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

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!

 

 

Wiping R12 and reinstalling

Step 1:       Stop all Oracle processes and the Distributed Transaction Coordinator service.

Step 2:       Run regedit and delete the following entries:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREORACLE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesOracle*
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ServicesOracle*
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet003ServicesOracle*

Exit regedit, and then reboot.

 Step 3:Delete the Oracle directory (x:oracleVIS12) and C:Program Filesoracle.

 Empty the recycle bin, and then reboot the computer once more.

 Step 4:Clean up the Program Menu for Oracle entries

 Step 5:Run Rapid Wizard to restart the R12 installation.

Installing Oracle Applications 11i Checklist

This is a list of steps to check for when installing Oracle Applications.

Step 1:        Ensure that hostname and IP address are in hosts file. Under Windows, ensure that in the hosts file, the hostname is in the following order:

127.0.0.1                    localhost.localdomain                       localhost

xx.xx.xx.xx               hostname.domainname                   alias

Step 2:        Ping machine. It should return:

C:> ping alias

Pinging hostname.domainname [xx.xx.xx.xx] with 32 bytes of data:

Step 3:        Create domain user applmgr and ensure that it is assigned to the Administrators group of the local machine.

Step 4:        Install Visual C++ 6.0 to C:VC98 and apply service pack 4

Step 5:        Install Cygwin to C:cygwin (see Metalink document “Using Cygwin to Maintain Release 11i on Windows” Doc ID:302859.1 for packages to download).

Step 6:        To compile GNU Make, run VCVARS.bat from Visual C++ directory and in the gnumake-3.79.1 directory, run build_w32.bat twice. Copy gnumake.exe to c:cygwinbin (or C:mksntmksnt).

Step 7:        Install Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 4 or later SDK. Copy file from Microsoft XML Parserlib to C:VC98lib.( 11.5.9)

Step 8:        Install Java SDK 1.3.1_18 (11.5.9) (or 1.3.1_15?)

Step 9:        Install Perl (download ActivePerl from http://www.perl.com) (11.5.10)

Step 10:   Copy zip.exe and unzip.exe to C:mksntmksnt

Step 11:    Ensure that all files are on the path:

which gnumake

which perl

which zip

which cc

which link

Modify path if necessary to include: C:Perlbin; C:cygwinbin;C:VC98bin.

Step 12:   Ensure correct versions of Perl and Java installed:

Perl –version

ActivePerl version should be v5.8.8

On Linux, Perl should be 5.003 or later

Java –version

Should be 1.3.1_18

Step 13:   Set TEMP and TMP environment variables for user applmgr to C:TEMP.

Step 14:   Check manual on startCD for instructions on directory structure (11.5.9).

Step 15:   Set up staging area.

Installing Oracle Applications Release 11.5.9 on Linux

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3

Installation

(Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 under a Vmware virtual machine)

Refer to Metalink Doc ID:  Note: 234783.1 (Subject:  Oracle Applications 11.5.9 – Installation Update Notes for Linux x86 – B10849-01)

Step 1:        For a single-user install, create user applmgr (UID 500, GID 500) and assign it to the dba group (GID 501). Make the primary group of user applmgr ‘dba’.

Step 2:        Ensure that at least 2GB RAM is allocated and a 4GB swapfile exists. If possible, set the number of CPUs to 2.

Step 3:        Necessary packages must exist on the system (current ones shown in brackets):

  1. binutils-2.14.90.0.4-35 [binutils-2.14.90.0.4-26]
  2. compat-db-4.0.14-5 [ok]
  3. compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122 [ok]
  4. compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122 [ok]
  5. compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122 [ok]
  6. gcc-3.2.3-42 [gcc-3.2.3-20]
  7. gcc-c++-3.2.3-42 gcc-c++-3.2.3-20]
  8. glibc-2.3.2-95.27 [glibc-2.3.2-95.3]
  9. glibc-common-2.3.2-95.27 glibc-common-2.3.2-95.3]
  10. gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1 [x]
  11. libaio-0.3.96-5 [libaio-0.3.96-3]
  12. libaio-devel-0.3.96-5 [libaio-devel-0.3.96-3]
  13. libgcc-3.2.3-42 [libgcc-3.2.3-20]
  14. libstdc++-3.2.3-42 [libstdc++-3.2.3-20]
  15. libstdc++-devel-3.2.3-42 [libstdc++-devel-3.2.3-20]
  16. make-3.79.1-17 [ok]
  17. openmotif21-2.1.30-8 [ok]
  18. pdksh-5.2.14-21 [ok]
  19. setarch-1.3-1 [ok]
  20. sysstat-4.0.7-4.EL3.3 [x]

sysstat-4.0.7-4.EL3.3 – RHEL AS 3 CD 2

gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-34.1 – RHEL AS 3 CD 3

Or load Add/Remove Programs and include:

