Oracle 10g upgrade from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4.. Screen is not Coming....

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am facing one silly problem but not able to solve it.

I am doing Oracle patch upgrade 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4 over HP-UX (IA64).I am using xmanager to do all installation activities over Server.after setting DISPLAY variable (setenv DISPLAY=10.11.0.251:0.0).

commands as a preparation to upgrade Oracle: ./runInstaller

Now, The Problem is that, i have started the ./RUNINSTALLER...but its not giving OUI screen since long time. "All Installer Requirements met" message is there while starting RUNINSTALLER .. . Its only showing "Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall.....'Please wait....

But, the screen is not coming up.

I am getting below error...

Can't connect to X11 window server using '10.11.0.251:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

OUI-10025:Unable to start an interactive install session because of the following error:Can't connect to X11 window server using '10.11.0.251:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable. The DISPLAY environment variable should be set to <hostname or IP address>:<screen>, where the <screen> is usually '0.0'.

OUI-10026:Depending on the Unix Shell, you can use one of the following commands as examples to set the DISPLAY environment variable:

- For csh: % setenv DISPLAY 192.168.1.128:0.0

- For sh, ksh and bash: $ DISPLAY=192.168.1.128:0.0; export DISPLAY

Use the following command to see what shell is being used:

echo $SHELL

Use the following command to view the current DISPLAY environment variable setting:

echo $DISPLAY

- Make sure that client users are authorized to connect to the X Server.

OUI-10027:To enable client users to access the X Server, open an xterm, dtterm or xconsole as the user that started the session and type the following command:

% xhost +

To test that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, run a X11 based program that comes with the native operating system such as 'xclock':

% <full path to xclock... see below>

If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.

Typical path for 'xclock': '/usr/bin/X11/xclock'

This is a known problem.

Check Oracle Metalink 780102.1.

(basically you have to modify the RUNINSTALLER script to execute the runInstaller using "-jreLoc /opt/java1.4")
