Why do need write access to the Java installation directory

We are upgrading of Siebel Analytics 7.8 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
As OBIEE requires Java 1.5 or higher as a prerequisite, we plan to uninstall Java 1.4 and install the latest version of Java 1.5.
According to OLIVIER Installation and Configuration Guide http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf-> Page 39 "If you install by using the basic installation type, make the user or user group permissions.
writable for the user who installs Oracle Business Intelligence for all JDK 1.5.0 installation directories,.
subdirectories and files. Can someone let me know why we need write access to the directory to install Java?

Thank you
Chandra

I had this same issue and asked Oracle. Here's what they told me:

By Dev:

«For presentation of OBI and OBI Publisher Services, the jdk font files are copied to the location of the JDK because we do not bundle our own JDK.» To ensure that the installation can do this, you must make sure the Oracle BI Installer has permissions to copy files to the location specified in the JDK.

This means that if the same user that Installer / decompressed JDK is also installing Oracle BI, installation should work. In this case the permissions of the JDK is probably 755.

This will not work if a root user installs JDK and a normal user installs Oracle BI because the normal user has not access to write to the location of the JDK or will not work if the location of JDK is read-only, i.e. 444. In this case running chmod 777-r will work. »

  • Get write access to the VI API to allow stopping a server ESXi via Toolkit VI

    Shutdown, APC by 3i

    Referring to the above link and more precisely the following statement ' VMware ESXi 3.5u4 has just been launched and the internal API seems to have been fixed and exposed VI API will have only read-only access when you use the version of ESXi license.

    I did some playing with 3.5u4 ESXi and use the VI Toolkit to connect to the host of 3i. I have been unable to stop the ESXi host as it gives me the error "fault. RestrictedVersion.summary ".

    I understand the question (see this link fault. RestrictedVersion.summary).

    My question is how can I pay for that to work (which agents do I need to buy).

    In my scenario (small client under 15 users), I have a server terminal server in physics and I want to implement SBS on a box of 3i. I want to be able to issue a stop command to the area of 3i of the terminal server using the VI toolkit.

    So I'm able to buy an agent / license to allow write access to the API?

    My first thoughts were:

    • I need to purchase a license to host VirtualCenter for this box of 3i.

    • Then, he would be more free and I was able to 'write' API?

    • I guess on the SBS box, I wouldn't need to install virtual center, just the license service so I got somewhere to point the box of 3i in a location of license

    • VirtualCenter can be provided as a serial number or the host license?

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    I like the VI Toolkit to be able to issue the shutdown command, in turn will stop the VM guest for me.

    At least you need the Foundation license which includes vCenter. Which will give you full access r/w to the VI API, this limited restriction applies only to the free version of ESXi, you are aware of.

    This KB provides details on the type of license required for full access in RCLI: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006543

  • Essbase users have write access to the folder F:\Hyperion

    Guys,

    I have a question concerning access to the F:\Hyperion folder. Unalterable of Essbase users need to have write/modify access to the F:\Hyperion\AnalyticServices folder.
    I know that users who is using the Regional service Console should have change access to folder F:\Hyperion where EAS Console is installed. I wonder because when we allow
    connection request for users, the .qlg files will be created in the folder of the database with the information of the users.

    Other than AnalyticServices(if needed) or AnalyticAdminServices, are there other issues that we need to provide some access to normal users (HFR)?

    Thanks in advance,
    HYPuser

    Normal users need not access to this folder. Only administrators may need to access to the file for the purpose of loading data from the server files.

    Kind regards

  • Labview that is running on a computer without write access to the installation directory?

    Hello

    A client of ours wondered if we can run our Labview executable and runtime on their computer without having no write access to the installation directory?

    It is quite easy to change so that our program writes its log files to another drive on the network, but what the runtime engine and updates Live trying to download programs OR?

    Grateful for any comments.

    As far as I know the terms of access rights for the updates are the same for the basic facilities.

    However, given that your program is running on a factory floor, I recommend disabling updates. I don't think you want to come down because a computer does not have an assembly line update.

    How tio changes the programs installation directory, I want to install? I'm trying to install a lot of programs is always installed in "Local disk C" that low memory space. Please tell me how can I install the programs in other folders such as "Local disk D and E and F.

    Win needs 15% free space for proper operation.

    Using various hacks registry posted on various sites to redirect the default program installation folder to another drive is not supported by MS and can cause problems.

    Most of the programs when you install them have the option for a custom install, where you can specify where / which drive to install, but not all programs have this option. Even if you install a separate drive various files/folders will be written on victory drive.

    If the drives D, E & F are separate partitions of a disk, you will need to modify/extend partition in win

    It is a big barrier for those who have tiny disks.  There are many people who have tiny disks that store only the operating system.  There is no room for additional programs.

  • Write access to the active folder? Possible or not?

    Hello

    I have several JSON files in the app/native/assets/data folder that contain the data for my application. In the sources of the application, they are in the current folder / data. I read that the runtime only access to the data of the root folder will be allowed. However Simulator and device of DevAlpha I am able to write to the folder data/assets. This will be different for the production machines or has that changed?

    You can read about the various issues that are available and the restrictions on them: http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/bb10/com.qnx.doc.native_sdk.devguide/com.qnx.do...

    The fact that you can write in the folder now is because your application is built with a true indicator of "mode of development". Once you export as a release and sign, this indicator is disabled and that your application is installed with the application / files read-only, as described in the above page.

  • Write access to the assets folder

    I have DB SQLite file liabilities. When I deploy I simply open the connection in the current folder.

    In the docs it says assets folder is a single reading file and app must copy the files that need to be writable in the application data directory in the current folder.

    However on Simulator and dev alpha I simply open the connection to db file in the current folder and are able read/change data in the db file and the changes are persisted between application restarts.

    Will be this change in behavior on an actual release or am I missing something?

    What you see is only a convenience for certain types of use during development. Signed apps do NOT have writing anywhere inside their "app" folder, which includes the current folder. You * must * copy of data / first launch, if you want to make changes to these files. Alternatively, implement a mechanism of "copy on write" if only the files that have been changed in fact never get copied, of course, which is more complicated.

  • Access to the Java applications to a camera on BlackBerry

    A java application developed by we would need to interact with the camera of BlackBerry devices. I would appreciate to know if this is possible and if so, with the terminals and the versions of the operating system it would work.

    Thanks in advance.

    V4.6 and higher you can use the JSR-135 to incorporate the field of the camera in your application using the VideoControl and take pictures using VideoControl.getSnapshot.

    For earlier versions, you can call the camera to create a user and then take the photo that you can detect by auditors to review of file system.  There is an example on how to achieve this in the JDE 4.3 and higher.

  • ScriptUI get the path to the indesign installation directory

    Does anyone know if there is a way to get a path of the users to their installation directory?

    I have the script, which creates a new menu in Indesign startup item.  the menu item is clicked, it opens another script.

    Right now, I have the path to the second script hardcoded, which works very well:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts\Scripts Panel\DM_Core\DM_RemoveMenu.vbs

    but now I have to give it to other users, and I need to know if there is a way to get the installation path they have to their indesign.

    In the end, what I get is:

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS5.5\Scripts

    I tried scriptsFolder but that takes me to the right place.

    Anyone has any ideas.
