0. Preface

This HOWTO applies to OAS 3.0 for Linux. There're currently 2 known problems in running OAS.

1. Installing a Linux environment

I assume you already have Oracle8 installed, so that you have the appropriate packages. The problem with OAS is that it depends on the behavior of the Linux ps(1). Since /proc is not emulated under FreeBSD, I ported procps to FreeBSD. The port can be found here. Note that the port is anything but complete, but suffices for the moment. Also note that it is not formatted to be included in the FreeBSD ports collection. Maybe that's going to happen in the future...

2. Updating the Oracle environment

In this paragraph I assume you'll run OAS from the Oracle account. In production environments, you probably don't want to do that, because everyone who has access to the server, automaticly has DBA privileges!

Make sure you have set the following environment variables:

ORAWEB_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME/ows/3.0; export ORAWEB_HOME
ORAWEB_SITE=scones; export ORAWEB_SITE
ORAWEB_ADMIN=/oracle/admin; export ORAWEB_ADMIN
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/oracle/ows/3.0/lib:/oracle/ows/3.0/omx/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$PATH:$ORAWEB_HOME/bin; export PATH
MANPATH=${MANPATH}:/oracle/ows/3.0/omx/man; export MANPATH

3. Patches

There are four patches to be applied. Three of them must be applied before installation. The last one, when applied, must be applied after installation.

3.1 Pre-install patches

When you want to install from CD, you can't apply the patches directly. You'll have to copy the CD contents to disk first. In the root of the OAS tree, apply the following patches:

*** ows/3.0/install/lstnr.ins~ Tue Sep 29 22:22:53 1998
--- ows/3.0/install/lstnr.ins Sun Dec 27 23:35:01 1998
***************
*** 1069,1074 ****
--- 1069,1075 ----
}
ows_sol_rel=4;
+ solaris_rel=5;

if (solaris_rel > ows_sol_rel)
Start_Server=false;

*** ows/3.0/install/wrb.ins~ Tue Jun 30 02:12:36 1998
--- ows/3.0/install/wrb.ins Sun Dec 27 23:39:07 1998
***************
*** 1204,1209 ****
--- 1204,1210 ----
}
ows_sol_rel=4;
+ solaris_rel=5;

if (solaris_rel > ows_sol_rel)
Start_Server=false;

*** ows/3.0/install/ows.ins~ Tue Jun 30 02:12:32 1998
--- ows/3.0/install/ows.ins Sun Dec 27 23:43:02 1998
***************
*** 431,436 ****
--- 431,437 ----
}
ows_sol_rel=4;
+ solaris_rel=5;

if (solaris_rel > ows_sol_rel)
Start_Server=false;

After applying the patches, you can install the product.

3.2 Post-install patches

After installation, you can apply the following patch:

*** owsctl.orig Wed Dec 30 14:55:28 1998
--- owsctl Wed Dec 30 14:56:17 1998
***************
*** 224,233 ****
OPTION="$1" # save the option
shift
! if [ "$1" = "WRB" -o "$1" = "wrb" -o "$1" = "-p" -o "$1" = "-e" -o "$1"
= "NCX" -o "$1" = "ncx" ]
then
$CONTROLPATH/wrbctl $OPTION $@
! elif [ "$1" = "CARTRIDGE" -o "$1" = "cartridge" -o "$1" = "-p" ]
then
$CONTROLPATH/wrbctl $OPTION $@
else
--- 224,233 ----

OPTION="$1" # save the option
shift
! if [ "x$1" = "xWRB" -o "x$1" = "xwrb" -o "x$1" = "x-p" -o "x$1" = "x-e"
-o "x$1" = "xNCX" -o "x$1" = "xncx" ]
then
$CONTROLPATH/wrbctl $OPTION $@
! elif [ "x$1" = "xCARTRIDGE" -o "x$1" = "xcartridge" -o "x$1" = "x-p" ]
then
$CONTROLPATH/wrbctl $OPTION $@
else

The patch is optional in that owsctl does work without it, but generates some annoying errors.

4. Known problems

When an instance of a listener (oraweb) terminates, it sometimes coredumps. The cause has not been investigated yet.
Oraweb leaves a lot of zombies. This may be related to the previous bullet.
