While installing the primary Oracle products, a TSO user selected panel option 2 to generate an INSTLIB member. This selection was based on the options chosen from the customization panels available through option 1. The following messages are received as a result.

OFT101I PHASE-I - VERIFY ORACLE INSTALLATION OPTION PARAMETERS: Cause: Validation of panel options occurs.; Action: None. This is an informational message.

OFT102I ORACLE INSTALLATION LIBRARY ALLOCATED, LIBRARY = 'instlib': Cause: Allocation of the Oracle installation library instlib completed successfully.; Action: None. This is an informational message.

OFT104I PHASE-II - GENERATE ORACLE INSTALLATION JOB STREAM MEMBER. LIBRARY = 'instlib'. MEMBER = 'ispfile_member': Cause: Validation phase I completed successfully. The Oracle tailoring process continues.; Action: None. This is an informational message. The ISPFILE member ispfile_member is created in Oracle installation library instlib.
The skeleton tailoring process tailors a member of ISPSLIB (an ISPF library) to an output library (the Oracle product set installation library). The created member is an IEBUPDTE job containing all the necessary JCL jobs, Oracle PARMLIB members, and procedures to install the Oracle product set.

OFT105I ISPSLIB FTINCL MEMBER (ispslib_member) PROCESSING COMPLETED. COMPLETION CODE xxxx: Cause: The ISPSLIB skeleton member tailoring process completed.; Action: Check for a successful completion code of 0. This is an informational message.

OFT106I ORACLE INSTALLATION JOB STREAM MEMBER CREATED. LIBRARY = 'instlib'. MEMBER = 'ispfile_member'. COMPLETION CODE xxxx: Cause: Creation of the ISPFILE member is complete.; Action: Check for a successful completion code of 0. This is an informational message.

OFT107I GENERATION PROCESS COMPLETED. COMPLETION CODE xxxx: Cause: Option 2 of the Oracle Primary Option Menu (OR@INST) completed.; Action: Check for a successful completion code of 0. For a completion code other than 0, refer to the additional message (OFTnnnE), which you also received, for resolution information.

4.2 Messages OFT101E to OFT999E

OFT101E ORACLE INSTALLATION LIBRARY NOT DEFINED. EXECUTION TERMINATED: Cause: An attempt to select panel option 2 on the Primary Option Menu occurred without specifying the Oracle installation library definition panel entry (ORPTIP15). This might be a user error.; Action: The tailoring process ends. Select option 1 and then option 5 (INSTLIB/ISPLIB file tailoring information) to access panel ORPTIP15. Check the entries on panel ORPTIP15, define all panel definition fields, and retry option 2.

OFT102E ORACLE INSTLIB LIBRARY DISPOSITION FIELD SPECIFIES INVALID PARAMETER. EXECUTION TERMINATED: Cause: The Oracle installation library disposition panel entry (ORPTIP15) specifies an invalid value. This might be a user error.; Action: The tailoring process ends. Select option 1 and then option 5 (INSTLIB/ISPLIB file tailoring information) to access panel ORPTIP15. Define an appropriate disposition of NEW or SHR for the INSTLIB library and retry option 2.

OFT103E ORACLE INSTLIB DATASET SPECIFIES INCORRECT VOLSER NAME. EXECUTION TERMINATED: Cause: The Oracle installation library VOLSER panel entry (ORPTIP15) specifies an invalid value. This might be a user error.; Action: The tailoring process ends. Select option 1 and then option 5 (INSTLIB/ISPLIB file tailoring information) to access panel ORPTIP15. Define the volume serial number of the DASD (direct access storage device) where the Oracle INSTLIB library resides and retry option 2.

OFT104E ORACLE INSTLIB UNIT FIELD SPECIFIES INCORRECT DEVICE NAME. EXECUTION TERMINATED: Cause: The Oracle INSTLIB library DEVICE TYPE panel entry (ORPTIP15) specifies an invalid value. This might be a user error.; Action: The tailoring process ends. Select option 1 and then option 5 (INSTLIB/ISPLIB file tailoring information) to access panel ORPTIP15. Define the device type name of the DASD device where the Oracle INSTLIB library resides and retry option 2.

OFT105E ALLOCATION FAILURE FOR ORACLE INSTLIB DDNAME "ISPFILE" DSN=instlib [VOLUME=volser UNIT=device_name] DISP=disp COMPLETION CODE xxxx. EXECUTION TERMINATED

Cause: The Oracle INSTLIB library allocation process received a nonzero completion code. This might be a user error.

