Anyone installed Optivity 10 on Windows yet ? I have Win2k server, Server resource kit and SP3 loaded. Have also loaded NNM6.3.1. Am trying to Load Optivity database installer , however once the Optivity installer finishes it doesnt start the Oracle installer ? I tried starting this manually - nothing happens. I have installed Oracle before no problems. Anyone else seen the same issue ?
 
I had the very same problem. I think it's an incompatibility with the P4 processors. I eventually used a P3 server and the Oracle installer starts no problem.
No mention of it on the Nortel website but i did find this:-

"EMEA PNB ] SHASTA: SCS Client will not work on Pentium 4 PCs until JRE is replaced with a version compatible with the proce ...".

Optivity 10 ( well the Oracle part) uses JRE so seems a bit of a coincidence. I keep meaning to raise a fault call with Nortel about it but since i got it working on a few P3s now i have had a thousand other things more urgent - maybe tomorrow!



 
Here is the fix from Oracle

If you are installing into Windows* 2000, one workaround recommendation by Oracle for this problem is:

Install the latest Windows* 2000 Service Pack patch:
Create a temporary directory on your Intel Pentium® 4 processor server (e.g. \TEMP).

Copy the contents of the Oracle* Server CD to the temporary directory created in step 2.

Search the directory structure created in step 2 for the existence of the filename SYMCJIT.DLL.

Rename each copy of the SYMCJIT.DLL to SYMCJIT.OLD.

Run the SETUP.EXE from the \TEMP\install\win32 directory and install Oracle 8.1.x.
 
That's good news. Can you let me know if it works - so i can retrieve my P4 from the store cupboard. Optivity 10 needs as much processing power and memory as it can get!!

 
yes it works... you need to run it as a silent install, using the tw_custom_install.rsp file in the response directory using the following command... c:\temp\install\win32\setup.exe -silent -responseFile c:\temp\tw_custom_install.rsp

make sure u check the rsp file is going to create directories in the correct partition for you..

then watch task manager to see when the job has finished (took about 10 mins on mine) . It should then start up alll the oracle stuff

then u can load Optivity 10 !! good luck

 
1. Copy the Oracle CDROM 1 for ONMS as per your wish in to any directory on your hard disk.Make sure there is no space in any of the folder names in this path.

2. Inside this folder cd to Oracle8.1.7_NT_image folder that has the oracle image.
3. Search for all copies of the 'symcjit.dll' file, and rename them to
symcjit.old'.
4. Go to the \install under Oracle8.1.7_NT_image directory and open the 'oraparam.ini' file for editing.
5. Please note this file is write-protected. so remove this attribute from GUI or using attrib -r <filename> command.

6. Change the JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS parameter to

JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m

7. Save the oraparam.ini file.

8. go back to the folder above Oracle8.1.7_NT_image and start setup.exe ro run Oracle Database Installer.
