hi Atul,

I’m facing an issue while installing GRCM 7.8 on Oracle UCM 10gR3.

During GRC Manager Application installation (more precisely Table updatations), it’s throwing an error “ORA-00947 : not enough values” .

Tried with SSOSDBSetupUtility .. had no luck ..
Update Tables is throwing the above error ..

Metalink and Google hits hardly return anything.

Do you have any idea wat sud be my approach to resolve this issue ??

Seems,in UCM 10gR3 there is some change in Table Structure 🙂

Thx in Advance,
Indrajit

Is GRC Manager certified with UCM 10gR3 ?

In my opinion install Content Server (7.5.2) and try again or check with Oracle Support.

indrajit agasti says September 1, 2008

hmmm .. ‘ll try with Stellent 7.5.2 .

But the fact is, Oracle has modified Stellent 7.5.2 to UCM 10gR3, thus there is no more existence of STELLENT .. Unforntunately, Oracle is yet to modify their docs 🙁

I tried with Stellenet content server 7.5.2 and GRMC manager on windows and I did manage to install it successfully.
If it doesn’t work with 7.5.2 update here with O.S. Version

Hi Atul,

installation was successful with Stellent 7.5.2.

but i’m unable to launch GRCM.

Enter the URL to the Stellent Financial Compliance Director web server:

http://in-ccustelnt/oraclegrcmanager

isn’t it the URL to launch GRCM ??

Reply
Atul says September 2, 2008

This is right URL.

Did you do post installation steps ?

How about configuring IIS webserver ?

Is IIS forwarding requests to GRCM ?

Reply
indrajit agasti says September 2, 2008

yes the post installation part is taken care .

IIS configuration ?? sorry ! wat needs to be done ?

http://in-ccustelnt/OracleGRCManager returns
“The Web page can’t be found”

Atul, i unsinstalled GRCM and retried.. still same issue..

Enter the URL to the Stellent Financial Compliance Director web server: wat sud be this value ?? seems here i’m making some mistake.

* Can Oracle Content Server be replaced by another content management system, or it is a must for GRC Manager?

* Does Oracle Content Server need separate license with GRC Manager, or it is bundled with GRC Manager with the same license?

Reply
Atul Kumar says September 29, 2009

@ mmansour, as per GRCM 7.8 installation doc only certified content management system is Oracle Content Server 7.5.2 however you can use Microsoft SQL server or Oracle Database as Repository for Oracle Content Server.

For license , please contact your Oracle Sales representative

mmansour says November 21, 2009

Dear Atul,

It is possible to install more than one Content Server instance, but GRC Manager would be connected to only one Content Server instance, is it right?

If yes, what is the best practice to install a test environment and a production environment for Oracle GRC Manager on the same server?

Reply
mmansour says March 3, 2010

As mentioned in GRC_Suite_Support_Matrix, GRC Manager is not supported on Oracle RAC database

Is there a way to install GRC Manager with High Availabilty options?

And what is the best topology to install (Oracle Database, Content Server, and GRC Manager) to fulfill the High Availability option?
