# 2 Installation and Upgrade Issues

This chapter describes installation and upgrade issues and their workarounds associated with Oracle Application Server. It includes the following topics:

- Section 2.1, "Installation Issues"

- Section 2.2, "Upgrade Issues"

## 2.1 Installation Issues

This section describes issues with installation of Oracle Application Server. It includes the following topics:

- Section 2.1.1, "Set Kernel Parameter Prior to Installation of Oracle HTTP Server on Red Hat Linux 4.0"

- Section 2.1.2, "Japanese Fonts Not Displayed Correctly on the Title of Oracle Universal Installer Help Screens on SUSE Linux"

- Section 2.1.3, "Some Languages Not Displayed Correctly on JDK"

### 2.1.1 Set Kernel Parameter Prior to Installation of Oracle HTTP Server on Red Hat Linux 4.0

Prior to installation of Oracle HTTP Server as part of an Oracle Application Server installation on Red Hat Linux 4.0, set the following kernel parameter:

`file-max >= 131072`

Failure to set the preceding parameter may result in an error in installation of Oracle Application Server.

### 2.1.2 Japanese Fonts Not Displayed Correctly on the Title of Oracle Universal Installer Help Screens on SUSE Linux

When you install Oracle Application Server within a `ja_JP` locale on SUSE Linux, the titles of all Oracle Universal Installer windows, including Help windows, include garbled fonts (for example,'%9%H$'). However, the fonts displayed on the content of the Oracle Universal Installer are displayed correctly.

According to release notes for Java Developer Kit (JDK) 1.4.2 posted on the Sun Microsystems Java Web site (`http://java.sun.com`), JDK 1.4.2 does not provide support for east-asian languages including Japanese on SUSE Linux.

### 2.1.3 Some Languages Not Displayed Correctly on JDK

Some languages might not be displayed correctly with Sun Microsystems JDK on SLES9.

You can refer to the following Sun Microsystems Web pages to see what languages are supported by the Sun Microsystems' JDK:

## 2.2 Upgrade Issues

This section describes issues with upgrade of Oracle Application Server. It includes the following topic:

- Section 2.2.1, "Additional Data Source Requirement for OEMS JMS Database Applications"

### 2.2.1 Additional Data Source Requirement for OEMS JMS Database Applications

If you are deploying an OEMS JMS Database application on Oracle Application Server 10g Release (10.1.3), note that you must verify that the manage-local-transactions attribute in the data-sources.xml file is set to false.

The following example shows the managed-data-source element in the data-sources.xml file with the required attribute for OEMS JMS Database applications:

    <managed-data-source name="OracleDS" connection-pool-name="Example
    Connection Pool" jndi-name="jdbc/OracleDS" *manage-local-transactions="false"*/>.
