When upgrading to/or installing 7.6.3.19 on AIX, got ERROR: SharePlex-7.5.2-b26-oracle100-aix-52-ppc.tpm: Unpacking failed.
Example:
# ./SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm -v -t /home
=> mkdir -p /home/SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm.temp.381056
=> cd /home/SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm.temp.381056
=> uncompress -c
=> cpio -idvu
Unpacking
ERROR: SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm: Unpacking failed, please use option -v to get details.
NOTE: Most likely causes may be one of the following:
o Wrong platform (no platform specific decompression utility)
o Insufficient privileges in the current working directory
o Insufficient privileges in /home
stderr> 0653-057 stdin is not compressed format
stderr> cpio: 0511-037 cpio can't read from its input
=> cd /home/oracle
=> rm -rf /home/SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm.errors.381056
=> rm -rf /home/SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm.temp.381056
If the shell's LANG is NOT set as 'C', 'en_US' or 'NULL', the installer will fail in AIX.
Check environment variable LANG on your shell.
Type
# echo $LANG
If the result is
ja_JP or other multibyte encoding, the problem will happen.
Try
# export LANG=C (or unset LANG)
# ./ SharePlex-7.6.3-b19-oracle110-aix-53-ppc-m64.tpm