Action: The tailoring process ends. The completion code xxxx is a TSO ALLOC command return code. Check the TSO allocation return codes to find out why the allocation request failed. Possible reasons for the failure are:

The volume serial name volser is unknown to the system.
A duplicate data set existed during allocation and the disposition field specified NEW.
A DATASET NOT FOUND condition occurred because the panel definition for the INSTLIB disposition field specified SHR or the data set name was incorrect.
An error occurred while defining the Oracle Database for z/OS panel entries (ORPTIP15) for the Oracle INSTLIB library.

Correct the reason for the failure and retry option 2.

OFT106E ORACLE INSTALLATION PROC/TSO CLIST LIBRARY dataset_name NOT DEFINED. EXECUTION TERMINATED: Cause: The procedure library has not been defined in the system. The installation customization process ends.; Action: Define the library, or select option 1 and then option 7 (define data sets for PROC, CLISTs, and temporary disk unit) to access panel ORPTIP25. Specify a library that already exists in the system and retry option 2.

OFT108E DUPLICATE INSTLIB MEMBER. "ispfile_member" MEMBER NOT REPLACED. EXECUTION TERMINATED: Cause: The REPLACE LIKE-NAMED INSTLIB MEMBER panel entry (ORPTIP15) specifies a NO value, protecting the member.; Action: You specified the member is not to be overwritten and the tailoring process ends. Before proceeding, you must rename the old member, delete the old member, or select a different option.
You also receive message OPT107I when this error occurs.

OFT109E ISPSLIB FTOPEN ERROR OCCURRED PROCESSING MEMBER(ispslib_member). COMPLETION CODE xxxx. EXECUTION TERMINATED

Cause: The ISPSLIB data set could not be opened for input processing. An ISPEXEC FTOPEN process caused the error.

Action: The tailoring process ended. This might be a user error. Check for the following possible errors:

The ISPSLIB member does not exist. Member not found.
The ISPSLIB library is enqueued because another user or the TSO user performing the Oracle installation is processing the data set.

The possible return codes are described as follows:

8 – File tailoring already in progress.

12 – Output file in use; ENQ failed.

16 – Skeleton library or output file not allocated.

20 – Severe error.

Correct the reason for the error and retry option 2.

OFT110E ISPSLIB ERROR DURING FTINCL MEMBER(ispslib_member) PROCESSING. COMPLETION CODE xxxx. EXECUTION TERMINATED

Cause: Processing of the ISPSLIB data set member could not occur because an ISPEXEC FTINCL process found an error, which was probably a B37 abend. This error usually occurs because the temporary ISPF data set used for file tailoring requires secondary extents and the allocated volume does not have free space for secondary space allocations. For a B37 abend, an IECnnnI message appears on the z/OS console and supplies the data set name.

Action: The tailoring process ended. This might be a user error. Possible errors are:

The ISPSLIB member was not found or does not exist.
The ISPSLIB skeleton member is in use.

The possible return codes are described as follows:

8 – Skeleton member (default name NEWSKEL) does not exist.
12 – Output file in use; ENQ failed.
16 – Data truncation occurred; or skeleton library or output file was not allocated.
20 – Severe error. Probably a B37 abend occurred. Ensure there is sufficient space on the allocated volume.

Correct the reason for the error and retry option 2.

OFT111E ISPFILE CLOSE ERROR DURING FTCLOSE NAME(ispfile_member) PROCESSING. COMPLETION CODE xxxx. EXECUTION TERMINATED

Cause: A library full condition prevented the copying of the ISPFILE member to the INSTLIB data set.

Action: The tailoring process ends. The possible return code is described as follows:

20 – Severe error. A B37, D37, or E37 abend has probably occurred.

Ensure sufficient space on the allocated volume for the temporary ISPF data set, compress the INSTLIB data set, and retry option 2.

OFT112E SERVICE NOT INVOKED. A VALID ISPF ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT EXIST: Cause: While installing the Oracle database server, a TSO user tried to use the Oracle CLIST ORIPO10 command in a non-ISPF environment.; Action: The CLIST ended without running.

OFT119E NO PRODUCTS OR LANGUAGES WERE SELECTED. PLEASE SELECT SOMETHING FROM EITHER OR BOTH: Cause: An attempt was made to move to panel ORDSN without selecting at least one product or language.; Action: Panel ORPRODS is displayed again. Select the appropriate products or languages and continue through the panels.

OFT919E type LIBRARY name NOT FOUND: Cause: An ISPF library of type type was not found while trying to allocate that library using data set name name.; Action: Check the high-level index specified for the ISPF data sets and check the name under which those data sets are installed.

OFT999E s (variable text)

Cause: This diagnostic message indicates a serious error with the installation process.

Action: Possible reasons for the problem are:

Table ORADB is already open; try again later
Table LANG is locked by another user; try again later
Table table_name is locked by another user; try again later
You entered the same data set name for different products; rename and try again
No products or languages were selected; select products or languages and try again

If the error persists, then you can contact Oracle Support Services for additional assistance.
