Release 2 (9.0.2) for Windows and UNIX
April 2002
Part No. A96128-01
This document summarizes differences between Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 (9.0.2) and its documented functionality.
For recent updates to the release notes and other documentation, please visit Oracle Technology Network at
This document is divided into the following parts:

Note:
|
Oracle9i Developer Suite (Oracle9iDS) is formerly Oracle Internet Developer Suite.
For Windows, the components in Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 are:
Note that Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 is not supported on Windows 95/98/ME.
For UNIX, the components in Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 are:
Note that Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 is supported on the Sun Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux Intel operating environments.
You can access the most recent certification information at
This section is divided into the following parts:
If you encounter a Windows System Files error while installing Oracle9iDS on Windows NT, click OK to close the error dialog, then use the following instructions to run the Windows System Files installation. You cannot proceed with the Oracle9iDS installation on Windows NT if you do not run the Windows System Files installation first.
To run the Windows System Files installation:
wsf.exe.
The Windows System Files installation proceeds, followed by a system reboot.
Additional information about the Windows System Files installation is provided in the Oracle9i Developer Suite Installation Guide.
On UNIX platforms, a warning message appears while running the script root.sh. You may ignore the message.
This problem occurs on Windows platforms only. When installing the Business Intelligence, Rapid Application Development, or Complete option, the Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (NetCA) fails to run. Installation proceeds successfully even though NetCA fails to run. NetCA may be manually run from the Start Menu after the installation completes.
Follow these instructions to run NetCA manually:
Start -> Programs-> Oracle - ORACLE_HOME -> Configuration and Migration Tools -> Net Configuration Assistant
Some configurations of virus protection programs may cause slow performance during installation. As an option for a faster install, turn off your virus protection program before installing Oracle9iDS.
For Windows and Solaris users, you can either copy the files from the documentation library CD-ROM to your system, or use the Oracle Universal Installer on the Oracle9i Developer Suite Disk 1 CD-ROM to install the files.
For HP-UX and Linux users, copy the files from the documentation library CD-ROM to your system.
The instructions for installing the Oracle9i Developer Suite Documentation Library are provided in the Oracle9i Developer Suite Installation Guide.
Oracle Universal Installer does not deinstall all the files and directories during deinstallation. You must manually remove any remaining files and directories in ORACLE_HOME. For more information about deinstallation, see the Oracle9i Developer Suite Installation Guide.
When running JDeveloper from jdev.exe (instead of jdevw.exe), you will see some ClassCastException errors in the debug console. These errors do not affect the functionalities of the Reports addins.
The online help system fails to start and generates an error (FRM-18105) for Japanese installations of Forms Developer on all operating systems. The reason is because one online help file is installed to the wrong directory.
To fix this error:
ORACLE_HOME/forms90/doc/JA and locate the fmhelp.jar file.
ORACLE_HOME/forms90/doc/JA/fmdevhelp directory.
If the ORACLE_HOME has a long name (that is, the total directory name that makes up ORACLE_HOME is greater than or equal to 40 characters), there will be some problems in running Forms Builder. Help will not come up, the debugger won't work, and the builder will crash if you try to bring up the code editor to modify or create a trigger or a program unit. You can avoid this problem by making sure your ORACLE_HOME is shorter than 40 characters. Alternatively, the workaround is to edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/f90desm.sh by adding the following two lines after the line where FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH is set:
When the FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH exceeds 511 characters, Forms Developer has a JVM dump when trying to create a trigger or a program unit. The workaround is to set CLASSPATH=$FORMS90_BUILDER_CLASSPATH, either in the f90desm.sh script or at the command line.
Forms Developer currently provides a command line migration tool for migrating your Forms6i applications to Forms9i. A migration wizard and the accompanying documentation will be made available on OTN at a later date.
When performing a Find/Replace operation in the Web Source view of the Report Editor and running in an Asian language (for example, Japanese) on Windows, the Reports Builder crashes. This problem does not occur on UNIX platforms.
