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

Where is the Oracle error message? Can you provide that?
From /usr/lib/oracle//xe/app/oracle/admin/XE/bdump/alert_XE.log:

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
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?
Oh, no, I've got that working just fine, thanks. Did I post the script I
wrote for that?
(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?
You definetly want OSAD running, on both the client and the server. Because
the rhnsd daemon defaults to 'checking in' every 240 minutes. So if you
schedule a push, reboot, or a remote command on the client from the
spacewalk server, it may take up to 4 hours before it executes. What OSAD
does is check with the server to see if there are any pending operations
scheduled for it, if so then it executes /usr/sbin/rhn_check (same thing
that the rhnsd daemon does when it wakes up).

Thanks!
