Execute Configuration Scripts

This window appears prompting you to run a shell script from another terminal window before proceeding with the installation.

You will be prompted to run either all or any one of the following shell scripts:

Shell Script Name Description

Shell Script Name	Description
`root.sh`	Various installation operations on the UNIX platform must be performed with root privileges. Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to run `root.sh` if the software that you are installing needs some configuration like creating files, editing files or starting services. Note: Do not exit from the Installer to run the script.
`oraInstroot.sh`	This script creates the inventory pointer file `oraInst.loc` in either the `/var/opt/oracle` or `/etc` directory, depending on your platform, if you are installing Oracle software using OUI for the first time. This enables OUI to set up the central inventory on a clean machine. It also creates the Oracle Inventory directory and sets the correct group owner and permissions on it. To register the new inventory, run the following script as the `root` user in a separate terminal window: `oracle_inventory_directory/oraInstroot.sh` For Oracle Real Application Clusters installations, run the script on all of the nodes on which you are installing the software. Please ensure that you do not exit from the Installer to run the script.
`rootaddnode.sh`	This script is used to perform an addnode to Cluster Ready Services home. To add node to a Cluster Ready Service: Run the `rootaddnode.sh` script on the local node to update the inventory on the pre-existing nodes. Run `root.sh` on the new nodes.