When you run a report which has Oracle6i Graphics embedded in it, you may get the following error:
REP-1811: Error while generating graph. SSL fatal error: Cannot execute g90runm.
If this happens, you need to create a link from g90runm to g90runm.sh in your $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
ln -s g90runm.sh g90runm
Note that you also need to specify the path of your Oracle6i home in the ORACLE_GRAPHICS6I_HOME variable in g90runm.sh and ensure that your Oracle6i home is in that path.
After installation, the Reports Server instance is not accessible from Oracle Enterprise Manager. The reason for this problem is that the password set for the reports target is not the Oracle9iAS admin password.
To fix this problem, do the following:
$ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml.
oracle_repserv. The target definition will contain a property for Password, for example:
<Property NAME="Password" VALUE="3f769c1e7cfd7411" ENCRYPTED="TRUE"/>
<Property NAME="Password" VALUE="adminpasswd" ENCRYPTED="FALSE"/>
# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop # $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start
Oracle Enterprise Manager will automatically encrypt the password and set the ENCRYPTED flag to TRUE.
When it is being run in secure mode, the Reports Server cannot be shut down from Oracle Enterprise Manager. In this case, you need to shut down the Reports Server from the Reports Server dialog box or kill the process.
The following is additional support provided by Oracle9i XML Developer's Kits (XDKs) Release 1 (9.0.1):
This following lists additional support and options provided by Oracle9i XML Developer's Kits (XDKs) Release 1 (9.0.1):
XSLT Processor for Java is now threadsafe.
Updated versions of Chapters 5 and 6 of Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - XML Release 1 (9.0.1) are available from OTN at
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/doc.html
This section contains information for users who require Windows assistive technologies such as screen readers to work with Java-based applications and applets.
When Oracle9i Developer Suite Disk 1 is inserted into the CD-ROM drive, the autorun window displays if your system supports the autorun feature. To disable the autorun window, hold down the Shift key after inserting the CD-ROM. Alternatively, if the autorun window appears, press ALT-F4 to close the window. Then do one of the following:
setup.exe in the root directory of the CD-ROM. Start the installer by launching the setup.exe program.
\doc\ids902welcome\index.htm on the CD-ROM.
Run access_setup.bat before starting your screen reader.
The file access_setup.bat is located in the directory \install\win32 of the Oracle9i Developer Suite CD-ROM labelled Disk 1.
For Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (NetCA) to be accessible, you must install the production version of Java Access bridge 1.0.2 into the JRE 1.1.8 location on your system.
If NetCA is automatically invoked during installation, cancel the dialog by pressing ALT-F4. Then exit the installer. This does not affect the Oracle9iDS installation; it only stops the NetCA tool.
Follow these instructions before starting NetCA:
ORACLE_OEM_CLASSPATH=D:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\lib\access-bridge.jar;D:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\lib\jaccess.jar
(assuming "D:\Program Files" is the location of your Program Files directory).
Start -> Programs-> Oracle - ORACLE_HOME -> Configuration and Migration Tools -> Net Configuration Assistant
After installing Oracle9iDS, follow these steps to ensure that Warehouse Builder programs are accessible:
%ORACLE_HOME%\owb\lib\ext\jre.
For instructions on how to install Java Access Bridge, see the Oracle9i Developer Suite Installation Guide.
If the Java Access Bridge installer does not automatically detect the JRE 1.3 location in %ORACLE_HOME%\owb\lib\ext\jre, follow these steps to perform the installation manually:
JRE1.3.1\lib\accessibility.properties to %ORACLE_HOME%\owb\lib\ext\jre\lib.
JRE1.3.1\lib\ext\access-bridge.jar to %ORACLE_HOME%\owb\lib\ext\jre\lib\ext.
JRE1.3.1\lib\ext\jaccess.jar to %ORACLE_HOME%\owb\lib\ext\jre\lib\ext.
