Are there any? I can't seem to create a profile for my

try rhn-profile-sync, it fails with error communicating

connected to Oracle on the server.
Can you provide us the full error from the up2date log?
Certainly:

was:

Where is the Oracle error message? Can you provide that?
From /usr/lib/oracle//xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump/alert_XE.log:
Wed Feb 18 13:20:41 2009
Errors in file /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/udump/xe_ora_16495.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [evapls()+133] [SIGSEGV] [Address
not mapped to object] [0x4] [] []
And in catalina.out, I get the usual 50million lines of a java exception when,
about 15 min. earlier than the above, I tried to schedule a profile update from
spacewalk via browser, for the client system: null pointer exception
Okay. 'Internal Server Error' doesn't really tell me much. Can you post
the java exceptions somewhere and link to them, or send them as an
attachment?
'Core dump' in oracle doesn't really tell me much either except, whoah,
sounds bad. :)
There must be *something* that I need to do to make the
profile, so I can set up a push.
By setting up a push, do you mean configuring the client for
OSAD?
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/OSADSetup
What is OSAD? I saw setup instructions for it, but nothing that told me in the
client setup docs what it was, or why it was needed, at least in the client
setup docs, which end with the registration. Is this a daemon that needs to run
on the client? Is it needed on the server, as well?
Or are you talking about rhnpush-ing content into a channel?
I'm wondering how you could have set things up for push-to-clients if
you didn't know what OSAD was.... if you don't set up OSAD then
Spacewalk is client pull only.
What steps did you follow up to this point??
Oh, no, I've got that working just fine, thanks. Did I post the script I wrote
for that?
I don't know.
(I am assuming the former since the latter doesn't have much
to do with a client system)
Right: we don't plan to have the client pull the update, but rather push it
from the server.
Oh, and when I scheduled a push via browser/spacewalk, it
errored out.
Okay? What error message did you get? Is the osad daemon
running on the Satellite? Does the client you're trying to
push to have an active OSAD status in its system details page?
I'd have to rerun it. First, though, could you tell me, or point me to a doc,
that tells me about OSAD, other than just how to set it up?
I honestly hate to pick on you at this point (although you probably
think I'm a real meaniehead by now anyway) it is all on the main
documentation page on the Spacewalk wiki, OSAD docs also turn up if you
search for 'OSAD' in the Spacewalk wiki search or if you search for
'OSAD spacewalk' in yahoo or google. Anyhow, here is the documentation
from there that talks about OSAD beyond how to set it up:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToRhnpush
OSAD is also mentioned in the python architecture diagram here:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/PythonDocumentation
For reference, the main Spacewalk documentation page is here:
https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/UserDocs
'OSAD' is meaningless if you have no idea what it means, but the
description of the doc on the User Docs page does make it clear. Maybe
the User Docs page would be easier to read if the docs were split out by
functionality, though. E.g., client configuration,
kickstart/provisioning, etc etc.
