export OW_DEFAULT_DISTRICT=OWSIDEAST

2. OW_ADMIN_UTILS_PW
You will need to set the value of this environment variable, if you change the password of OW_ADMIN_UTILS.

export OW_ADMIN_UTILS_PW=owadminutilspassword

The problem happen when we try to install as a user which its home directory is not mounted. We tried to set the HOME to other directory by setting up HOME environment variable. But, we got:
No module find error

Then we try to debug the installation by:
sh -x setup.bin
It come back with a lot of debug messages, and at the end we will see a line with:
CLASSPATH=/tmp/install.829388/jar/...
exec /tmp/install.829388/jre/bin/java ....

What we did is to manipulate the user home by
$export CLASSPATH=/tmp/install.829388/jar/...
/tmp/install.829388/jre/bin/java -Duser.home=/tmp/tmpdir ...
This way, we will force the installer to use different HOME directory

As a reminder to myself, the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL should be set as:
# Set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable only for Red Hat 9,
# RHEL AS 3, and RHEL AS 4 !!
# Use the "Linuxthreads with floating stacks" implementation instead of NPTL:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 # for RH 9 and RHEL AS 3
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 # for RHEL AS 4
Honestly, I don’t know why we have to set differently between RH9 & RHEL AS 3 vs RHEL AS 4. I’ll do it anyway.

As I read from the Red Hat Release Notes, it says:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 — Linuxthreads with floating stacks
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 — Linuxthreads without floating stacks

Once we set the environment, we can check which thread library that active, we can use ‘getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION’ command as follow:
bash-3.00$ unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
bash-3.00$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.3.4
bash-3.00$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
bash-3.00$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
linuxthreads-0.10
bash-3.00$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
bash-3.00$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
linuxthreads-0.10
bash-3.00$ export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.5.2
bash-3.00$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.3.4
bash-3.00$ unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
bash-3.00$ getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.3.4

Information about NPTL can be found in wikipedia.

The work around is to set IATEMPDIR environment to location that has sufficient space
$ export IATEMPDIR=/glb/apps/3rdparty_test/tmp

Before you run the script, you have to make sure that the following environment variable is populated correctly:
OWHOME
OWSYSSID
ORACLE_HOME
OW_HOME_DIR

From your linux shell, please run the following:
Bash$ ${OWHOME}/jre/bin/java \
-classpath ${OWHOME}/jar/com_lgc_ow_devkit.jar \
com.lgc.ow.credentials.OracleWallet \
${OWSYSSID} ${ORACLE_HOME} ${OW_HOME_DIR}

If it’s not exist, it will create ${HOME}/wallet directory with user and password entry. The password created by the script has to be equal as the user. If you have different password value, you’ll need to use the default OpenWorks user dialog.

Strange vs Normal interface

You can fix this strange interface by unset the environment:
unset GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID
then call your PowerExplorer startup script, and you will have your normal PowerExplorer interface.

I thought this feature has well known, but many of my colleagues don’t know it:( That’s the reason why I’m posting this.

In unix (solaris, etc), you have to execute 2 command to do the command :

#tar cvf bundle.tar filenameone.txt filenametwo.txt
#gzip bundle.tar

in linux, you could use the following command

#tar cvfz bundle.tar.gz filenameone.txt filenametwo.txt

The command to extract the header is:

#dd if=field.segy conv=ascii ibs=3200 count=1

Some text without carriage return will appear. You could format the output using the following command:

#dd if=$1 conv=ascii ibs=3200 count=1 | awk 'BEGIN{RS="C[0-9 ][0-9]"}{printf "C%2d%s\n",NR,$0}'
