Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 won't start

[Alex Savitsky]

Hi,

I'm trying to install OAS 4.0.7 on my machine (NT4 Server SP4, Oracle8i
(8.1.5)). It does install fine, but when I try to start it (no matter if
using OAS Manager or owsctl utility), it gives the following error (here's
the complete output from OAS Manager):

Please wait while the command is being processed on host iluvatar ...
Starting ORB processes...
Returning filename D:\Oracle\OAS407\orb\admin\.event
waiting for ORB to be ready...
ORB is not responding. Please restart manually...
OWS-20214: The OAS processes can not be started, because the CORBA orb
processes can not be started.

When I use owsctl ("owsctl start"), it seem to actually start some of ORBs -
I can tell that because several command windows come on and then disappear,
but one window - with process called (something)log40 (don't remember
correctly) - stays on for a few minutes, then disappear, and then owsctl
drops out with the message that it cannot start ORB. "owsctl start -orb"
doesn't work, either.

Oracle service is started, TNS listener is running, too, so does OAS Node
Manager.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alex,

it's a problem with the SP4.
Use SP3 and you have no problems, or migrate to OAS4.0.8 (with SP5)

Alex:

OAS 4.0.7 is not supported on NT with SP4, only on SP3. More, OAS 4.0.8 is
supported with SP5, but not SP4.
notice that the 4.0.7.1 patch
(ftp://oracle-ftp.oracle.com/server/patchsets/internet/NT/oas40710/) WILL
solve this problem :BUT, its still NOT supported, even if the patch is
install with SP4.

Consider moving to OAS4.0.8 with SP5 or downgrade to SP3. if u only wanna
test the OAS, install the patch
and test it.

Hi,
I have the same error message when trying to start OAS Listener on NT4.0
SP3.
Where can we download OAS4.0.8?
Thanks.
