PRVF-3929 : Adding the Oracle binary location to the PATH environment variable will exceed the OS length limit of [ "1023" ] for the variable on the node "CNF0123H5R" - Cause: The installer needs to update the PATH environment variable to include the value "%ORACLE_HOME%/bin;". However, doing so will cause PATH to exceed the maximum allowable length that this operating system allows. - Action: Ensure that the sum of the lengths of your current PATH environment variable and that of "%ORACLE_HOME%/bin;" does not exceed the operating system limit. Restart the installer after correcting the setting for environment variable. 

=============


This limitation is based on older Windows restrictions, where length of environmental variables was important. This limitation is still there in the Oracle installation.


​
Work around this:
  • Step 1: Copy the value of your 'path' variable to a text-editor (Ex.: notepad) and save this value as backup.
  • Step 2: Reduce the size of this path to less that 1023 characters. Remove path variables at the end. You will mostly not need any of them during the oracle installation. Keep those removed values in a separate text-file, because you need to add them again later!
  • Step 3: Start the oracle installation again.
  • Step 4: After Oracle installation: Add those removed path values again at the end of the path.

BLAFS is a bloat-aware filesystem for container debloating. The design principles of BLAFS are effective, efficient, and easy to use. It detects the files used by the container, and then debloats the container by removing the unused files. The debloated containers are still functional and can run the same workload as the original containers, but with a much smaller size and faster deployment. https://github.com/negativa-ai/BLAFS?tab=readme-ov-file
