OpenJDK JVM not supported while installing Oracle Fusion Middleware on Linux 7

Leave a comment

Various software releases will sometimes have incompatibility because the two products were released or tested at about the same time. This is the cause of Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.0.0 (FMW 12c) and
Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.2 (OEL 7). FMW 12c was thoroughly tested against OEL 6, but due to its release date collision with OEL 7, there are some validation which fail checks during the install. Resulting in the
error below:

[oracle@linux1 STAGE]$ java -Djava.io.tmpdir=/u04/tmp -jar fmw_12.2.1.1.0_infrastructure.jar -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs -responseFile /u01/STAGE/fmw.rsp
Launcher log file is /u04/tmp/OraInstall2017-07-13_08-41-06AM/launcher2017-07-13_08-41-06AM.log.

The OpenJDK JVM is not supported on this platform.
The log is located here: /u04/tmp/OraInstall2017-07-13_08-41-06AM/launcher2017-07-13_08-41-06AM.log.
[oracle@linux1 STAGE]$

This error is a result of FMW 12c being testing against OEL 6 with JDK 1.7, but the default JDK for OEL 7 is JDK 1.8. This article outlines a procedure to resolve this error and proceed with installation
of Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.0.0 on OEL 7 or any Linux 7 distribution.

1. Logon to OEL 7 server as the root user.

2. Determine current JAVA installed with command: java -version

[root@linux2 ~]# java -version
openjdk version “1.8.0_65”
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_65-b17)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.65-b01, mixed mode)
[root@linux2 ~]#

We will install an alternative JDK for use of FMW with one we know works, in this case that JDK is 1.7.0_79.

3. Move to a directory to install the alternative JDK. In this case we will use /opt with command: cd /opt

[root@linux2 ~]# cd /opt
[root@linux2 opt]#

4. Download the JDK 1.7.0_79 with wget command: wget –no-check-certificate –no-cookies –header “Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie” “http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u79-b15/jdk-7u79-linux-x64.tar.gz” “http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u79-b15/jdk-7u79-linux-i586.tar.gz”

WARNING: ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

 

Apr 7, 2014 4:31:36 PM oracle.sysman.emcp.EMConfig perform

SEVERE:

 

Database connection through listener failed. Fix the error and run EM Configuration Assistant again.

 

Some of the possible reasons may be:

 

1) Listener port 1521 provided is incorrect. Provide the correct port.

2) Listener is not up. Start the Listener.

3) Database service ORCL is not registered with listener. Register the database service.

4) Listener is up on physical host and ORACLE_HOSTNAME environment variable is set to virtual host. Unset ORACLE_HOSTNAME environment variable.

5) Listener is up on virtual host. Set environment variable ORACLE_HOSTNAME=<virtual host>.

6) /etc/hosts does not have correct entry for hostname.

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

 

 

Solution:

 

1.  Validate listener port is 1521 with command “netstat -tulpn|grep 1521”:

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ netstat -tulpn|grep 1521

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info

will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.120:1521           0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      10883/tnslsnr

udp        0      0 :::15212                    :::*                                    1831/ora_p025_ORCL

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

NOTE:  Oracle is listening on port 1521 with process 10883/tnslsnr.   If the oracle listener is not on port 1521, open the file listener.ora to determine the correct port.

 

 

2. Validate that the Listener is up with command “ps -ef|grep tns”:

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ ps -ef|grep tns

root        90     2  0 Apr01 ?        00:00:00 [netns]

oracle   10883     1  0 Apr01 ?        00:03:54 /opt/app/oracle/ORCL_db/bin/tnslsnr LISTENER -inherit

oracle   21669 20714  0 16:45 pts/0    00:00:00 grep tns

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

NOTE:  The listener is up with process id of 10883.   If the listener is not running, start the listener with command: “lsnrctl start”

 

3. Verify that the Database service ORCL is registered with listener by using the command “tnsping ORCL”:

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ tnsping ORCL

TNS Ping Utility for Linux: Version 11.2.0.3.0 – Production on 07-Apr-2014 16:47:16

Copyright (c) 1997, 2011, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

 

Used parameter files:

/opt/app/oracle/ORCL_db/network/admin/sqlnet.ora

 

 

Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias

Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.1.120)(PORT = 1521))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) (SID = ORCL)))

OK (200 msec)

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

NOTE:  The ORCL service is register with the listener.  If it is not, edit the file listener.ora to add the service.

 

 

4. Verify that ORACLE_HOSTNAME is set with command “echo $ORACLE_HOSTNAME”:

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_HOSTNAME

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

 

NOTE:  the ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable is not set, set the ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable with the command “export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=mylinux1”   NOTE: place this variable in your bash startup profile.

 

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=mylinux1

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ echo $ORACLE_HOSTNAME

mylinux1

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

5. Same as step 4 but using virtual hostname.

 

6. Verify that the file /etc/hosts contains the hostname of current system with command “cat /etc/hosts”

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 mylinux1 mylinux1.mydomain.com

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 mylinux1 mylinux1.mydomain.com

192.168.1.120    mylinux1 mylinux1.mydomain.com

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$

 

 

NOTE: The hostname is in the /etc/hosts file.   But if it is not edit the file /etc/hosts.

 

7.  Re-execute the EMCA command for successful completion:

 

 

[oracle@mylinux1 ~]$ emca -repos create

Error during the creation of new oracle database

ERROR: ORA-06553: PLS-213: package STANDARD not accessible

This error is due to the standard package not being accessible, even though the database says it is created.  The database will be unusable until resolved.

Solution:

Execute the following scripts catalog.sql, catproc.sql, and utlrp.sql.

@?\rdbms\admin\catalog.sql

@?\rdbms\admin\catproc.sql

@?\rdbms\admin\utlrp.sql
