Issue/Introduction

Description:

I'm trying to install SiteMinder Report Server R12 SP1 on Solaris 10.

The installation process takes too much time and finishes with the following java exception:

<- Begin

Finished.

Checking the report server installation, the directory size is arround 2.4 GB and seems to be ok.

Solution:

The Java exception is related to the library xiiimp.so which uses the XWindow environment and it suggests a possible compatibility issue with the XWindow emulator used.

To work-around this issue, you can install the report server in console mode:

1. Remove the failed R12 SP1 Report Server installation as documented in SiteMinder Policy Server Installation Guide, How to Uninstall the Report Server.
   
   
2. Install the R12 SP1 Report Server in console mode as follows:
   

   $ ca-wamui-12.0-sp1-cr002-sol.bin -i console

   Console and GUI uses the same JVM for installing, but the console mode will not expose the SWING components and hence the XWindow environment will not be used.
   
   Please note that the report server directory size should be around 3.2 GB.
