Re: Installation Problem of Oracle8i Ent. Ed. on Pentium 4

Muhammad,
All the O8i/O9i installation products run under the 'Java Runtime Environment for Windows', jrew.exe. jrew.exe uses a Symantec 'Just In Time' java compiler.
Upon invocation, the jrew.exe jit compiler attempts to identify the CPU. jit DOES NOT recognize the Pentium 4 CPU!!! So... jrew.exe JUST QUITS WITH NO MESSAGES! I have found no update to jrew.exe at the Sun site. My workaround?

1. Copy the entire O8i CD to your hard drive.
2. Edit file \install\oraparam.ini
3. Change line 7 from: JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-mx96m to: JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -mx96m
4. Install from the hard drive.
5. After installation find all the 'jrew.exe' or 'jre.exe' invocations and add the '-nojit' parameter. Most of these are in files with extension '.cl' and '.bat'. Perform a find of all files in oraclehome containing text 'bin\jre'.

You'll find this problem with other Oracle products, like O9iAS/DB. I'm still working a O9iAS issue where java.exe crashes with a drwatson log. Otherwise I got O9iAS installed similar to above instructions.
