4.1 General Issues and Workarounds

This section describes the general issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topics:

• Section 4.1.1, "Recommended Character Set"

• Section 4.1.2, "Do Not Replace the ORACLE_HOME Value in the httpd.conf File"

• Section 4.1.3, "Installer and Graphical Components Cannot Properly Display Korean or Chinese Fonts"

4.1.1 Recommended Character Set

When choosing component identification names in Oracle Enterprise Manager or for dcmctl, you should choose from the following character set:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-_.

4.1.2 Do Not Replace the ORACLE_HOME Value in the httpd.conf File

If you have an Oracle Application Server installation in /home/your_directory/orahome and it contains a link to /private/your_directory, the files in ORACLE_HOME are accessible from either /home/your_directory/orahome or /private/your_directory/orahome. Following installation, the ORACLE_HOME is located in /home/your_directory/orahome and the httpd.conf file contains the following line of code:

include /home/your_directory/orahome/Apache/Apache/conf/dms.conf

Do not replace the ORACLE_HOME indicated with another link or absolute path.

4.1.3 Installer and Graphical Components Cannot Properly Display Korean or Chinese Fonts

The installer and graphical components of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) on Linux cannot properly display Korean or Chinese fonts.

For the installer and Application Server components display Korean and Chinese fonts properly, you must install J2SE 1.4.2_04 (or higher) when it becomes available . Application Server components will need to be configured to use the J2SE 1.4.2_04 installation in place of the existing copy of J2SE included with Application Server.

To set up the installer to use J2SE 1.4.2_04:

1. Copy the install/linux/oraparam.ini file from the Application Server installation media to a directory on your system. In this procedure it is assumed that you have copied the oraparam.ini file to the /home/oracle directory.

2. Make the oraparam.ini file writable:

   $ chmod +w oraparam.ini
   
   

3. Edit the oraparam.ini file using a text editor.
   1. Locate the following line:

      JRE_LOCATION=../../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.4.1.5.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded
      
       
      
      

   2. Modify this line to refer to the location where you have installed
      J2SE 1.4.2_04, for example:

      JRE_LOCATION=/home/oracle/j2re1.4.2_04
      
      

$ /mount_point/runInstaller -paramFile /home/oracle/oraparam.ini
