There is some problem with Oracle jre on machines with older CPUs (Pentium II, AMD K6-2, K6-3. I have kind of solutions and one hint:

1. Used drastic measures: modified dbca, emca, netca to use sun jre instead of Oracle jre. I also modified about 10 other scripts. Everything works fine except oemctl. That one looks incompatible with JRE/JDK 1.3.1.
2. Another option is to create a link in the above mentioned directory:

cd /app/oracle/product/9.0.2/oracle.swd.jre/bin/i386/native_threads ln -s java jre

It works for dbca, netca, emca. It doesn't work for scripts which use -nojit switch in the call to jre, java doesn't support this switch. Again, you need to modify those scripts manually.

3. You can look up Bug No. 2437047 in Metalink. It suggests that if you have ORACLE_INVENTORY different from ORACLE_BASE, you won't have this problem. Haven't had a time to test it yet. Received on Tue Jul 30 2002 - 10:32:35 CDT
