Specify Source Location

Use this page to enter the full path stage location of your product. Do not leave this field blank.

Usage Tips

Path: Enter the full path of the products.xml file from which the product(s) are to be installed. You can also click Browse to find the products.xml file or select it from the drop-down list.

The stage location is the centralized location where components have been placed for installations. The location could be a single-CD staging area or a multi-CD staging area that spans across more than one disk. The components are bundled in one stage location and their description file is the products.xml file. OUI reads this file and provides a list of the components available to be installed.

Examples: The stage location can be a local CD-ROM drive, a network drive, or a web location. See the examples in the following table.

Stage Location	Example
CD-ROM Location	`D:\<directory_name>\products.xml` which is pre-populated when you run OUI from a CD-ROM. (Windows) `/root/home/<directory_name>/products.xml` (UNIX) Note: If you are installing a product from multiple CD-ROMs, see Installing from Multiple CD-ROMs.
Network Drive	`\\<directory_name>\Disk1\install\products.xml` (Windows) `/net/<directory_name>/Disk1/stage1/products.xml` (UNIX)
Web Location	To set up any web server, you need to place a stage on a web server location. Access files by pointing a browser to your web location: `http://<webserver>:<port>/<my_stage>/stage/products.xml` For example: `http://www.oracle.com:81/Disk1/stage1/products.xml`

Note : In AddLangs mode you need to select the full path location of the Oracle home (products.xml)containing the products to which you want to add languages.
