Re: Oracle 8.1.5 Java Problem

Here's the exact message I get when I run the dbassist tool provided by Oracle in 8.1.5:
java.lang.NumberFormatException:

        at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java)
        at java.lang.Long.parseLong(Long.java)
        at WizOSD.DBQueryAvailableRAM(WizOSD.java:296)
        at CheckerClass.CheckAvailableRAM(CheckerClass.java:496)
        at CheckerClass.DetectAll(CheckerClass.java:63)
        at DBConfigInfo_base.<init>(DBConfigInfo_base.java:901)
        at DBConfigInfo.<init>(DBConfigInfo.java:44)
        at DBCreateWizard.<init>(DBCreateWizard.java:421)
        at DBCreateWizard.main(DBCreateWizard.java:1082)

Any clues or ideas? I am not a java programmer but it looks like a problem in the long type or the way dbassist is using a long. I wish I could play around with the source code but I can't find the dbassist code(DBCreateWizard.java)
