Error Reading The Oracle Universal Installer Inventory
of (a) do a bunch of stuff and wait to continue the install later or (b) tick a box and continue now it's a better man that I who would opt for option (a). When I recently installed OBIEE 11g, I was prompted to get a script run as root to set up the inventory, or tick "Continue Installation with local inventory" to continue with the install. Not having root privileges on the machine, not really understanding the purpose of OUI inventory on a single installation machine, and mostly just being a bit lazy, I obviously went for the path of least resistance. Lazy people click here The installation proceeded with no further issues, and I spent a couple of happy hours tinkering with the freshly installed OBI 11g and EM. But… you cross the gods of OUI's inventory at your peril… When I tried to run the Upgrade Assistant, got an error: /app/oracle/product/fmw_home/Oracle_BI1/bin $./ua Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Assistant 11.1.1.5.0 Log file is located at: /app/oracle/product/fmw_home/Oracle_BI1/upgrade/logs/ua2011-10-05-08-53-26AM.log UPGAST-00055: error reading the Oracle Universal Installer inventory The inventory pointer location /etc/oraInst.loc is either not readable or does not exist Sure enough, the file doesn't exist: $ls -l /etc/oraInst.loc ls: /etc/oraInst.loc: No such file or directory Fortunately it appears you can make amends with OUI easily, by running as root the script which you were originally asked to run: [root@server]/ $/app/oracle/product/oraInventory/createCentralInventory.sh Setting the inventory to /app/oracle/product/oraInventory Setting the group name to biadmin Creating the Oracle inventory pointer file (/etc/oraInst.loc) Changing permissions of /app/oracle/product/oraInventory to 770. Changing groupname of /app/oracle/product/oraInventory to biadmin. The execution of the script is complete This creates /etc/oraInst.loc, which simply points to the original local inventory which was created: $cat /etc/oraInst.loc inventory_loc=/app/oracle/product/oraInventory inst_group=biadmin After this the Upgrade Assistant fired up just fine.

migrating our legacy OBIEE 10g webcat and RPD to Oracle's new 11g platform, we often don't have the privilege of using a GUI based operating system for assembly & system test as most production systems are Solaris or Red Hat. We can all agree that a unix distribution is more powerful & flexible, yet leaves much to be desired when attempting to resolve configuration issue in a 'friendly UI environment'. This is certainly no exception when attempting to use Oracle's Upgrade Assistant Command Line Interface. Many users have encountered error " UPGAST-00055: error reading https://rnm1978.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/obi-11g-upgast-00055-error-reading-the-oracle-universal-installer-inventory/ the Universal Installer Inventory. The inventory pointer oraInst.loc is either not readable or doest not exist". A quick search of Oracle's Fusion Middleware Error Message Reference Guidemakes me believe that Oracle's writers are playing a cruel joke in their attempt to 'help': Action: "see the secondary error message?" You've got to be kidding me!! Oracle's 'help' aside, the upgrade assistant is looking for an oraInst.loc file which contains http://www.askjohnobiee.com/2012/11/fyi-error-while-running-upgrade.html 2 things: The location of your installation directory The install group of your user But the upgrade assistant cant find your oraInst.loc file, why? UA, by default, searches for the oraInst.loc file in your /var/opt/oracle folder. But many times, the file won't be located there - for a number of reasons , including: custom installation directories co-installation of multiple oracle products de-installation and subsequent re-installation attempts But you're not out of luck. Most likely, your oraInst.loc file will be in your $MW_HOME/oracle_common folder: You can then use the UA CLI paramater -invPtrLoc to specify your custom oraInst.loc path.: ./ua MT -BIEEE -webcatdir /export/obiee/11g/Oracle_BI1/bin/webcatalog -invPtrLoc /export/obiee/11g/oracle_common/oraInst.loc -webCatDeliversDir /delivers -wlsPort 7001 -wlsUser weblogic will generate the following: followed by a series of postupgrade tasks that you can view at 'tail -f $ORACLE_HOME/upgrade/logs/postupgrade.txt' and ultimately a 'completed successfully' message: But what if you can't find your oraInst.loc file? Don't worry! Oracle has a template you can use located at: /$ORACLE_HOME//bifoundation/provision/scripts/bidomain/inst Rename it to oraInst.loc Copy it to your $ORACLE_HOME folder Populate the inventory_loc line with the path to your oraInventory folder Populate the inst_group with the group name of the account you're using to install & upgrade OBIEE Run the upgrade assistant as specified abov
