Hi All,

Today while performing manual migration of the database to 10gr2 we encountered the following error while trying to run catupgrd.sql script as shown below

SQL> spool upgrade.log
SQL> @catupgrd.sql
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning “catupgrd.s…” – rest of line ignored

Later on we discovered that error was due to OS which was unix and following line needs to be added to the .profile of the oracle to solve the problem

   if [ “$TERM” = “” ]
        then
                eval ` tset -s -Q -m ‘:?hp’ `
        else
                eval ` tset -s -Q `
        fi
        stty erase “^H” kill “^U” intr “^C” eof “^D”
        stty hupcl ixon ixoff
        tabs

Alternatively we could solve the problem by typing the following command

$stty kill Ctrl-u

$sqlplus

 SQL> spool upgrade.log
SQL> @catupgrd.sql

The stty kill Ctrl-U solved the problem. 

 

Hi All,

Today One of my collegue had gone to install Oracle 9.2.0.4 on linux x86-64bit on AMD 64 bit. But to his suprise the OUI hanged when copying a file naeet.o

when the installation was only 17% over. Later if found that it was a bug with 9204 OUI on linux x86-64 on amd 64.

So the workaround for that is to set an environment variable called

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.21 before running the runInstaller script.

$LD_ASSUME_KERNEL = 2.4.21

$export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

$./runInstaller

After setting the above variable the installation went through but it started

giving make file errors during relinking.

So to solve that problem we opened a new terminel where environment variable

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was not set and

we tried to relink the oracle binaries as shown

$echo $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

$cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin

$relink all

and there was no error found when manually relinking the oracle binaries and

the installation went through sucessfully.

Later when we applied the 9207 patch we followed the same above procedure

and 9207 patch was also applied sucessfully.

Also it is advisable to check all the pre requistes as given in metalink Docs.

Alternatively the above error can also be solved by invoking the OUI of 9206

and using the product.jar of 9204 to install 9204.
