Hi there,

I got problem when installing the Oracle 9iAS Infrastructure Release 2
(9.0.2.0.1) on a Windows 2000 server (SP4). The installation process was fine
till running to the configuration part, I got the following configuration tools
errors:

Infrastructure Instance Configuration Assistant
Oracle 9i Application Server randomize Password
Single Sign-On Configuration Assistant
Infrastructure mod_osso Configuration Assistant
OC4J Instance Configuration Assistant
OPMN Configuration Assistant - start HTTP Server
OPMN Configuration Assistant - start DAS Instance

I have searched on Google and Oracle and cannot have a clue. Although there is a
lot of documentation about the 9iAS, no much of them is about the installation
process. Below is the log (infratool_instance_jazn.log) from the 'Infrastructure
Instance Configuration Assistant':

Configuration failed for IAS
IAS Instance creation failed
Configuration failed for JAZN
JAZN configuration failed: unable to establish a directory context.
Configuration succeeded for IASProperty
Configuration failed for IAS
Configuration failed for JAZN

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

on otn.oracle.com there is excellent documentation for IAS - including
the installation process....
If you got the media kit, it even gives you a link to a website with
installation tutorials - it gives you step by step instruction.


Below is the log (infratool_instance_jazn.log)
oracle recommends the infrastructure and database be installed on
seperate servers. It is possible to install on same, but you have to
change the default port for the net client from 1521 to something else
for the base install...these details are in the documentation


You don't say in your message if you installed on 2 machines or 1
machine...it sounds like you installed on one machine....

Thanks phenox1t!

I have read the Installation Guide for Sun SPARC Solaris (I couldn't find the
one for Windows...), the installation steps shown in the doc are quite similar
to the Windows version, but I think I may miss some pre-install steps in my
previous installation.

I was trying to install the 9i Database, 9iAS Infrastructure and the 9iAS on the
same server (due to the limited resource). I had installed the database
successfully, and now trying to install the Infrastructure.

I read from the Installation Guide for Sun SPARC Solaris (section 2.5.6.1):
"- If you have an existing application using port 1521, then reconfigure the
existing application to use another port."
"- If you have an existing Oracle Net listener and an Oracle9i database, then
proceed with the installation of Oracle9iAS Infrastructure. Your Oracle9iAS
Infrastructure will use the existing Oracle Net listener."
"- If you have and existing Net8 listener in use by an Oracle8i database, then
you must upgrade to the Oracle9i Net listener version by installing Oracle9iAS
Infrastructure."

My understanding is that I do not need to do anything for the port 1521, because
I use 9i database. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, I use 1 server for 9i database, 9iAS Infrastructure and 9iAS.

You can use the 9i database listener, but you must stop it when installing
Infrastructure.
There is a RDA (Remote Diagnostic Agent) Utility at Metalink
that gathers information about the host environment and reports warnings.

It's usually a good idea to use different Oralce Homes for the various parts
of 9iAS. We've got the infrastructure in one and the Portal in another,

There are "installation cookbooks" available on metalink for various

Also, see forums on otn.oracle.com - lots of information there as well.

Thanks very much to everyone that response to my questions. I had missed the
discussion forums at OTN and I think I can get some useful information there.

The documentation for Windows is also there (at OTN):
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs...73_05/docs.htm

It was so weird that I did not see them... I have the CD Pack in hand, but there
is no installation guide in the 'Documentation Library CD-ROM'...

Thanks again!

P.S. One more question: How to get the document with the document number? The
search function at OTN did not find anything if I just type in the document
number. Do I need to have the Metalink account to access this document?

eric,

i am facing exactly the same problem as yours. my machine
specifications also are same, except that i've sp3 installed.
i have installed only the infrastructure yet, so the issue of
installing in one system or more is irrelevent.
if your problem is solved, kindly guide me, how should i proceed with
the installation. i'l be obliged for the help.

or some suggestion please help me.
