To obtain the operating system patches, go to the operating system vendor web site and follow instructions provided with the patch to apply the patches.
To obtain the patches for all Oracle products, visit http://www.oracle.com/support/metalink
and follow the instructions provided with the patch to apply the patch.
The following sections describe restrictions for Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration and the Certified Configuration Management Pack.
The following sections provide explanations on restrictions specific to the Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration.
On SuSe Linux, set the YP domain to DNS domain:
/etc/rc.config
file. Locate the YP_DOMAINNAME
key and set the appropriate value for it.
You should perform these steps before running the Rapid Configurator Tool as part of the operating system configuration.
Some components of Oracle9i Application Server like Oracle Internet File System (iFS) and Reports Server require X server, which is installed as part of the OS. To provide access to the components that use X server, you must run the following server access control program as the root
user:
# /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost +
If you configured Database Cache manually from the server, you must run a script to update the server registry with the database cache configuration status. This enables OEM to reflect the appropriate status when you select the Database Cache node.
The script is as follows:
/usr/local/oracle/sysmgmt/ias/services/bin/setdbcache_registry.sh \ <configuration status> <tnsconnect string>
<
configuration status>
can have one of the following values, depending upon the Database Cache configuration status:
<
tnsconnect string>
should have the connect string to connect to origin database in format hostname:portno:sid
, where:
hostname
: is the server name where origin database is located
portno
: is the port number where the listener is listening
sid
: is the instance ID of the origin database.
The following sections provide information on restrictions specific to the Certified Configuration Management Pack.
The iFS, OC4J, and OC4J Load Balancer nodes under the Resources>Processes folder display the following message:
Feature not implemented in this release
These process groups are primarily Java/JRE processes. Use the operating system ps
command to view these processes.
Although Database Cache appears as a database in OEM, do not perform any database operations on it. Use Cache Manager to perform any operations on Database Cache.
You must generate private keys, submit certificate requests, and upload certificates for Apache using Certified Configuration Management Pack. This is a requirement because some parameters are stored in the system registry on the server which the Apache startup scripts use.
Performing these tasks without using the Certified Configuration Management Pack will not update the system registry with these parameters. This will cause failures during Apache startup.
The following lists restrictions related to the ADS Packager:
Do not use special character for these names.
This section covers known bugs in Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration and the Oracle Certified Configuration Management Pack. The following tables list the bugs by process or component and provides a work around, if one is available:
Table 1, "Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration Server"
Table 2, "Certified Configuration Management Pack"
The following sections describe corrections to Oracle9i Application Server Certified Configuration specific documentation.

Section 6, Reinstalling Oracle9iAS Certified Configuration Server contains two sub sections.
The first bullet point and the heading on page 6-2 should state Reinstalling only Oracle 9iAS CC. These instructions provide reinstallation instructions for customers who need to reinstall Oracle9iAS Certified Configuration software specifically on a Oracle9iAS Certified Configuration machine.
On page 6-2, step 2, the first command line is missing. Run the following commands to remove the previous Oracle9iAS Certified Configuration software:
# /usr/local/oracle/sysmgmt/common/install/sysmgmt_disable.sh # rm -rf /oracle/* /usr/local/oracle/* /etc/rc.oracle # (cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d; rm -f S99*; rm -f K01ias; rm -f K01ads) # (cd /etc/rc.d/rc5.d; rm -f S99*; rm -f K01ias; rm -f K01ads)
The following table corrects the partition table in Chapter 6:
Use the following instructions to install the RPM version of JDK 1.3.1:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html
root
user.
chmod a+x j2sdk-1_3_1_01-linux-i386-rpm.bin
file:
# chmod a+x j2sdk-1_3_1_01-linux-i386-rpm.bin # ./j2sdk-1_3_1_01-linux-i386-rpm.bin
jdk-1.3.1.i386.rpm
file in the current directory.
rpm
command to install the packages:
# rpm -iv jdk-1.3.1_01.i386.rpm
This installs Java 2 SDK in the /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01
directory.
# ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01 /usr/java/jdk1.3.1
For detailed instructions, refer to the J2SE installation instructions found at the following Sun Microsystems Web site:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download-linux.html
The preconfiguration instructions on resetting parameters for iFS is under the Database Cache section on page 3-18. Please perform these instructions before you configure iFS.
In order for you to configure iFS, you must install and configure interMedia Text.
