Oracle Workflow on Linux 9.2.0.1 cdroms

[Equis Uno]

Hi there,

I did find some workflow documentation:
http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.docindex?remark=homepage#index-WOR

I did find some workflow software on the linux 9.2.0.1 cdrom set.

I installed it into a fresh ORACLE_HOME with a fresh DB.

I found these statements in the
"Oracle Workflow Server Installation Notes"
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/workflow.920/a96643/toc.htm:

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Start the Workflow Configuration Assistant.

* The Oracle Universal Installer launches the Workflow
Configuration Assistant automatically when the installation is
complete. See: Step 2. Install Oracle Workflow Server files
using the Oracle Universal Installer.

* You can also run the Workflow Configuration Assistant manually. Use
the following commands:

On UNIX:

$<ORACLE_HOME>/wf/install/wfinstall
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Here is where my OWF install falls apart.

-For me the Oracle Universal Installer did not launch the Workflow
Configuration Assistant.
-The file $ORACLE_HOME/wf/install/wfinstall does not exist in my new
oracle home.
-The directory $ORACLE_HOME/wf does not exist either.

So, I spent a few hours trying some different variations of fresh
Oracle installs off of
the 9.2.0.1 cdrom set. I could not find evidence that the OUI is able
to install Workflow.

Have any of you installed workflow on linux
from the 9.2.0.1 cdrom set?

Hi,
I did some poking around in the forums over at OTN.
It appears that I have bumped into a discrepancy
between the windows port of 9.2 and the Linux port.

Another way to look at it is that it is a documentation bug.

Or more likely a generic UNIX bug:
"Impossible to correctly install Oracle Workflow 2.6.2
on UNIX; oracle_home/wf directory not created; impossible
to run oracle workflow configuration assistant."

Perhaps the issue will get resolved during one of the 10g
releases.
