libclntsh error

digitaleagle Server Administration, Uncategorized Leave a comment

I had an error with data mover:

[pshr@localhost ~]$ psdmtx -CT ORACLE -CD HRDMO -CO SYSADM -CP SYSADM -CI PEOPLE -CW PEOP1E -FP ~/test.dms
PeopleTools 8.49 - Data Mover

dlopen in libpscompat failed for ‘libpsora.so’: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
PSDMTX Error: signon
Reason: Could not sign on to database HRDMO with user SYSADM.

The fix was to create a symbolic link:

[pshr@localhost ~]$ cd /home/pshr/app/pshr/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib
[pshr@localhost lib]$ ln -s libclntsh.so libclntsh.so.9.0

Yum with Oracle DVD

digitaleagle Server Administration, Uncategorized Leave a comment

I found a great link showing how to use the Oracle Linux DVD as a repository for yum.  Although the post mentions using the DVD, you could probably setup 6 repositories with the 6 CDs to make it would for the CDs too.

Having Yum is very powerful because it figures out the prerequisites for installing software.  That is one thing I definitely miss as I am working with Unbreakable Linux.  I think next time I might try Ubuntu or Fedora just for experimenting around because the repositories are already setup and software installation is easier.

Customer Connection

Customer Connection is set to migrate to MetaLink3 not this weekend but the next.  Currently, you should be logging into the new MetaLink3 and making sure that you have access.  That way you are ready for the change.

Change is always exciting, and I am hoping that this new site provides users an easier-to-use interface.  I always had trouble searching through the old Customer Connection.  Currently, it is hard to tell because none of the customer connection information exists in the new system.

I haven’t read all of the documentation yet, and so, I probably shouldn’t be commenting yet, but I first thought that Oracle was combining MetaLink and Customer Connection.  But, why do we have two separate systems?  From what I can tell, I will have to access MetaLink for my Oracle patches and MetaLink3 for PeopleSoft patches.

Another thing I found funny was that the Customer Connection Login page does not have a note or warning about the change.  Since the change is only a couple of weeks away, I would have thought I would see something reminding me.

I did find a thread going for comments on the changes.  Please share your comments.

SQL Server Take Offline

digitaleagle Server Administration, Uncategorized Leave a comment

We had an issue with taking a SQL database offline, and we found that the SQL allowed more control for rolling back in-progress transactions.  Here is the article that listed the SQL.

I think our problem had something to do with the SQL Agent.  We ended up having to kill the process that was accessing the database, and I am pretty sure it was a SQL Agent process.  Then, the database went offline, and we able to restore it.

This is a continuation of my virtual PeopleSoft installation.  In this step, we will install Wine, a windows emulator that allows Linux users to run Windows-only programs.  To see the complete list of posts, click here.

I apologize about the images.  I tried to back them up, and I just found out that they did not backup properly.  I have tried to take some after the fact.
