Red Hat Linux for S/390 Oracle9i Enterprise Edition, Release 1 (9.0.1) - Developer's Release -

Introduction

In November 2001 Oracle released the developer's release of Oracle9i Enterprise Edition for Linux for S/390.  To quote from the release notes:

   This is the developer's release of Oracle server 9.0.1 bundle for
   Linux S/390. Please note that this is not a production release of
   Oracle Server and as such, very few regressions of test cases are run
   against this. Also, not all products that are included in bundle have
   been tested. There are some limitations with this. Especially
   following pieces are *NOT* included in the bundle:
     * Javavm and other Java related products
     * Cartridges
     * Oracle Universal Installer
     * Documentation of any sort

Procedure for Installation:

• Download the Oracle package, or mount the media so that the Oracle package is available.
• Extract the archive.
• Read through the release notes, available online at:   http://www.oracle.com/start/ibm/linux390/intro.html
• Follow instructions in release notes;  remeber to, once the oracle user account w/ GID 500 has been created, become the oracle user to install.
• Given a bug in the installation process supplied by Oracle, before running the commands:

        % cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
        % make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle

edit $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/nmliblist and change "/fs3/tarball/rdbms/lib/skgxns.o" to "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/skgxns.o". For example, if your "ORACLE_HOME" is /oracle/ora901, change to "/oracle/ora901/rdbms/lib/skgxns.o".
