These release notes provide basic installation, configuration and usage instructions for Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Developer. For additional documentation, refer to the generic Oracle9i documentation, which is available at the following Web site:
http://technet.oracle.com
The following sections provide operating system configuration instructions for United Linux 1.0 (x86_64), and installation instructions for Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Developer.
Complete the following installation and configuration steps:
Install SLES8 powered by United Linux 1.0 (x86_64) or later on the system. Oracle Corporation recommends that you wipe out the old operating system before installing SLES8. Doing this provides a clean installation, which can prevent configuration problems.
Set up the network to match your preferences. Use either static IP or use DHCP to obtain an IP address.
Log in as root.
Create the user account oracle
.
The oracle
user is the account that owns Oracle9i software after installation. All installation is done as the oracle
user.
Run the following commands to create the group dba
, if it does not exist, and to add the user oracle
to the dba
group:
groupadd -g 500 dba usermod -g dba oracle
If you do not already have the utility gunzip
installed on your system, then download the utility from the following Web site:
http://www.gzip.org
Install the gunzip
utility.
Download the TAR file oradev.tar.gz
. This file contains Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Developer. Obtain the file at the following Web site:
http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxamdsoft.html
Log in as the oracle
user.
Create the directory /Users/oracle/
9ir3
, where the variable 9ir3
is the name of the directory in which you want to install Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Developer.
Untar the file oradev.tar.gz into the directory you created in step 9. The following code example uses the directory name 9ir3
:
cd /Users/oracle/9ir3 tar xvcf oradev.tar.gz;
Running this tar command creates the directory OraHome1
in the ORACLE_HOME directory. With the preceding code example, the ORACLE_HOME directory path is created in the directory /Users/oracle/9ir3/OraHome1
.
Use the following procedure to create the database:
From the ORACLE_HOME directory, change directories to DBcreate.
Use the following command to run the script set_ulimit
, which sets system limits:
../set_ulimit
Use the following command syntax to run the script DBENV, which sets required environment variables:
../DBENV ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_SID
In the preceding syntax example:
ORACLE_HOME is the path for ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID is the database instance identifier, which should not exceed 8 characters.
For example, if ORACLE_HOME is the path /Users/oracle/9ir3/OraHome1
, and ORACLE_SID is a01
, then enter the following command:
../DBENV /Users/oracle/9ir3/OraHome1 a01
Using the script createDB, enter the following command to create the database:
./createDB
The database is created. This process takes some time to complete.
During database creation, a log file is created in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log
. The log file name is alert_
ORACLE_SID
.log
, where the variable ORACLE_SID
is the system identifier name you entered in step 3.
After installation is complete, shut down the database and start it up again. A restart ensures a clean database instance.
Enter the following SQL command to shut down the database:
SQL> shutdown immediate
Enter the following SQL command to start up the database:
SQL> startup
At this point, the database is started up, and available for use.
Complete the following procedure to configure SQL*Net:
From the ORACLE_HOME directory, change directory to DBCreate
.
Enter the following command to run the script listener.sh, which creates the listener.ora
file:
./listener.sh
Enter the following command to run the script tnsnames.sh, which creates the tnsnames.ora
file:
./tnsnames.sh
To start the listener process, enter the following command:
lsnrctl start
To stop the listener process, enter the following command:
lsnrctl stop
