INSTALL_ACTION : Set the component loading flag for SSO

ERROR: Setting the component loading flag in the DBMS registry raised exception.

It could be that the loadjava of the repca doesn't work well in this configuration. There are probably at least two issues: first, the symbolic link $REPCA_HOME/JRE does not point to the correct location. It needs to point to the full JRE location (java/1.3.1). Second, the loadjava itself is an issue. I tried to solve the problem in a bunch of ways, but found the easiest thing to do is just run the repca from a Windows or Linux box. Much faster than troubleshooting the install on HPUX.
