Install Oracle Fusion11g repositories on 11g db

The rcu installer does a db prerequisite check on the version of the db you’re installing on.
Since i’m using the 11.1.0.6.0 version the installer would fail with the message ‘The database you are connecting is not a supported version. Enter Database with version equal to or higher than 10.2.0.4.0 in 10g or version equal to higher than 11.1.0.7.0 in 11g. Refer to the certification matrix for supported DB versions’.

Go to the file
[sourcecode language=”xml”]
\rcu\config\ComponentInfo.xml
[/sourcecode]
and find this xml

[sourcecode language=”xml”]



select 1 from dual where exists (select column_name from dba_tab_columns where table_name(+) like ‘V_$INSTANCE’ and column_name(+) = ‘EDITION’) union select 0 from dual where not exists (select column_name from dba_tab_columns where table_name(+) like ‘V_$INSTANCE’ and column_name(+) = ‘EDITION’)


select count(*) from product_component_version where product like ‘Oracle%Database%’ AND version BETWEEN ’11’ AND ‘11.1.0.6.0’
0

The database you are connecting is not a supported version. Enter Database with version equal to or higher than 10.2.0.4.0 in 10g or version equal to higher than 11.1.0.7.0 in 11g. Refer to the certification matrix for supported DB versions


[/sourcecode]

And change the value of ‘PrereqValue’ from 0 to 1.
Run install again and it will pass the check.

Thanks to Edwin for pointing me to the file 🙂
