or partitions to increase the swap partition.

Solution:

Create a new swap file:

1. As the root user, create a 3072MB swap file (block size=1024 bytes, count=1024*3072 blocks):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=3145728

2. Create swap file in swapfile1:

mkswap /swapfile1

3. Set file permissions for swapfile1:

chmod 0600 /swapfile1

4. Turn on swapfile:

swapon /swapfile1

5. Add swapfile to fstab:

Edit /etc/fstab and add the following line:

/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0

-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Posted by on March 8, 2012 No comments

Problem:

While following online instructions for installing E-Business Suite, it is advised to add the following code to /etc/profile:

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
 if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
 ulimit -p 16384
 ulimit -n 65536
 else
 ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
 fi
fi

However, when a user logs on, the following message appears:

-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Solution:

Set the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf, not /etc/profile. Follow E-Business Suite installation documentation on My Oracle Support, not online!
