Also, verify that the following conditions exist on your database before configuring Oracle9iAS Portal:
The SYSTEM Tablespace should have at least 150 MB of available free space during the Oracle9iAS Portal and the Oracle9iAS Single Sign-On Server installation. This would ensure faster installation as the extents would not have to be added during installation.
The PORTAL tablespace in the Infrastructure database should have initial storage of at least 75 MB. For the customer database installation, users should make sure that the default tablespace has at least 75 MB of available free space and they should have auto extend enabled.
The index tablespace PORTAL_IDX in the Infrastructure database should have initial storage of at least 20 MB. For the customer database installation, users should make sure that the Index tablespace has at least 20 MB of available free space and they should have auto extend enabled.
The Document tablespace PORTAL_DOC and Logging tablespace PORTAL_LOG in the Infrastructure database should have initial storage of at least 4 MB. For the customer database installation, users should make sure that the Document and Logging tablespace to have at least 4 MB of available free space and they should have auto extend enabled.
The Temporary tablespace PORTAL_TMP in the Infrastructure database should have initial storage of at least 20 MB. For the customer database installation, users should make sure that the Temporary tablespace has at least 20 MB of available free space and they should have auto extend enabled.

To enable Oracle Text searching in Oracle9iAS Portal, make sure that the following requirements are met:
For Unix, you should use csh
or ksh
for installing Oracle9iAS Portal. The Oracle9iAS Portal Configuration Assistant (OPCA) uses various Oracle utilities which may not work properly in other shells. The OPCA invokes sub-shells to run various utilities, including SQL*Plus, SQL*Loader, import, and loadjava. You should disable the sourcing to other Oracle homes in the shells before installing Oracle9iAS Portal. For example, if your shell sources to an old Oracle home by default, OPCA will create a sub-shell that sources to a different Oracle home, causing the utilities to fail.
