RCU (Repository Creation Utility) 11gR2 on Linux 64 bit

RCU creates the required database schema for Identity and Access Management components. As per the certification matrix, Database versions supported for 11gR2 components are :

Oracle 10.2.0.4+
Oracle 11.1.0.7+
Oracle 11.2.0.1+

Environment :

OS	Oracle Enterprise Linux 6
Host Name	oam11gr2.idmoracle.com
JDK_HOME	/home/oracle/jdk1.6.0_35
Database Hostname	idmdb.idmoracle.com
Database Port and service name	1521:orcl

To create schema for OAM11gR2 using RCU on Linux 64 bit, unzip the V33642-01.zip file and execute the rcu command fromrcuhome/bin directory.

This error occurred because RCU is supported only on 32 bit Linux. Perform a simple workaround to run RCU on 64 bit version of linux, create a soft link for “jdk” folder inside rcuHome as the directory location where 64 bit jdk is installed (/home/oracle/jdk1.6.0_35 in my case) and run the RCU again.
