The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Oracle: Error in starting opmn server

Asked by debra_meiers in Oracle IAS Application Server, Oracle 11.x Database

Tags: Oracle Identity Management 11g, opmn server

I have a VM, which is being administered by VMware Lab Manager.  The VM is running RHEL 5.1, and has an Oracle 11g database installed.

I am in the process of trying to install and configure Oracle Internet Directory 11g.  To do this, I ran the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Oracle Identity Management Installer.  I selected the "Install Software - Do Not Configure" installation type, and chose to "Configure without a Domain" in order to avoid having to install and administer a WebLogic domain.  The installation routine ran successfully.

But, I ran into a problem while trying to configure the Oracle Identity Management 11g components.  I ran the Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 1 Configuration Wizard [ORACLE_IDM_HOME/bin/config.sh].  Here are some of the key configuration values that I entered:

- Oracle Instance Location: /data1/u01/config/oracle/as_admin/asinst_1
- Oracle Instance Name: asinst_1
- Select Domain: Configure without a Domain
- Configure Components: Oracle Internet Directory
- Configure Ports: Auto Port Configuration
- Specify Schema Database: Create Schema

After entering my configuration values and hitting the Configure button, the configuration process started running.  Shortly thereafter, under Bootstrap Domain Configuration, "Failed" appeared next to the "Create ASInstance" line, with the following error listed:

Error creating ASInstance asinst_1
  Cause: An internal operation has failed: Error in starting opmn server
  Operation aborted because of a system call failure or internal error

[I have attached the output from the error log for the Oracle Identity Management 11g Configuration Wizard, in case it would be helpful.]

To get more information, I tried to manually start the opmn server [I set ORACLE_INSTANCE to "/data1/u01/config/oracle/as_admin/asinst_1" and then ran "./opmnctl start" from the ORACLE_IDM_HOME/opmn/bin directory].  As expected, the server failed to start.  But, I checked the opmn.out file [in the ORACLE_INSTANCE/diagnostics/logs/OPMN/opmn directory], and found the following error repeated several times:

OPMN worker process exited with status 8b. Restarting.
OPMN worker process exited with status 8b. Restarting.
...
OPMN worker process terminated with signal 11 7 times in 10 seconds -- aborting!

Does anyone know what this error means?  I am at a loss as to what to do at this point, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
