Unable to find virtual java machine

968462Sep 8 2015 — edited Sep 24 2015

Hi all,

I am new at Oracle and am trying to install a working version.
So far I have installed Oracle 11G, R2: files win64_11gR2_database_1of2 and win64_11gR2_database_2of2 (dowlnloaded from the Oracle site)
My machine has Windows 7, 64 bit

Maybe some background information to clarify what I'm doing (and have done):

Installation (as administrator) ran OK (after changing PATH temporarily)

I can run SQL Plus but would like to work with SQL Developer.

At first I could not start this because Oracle couldn't find a .bat file.

On internet I found a way to work around it by changing the target to "D:\app\Hein\product\11.2.0\dbhome\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloperW.exe"
This meant changing the existing last part from sqldeveloper.exe to sqldeveloperW.exe (with an extra W).
This brought me a step closer.

Now I can (begin to) start SQL Developer.
However: it stops with the message "Unable to find java virtual machine".

The complete text: "Unable to find java virtual machine. To point to a location of a java virtual machine, please refer to the Oracle 9i developer install guide (jdev\install.html)"

The file mentioned, I cannot find. I am also surprised that a reference to Oracle 9i shows up.

Searching internet for a solution only gives me old answers, from previous Oracle versions. I don't thing these answers (to the same question) apply (I may be mistaking)

I have installed java (jdk-8u60-windows-x64.exe, also from the site)

I have tried many things to point to a java virtual machine, so much that it's not clear to me anymore all the things I've done (sorry).

Before I mess up completely: is there a way to get SQL Developer started and working?

Thanks in advance
Hein

Hello Melvis,

This is nice feature. I've actually tested it and found very annoying problem in this implementation. As soon as ZFS storage appliance creates hidden .$EXTEND directory in share (this is created automatically and is visible only if you go into Solaris share) - then all requests to URL representing account - fail with permission problem. Truss invoked on httpd process shows that it fails on .$EXTEND directory and returns this problem as generic permission problem to swiftclient user.

Another question I have: we frequently set mountpoint on project level changing it from /export to somthing like "/export/<project_name>". This allows us to have the same share names and having same share paths (like /export/<project_name>/<share_name>). From document it looks like directory under "/export" is used as Swift account. Does this mean that using 3-level mountpoint for shares is not supported for object storage use?

Regards,

Michal
