I'm unavailable to install OEM release 2.2 in my computer, because the installer does nothing. I put the cd and it start running, then I choose Install/Deinstall Products, and that's all, it simply does nothing. I had OEM already installed and working but I lost my former configuration due to a crash, so I need to install it again.
Actually, I have Developer 6i installed and working fine, so I don't understand why the OEM installer doesn't run.
Any ideas? My pc is a PIV 1.8 ghz, 512 MB RAM and I'm working with Oracle 8.1.7 on a Sun Solaris 8 server. Even the OEM Repository exist in the server. The problem is that I can't install the software.
Have you looked at the workarounds for the Pentium 4 bug. There are numerous posts on this site dealing with that issue. You need to change one file and rename another. I has been a while since I have dealt with this issue, and I don't remember the specifics. But this looks like the pentium 4 bug.
I recently asked to local Oracle support on this matter and they send me a workaround (with a mention on P4 bug), and I follow those instructions: yes, download a patch from Metalink and install another "intaller" and rename some files. But even this new "setup" runing from the computer (not from the cd) does nothing. It seems weird but that is my situation.
All in all thanks for the advice. I'll keep looking for those other workaround, in case I found something thatcan help me.
Here it is. This advice has been posted many times though.
1. Create a temporary directory on your server.
2. Copy the entire contents of the Oracle RDBMS Server CD
to the temporary directory created in step 1.
3. Search the directory structure created in Step 1 for the
existence of the filename symcjit.dll.
4. Rename each copy of the symcjit.dll to symcjit.old.
5. go to the INSTALL folder and edit the file named
oraparam.ini( oracle817\install\oraparam.ini)
6. open this file and edit from
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-mx96m
To:
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit –mx96m
7. Run the ./runInstaller and install Oracle 8.1.x and related products.
