ias 9i - Portal - root.sh and launch.sh

Hi,

I try to install Portal (Minimal Selection of Oracle ias 9i ) on Solaris and
got some problems:

• Oracle 8.1.7 database works fine
• listener.ora works fine (hacked as suggested in technet.oracle.com)
• tnsnames.ora works fine (hacked as suggested in technet.oracle.com)
• environement is set fine

I installed Oralce 8.1.7 and as suggestion of technet.oracle.com I installed Oracle
9i ias in a different $ORACLE_HOME

1st problem : near the end of the installation the root.sh script does not work -

              I will get the following error.log 
              
              "Please delete any log and trace files previously
                created by the Oracle Enterprise Manager Intelligent
                Agent. These files may be found in the directories
                you use for storing other Net8 log and trace files.
                If such files exist, the OEM IA may not restart."
                

The script looks like to delete any logs and traces itself and I do not get any message of
success. Is there anything ok ?

2nd problem :
Installing the portal server with launch.sh : If I set $silent=false the error.log can not
connect to sqlplus as sys (I typed in the correct pass)and hangs up with the following error.log

• begin ---- INSTALL_DEBUG : Arguments passed to Configuration Assistant INSTALL_DEBUG : Silent? - args[0]: true INSTALL_DEBUG : Portal Schema - args[1]: portal30 INSTALL_DEBUG : Portal DAD - args[2]: portal30 INSTALL_DEBUG : SSO Schema - args[3]: portal30_sso INSTALL_DEBUG : SSO DAD - args[4]: portal30_sso INSTALL_DEBUG : Listener Hostname - args[5]: oraserver INSTALL_DEBUG : Listener Port - args[6]: 7777 Image Path for wdblogo.jpg : /opt/oraapp_9i/assistants/opca/images/wdblogo.jpg INSTALL_ACTION : STEP 0 :Creating database utility connect strings for the different layers of Portal INSTALL_ACTION : STEP 1 :Installing obfuscation toolkit INSTALL_ACTION:STEP 1: installCatPkgs() :../../bin/sqlplus sys/<sys_password> @../../webdb30/admin/plsql/cat/catload.sql

ERROR:
ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist

Enter user-name:
---- end ----

If I set $silent=true the launch.sh hangs up (as the error log reported) with a java.lang.NullPointerException. (Error log to long for the newsgroup)

Following questions :

• somebody got the same problems and solved it ?
• are there possibilities to check and change the Sys - Pass in the code for the launch.sh ?
• somebody checked whether there must be a differenz $ORACLE_HOME
• somebody got a good Web Side which shows to handle the problem (technet.oracle.com do not !!!)

Thanks for any advance
