Can you upload VMWare to the internet? You can remove doc and help center files for reduce the size.

Sorry ! m(x_x)m

I can't it. This Vmimage is over 10GB. And I think that there is a problem of the license.

But, The installation is very easy. It will finish in a day.

Please prepare the following things.

64bit machine
VMware Player or Virtualbox
CentOS5.5 64bit
Oracle Database 10g R2 Express Edition Linux （oracle-xe-univ-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm）

Re: Windchill error occurred in Japanese environment.

AshLynx — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:23:37 GMT

When I navigate [site]>[tenplate], Windchill error occurred on Japanese environment.

But Windchill error did not occorre on English environment.

Probably, there is a problem in the specification of SQL sentence.

Oracle XE is not support "NLS_SORT = Japanese" option.

(Oracle 10g production is not support it's option but not error occurred)

Correct option is "NLS_SORT = JAPANESE_M" or "NLS_SORT = JAPANESE_M_CI".

Edit site.xconf and add under the line.

<Property name="wt.pom.enableNLSSort" overridable="true" targetFile="db/db.properties" value="false"/>

# xconfmanager -p

Delete cache and Restart Windchill.

We leverage CentOS and Oracle XE extensively in our test and demo environments. We also use VMware and Xen virtualization to power these environments. Using open source and free versions of commercial software has allowed us to deploy flexible Windchill solutions with zero third party software costs. To date we have had no issues running Windchill on CentOS or Oracle XE.

Thank you for your comments.

I am developing the system of connecting WC and other PLM system.

Use for one month, COxW system has no problem. It has good performance.

Linux is very good. Light, robust and easy.

I want PTC not to stop the support of Linux.

Regards,

COxW (CetOS, Oracle XE, Windchill) < Do you think ? Cool or not cool?

ex. > LAMP(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)

Re: Successfully installing Windchill9.1 on CentOS

ShawnLothrop — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:19:46 GMT

I don't see any signs of PTC dropping support for Windchill running on Linux. The published Windchill Future Platform Support Summary document at http://www.ptc.com/view?im_dbkey=69784 shows support for Linux on all planned versions of Windchill. Specifically the platform support plan lists Red Hat 5.0 support in Windchill 9.1 and 10 followed by Red Hat 6 support in Windchill 11. Our engineering services group uses Linux to power their production instance of Windchill, and we have a number of customers running Linux. Dropping support for Linux in Windchill would inconvenience many more customers than when PTC dropped support for Linux in Pro/E.

As for COxW, it's not bad, but it doesn't fit as nice as LAMP. The x is in the way. Maybe just COW with a prefix.

standard COW (CentOS, Oracle Standard, Windchill)
mini COW (CentOS, Oracle XE, Windchill)

I like it very nice naming !

Successfully installing Windchill10.0C000 on CentOS

AshLynx — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 07:57:16 GMT

It works!

CentOS5.5 6.4bit
Oracle Database 11g R2 Enterprise Edition
Windchill10.0C000(PDML+PJL) JAPANESE Edition

Re: Successfully installing Windchill10.0C000 on CentOS

JovanLončar — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:44:22 GMT

Hi,

i have tried with this setup:

- CentOS6.0 64bit

- Oracle Database 11g R2 Enterprise Edition

- Windchill10.0 F000(PDMLink)

But was not successfull. There seems to be a problem with the OCU. I keep getting the error code 255 (in the installer log file) and the error string "ocu installer could not start" (in the PSI abort dialog).

I tried giving the "oracle" user root privilege by adding him to the root group, but that did not help.

I also thought it is the problem with the "su" command that changes the user from root to oracle "su oracle -c /mnt/path/setup LAX_VM java -f config.file -DSOMETHING=0"

when i tried to run the command "by hand" with the oracle user the error would be that su does not have the -D attribute. So with some aliases and bash

functions i tried to trick the installer to put the remainder of the -c switch into quotes (').

That also did not work.

Did anyone try this or see this error and knows what it means?

I am stuck with this and i don't know enough about Windchill to make the OCU step by hand. I did check what files and their content was in another

installation that was done on a windows machine but i don't know the order of the commands to execute so that the changes would have

any effect.

Any suggestions on how to proceed are welcome.

Hi,

you were right. When i tried with CentOS 5 it installed completely.

Thank you for your fast response.

I'm trying to install Windchill 10.0 in CentOS 5.8 and I keep getting error: OCU failed to start, which is the Oracle Configuration Utility inside Windchill. The log showed error # 126, which could be permission level denied. Did you have to add a Permissions file in /etc/udev/rules.d ? I found a thread that told me that. I created a script file and tried to install Windchill again, no go.

Re: Successfully installing Windchill10.0C000 on CentOS

AshLynx — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:16:44 GMT

I had same problem.

We need oracle user in installation of Windchill10.0M030.

And oracle user needs execute permissions.

1) login as root.

2) Copy from CD of OCU to your machine. ex. /usr/temp/<copy_place>

3) # chmod -R 777 /usr/temp/<copy_place>

Go install!

Re: Successfully installing Windchill10.0C000 on CentOS

VinJovanovic — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 19:20:16 GMT

Nope, doesn't work for me. Failed to start OCU never goes away just like a nightmare. It is something to do with oracle installation user and it variables, I'd say, but nothing can be found in pages and pages of PTC's documentation. I am not getting much response from PTC tech support either, other then centOS is not supported...... They could have just explained in the manual how to create an appropriate database using Oracle GUI rather than trying to do it themselves underneath in their scripts which then give up on who knows what.