  1. GNOME Software Development
  2. System Tools [sysstat]
  3. Legacy Development Tools

From Metalink Doc ID: 234783.1, the following are required RPMs:

  • compat-db-4.0.14.5 [Red Hat CD 3]
  • compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122
  • compat-gcc-c++-7.3.2.96.122
  • compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122
  • openmotif21-2.1.30-8.i386.rpm [Red Hat CD 3 – MUST be installed manually]
  • setarch-1.3-1

Step 4:        Ensure that the following utilities are present by issuing it as a parameter to the ‘which’ command.

  • which ar
  • which cc
  • which ld
  • which make

Step 5:        Ensure that the JRE JDK 1.3.1_11 is installed. Download the RPM bin file from http://java.sun.com/products /archive/. Execute the .bin file to extract the RPM file (Legacy Development Tools must be installed from Add/Remove Programs). When run, the RPM creates the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_11 directory. Create a softlink in /usr/local/bin to the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_11/bin/java file. Verify that java works by running java –version from the terminal.

Step 6:         Insert the first CD (Start Here) and copy the CD to the staging area:

mkdir /u4/stage1159

mkdir startCD

mkdir Disk1

cd /u4/stage1159/startCD/Disk1

cp –r /media/cdrom/* .

About 33GB of disk space is required to set up the staging area.

Step 7:        Download and apply patch 3006854.

Step 8:        On the console of appslinux (not VNC), start Rapid Install by running rapidwiz (located in script /home/applmgr/setup1159.env):

unset LANG (this is EXTREMELY important!)

setarch i386

export DISPLAY=:0.0

echo $DISPLAY

cd /u0/stage1159/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz

./rapidwiz

Follow the wizard to completion. See Metalink Doc IDs: 466544.996, 640827.995 and 234783.1.

Refer to the “Installing Oracle Applications: A Guide to Using Rapid Install Release 11i (11.5.10)” (r11510ins.pdf) for more information.

No TNS Listener Installing Instance

Problem: In step 5 of 5 during installation of Oracle Applications instance, TNS listener does not start.

Solution: hosts file configured incorrectly.

The correct format of the hosts file is:

Under Windows:


xx.xx.xx.xx hostname.domainname alias
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

Another symptom that the hosts file was not set up correctly: the StartCD did not stage properly.

Installing Oracle Applications – Timing

This documentation covers installing Oracle Applications on the Linux operating system. The installation was done on the appslinux server (\appslinux.support.com).

Refer to “Installing Oracle Applications: A Guide to Using Rapid Install” (Part No. B19296-01) for more information. (C:VasudevAppsDoc11iacrobatr115102ins.pdf)

Step 1: Log on to the appslinux server via VNC on port 1.

If you cannot log on to VNC, load Command Prompt, telnet to appslinux, log on as user applmgr and run vncserver at the prompt. Note the port, and then exit.

Step 2: The VIS3 instance has to be deleted to make space for the new installation. This instance is located in the /u3 folder.

[applmgr@appslinux oracle]$ cd /u3/oracle/
[applmgr@appslinux oracle]$ ls -al
total 32
drwxr-xr-x    8 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr 14  2005 .

drwxr-xr-x    4 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr 14  2005 vis3ora

Step 3: To view the disk used by a folder, use the ‘du oracle –csh’ command.

[applmgr@appslinux u3] $ du oracle -csh
88G     oracle
88G     total

Note: This command takes about five (5) minutes to complete. Use sparingly.

Step 4: To delete the /u3/oracle folder, issue the ‘rm –rf *’ command.

[applmgr@appslinux oracle]$ ls -al
total 32
drwxr-xr-x    8 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr 14  2005 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr  5 11:30 ..
drwxrwxrwx    2 applmgr  dba          4096 Nov 18  2005 scripts
drwxr-xr-x  200 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr 14  2005 vis3appl
drwxr-xr-x   10 applmgr  dba          4096 Sep 13  2005 vis3comn
drwxr-xr-x    2 applmgr  dba          4096 Dec 22  2005 vis3data
drwxr-xr-x    3 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr 14  2005 vis3db
drwxr-xr-x    4 applmgr  dba          4096 Apr 14  2005 vis3ora
[applmgr@appslinux oracle]$ rm -rf *

The –f option ignores nonexistent files and never prompts.

The –r option removes the contents of directories recursively.

Note: Remember to stop services and database if you are deleting an instance.

Note: Deleting all the instance files takes about twelve (12) minutes.
