Pre-installation Tasks
Install operating system and
J2SE patch clusters as needed. OS patch installs generally require a reboot.
Create a UNIX account owner
(and group, if this is the first Oracle product installed on your system) for
the iDS files. You can create the owner (group) with the useradd (groupadd)
command, admintool (Solaris 8), smc (Solaris 9), or manually edit the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files followed by issuing the pwconv
command. The name of the account used for this example and throughout the
remainder of this guide is ids. Below is an example of the lines you can add
to the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files:
/etc/passwd
ids:x:105:20001::/opt1/ora9ids:/bin/csh
/etc/group
dba::20001:ids
oinstall::20002:ids
As root, create the home
directory for ids and change ownership of that directory to ids:
root@sun5: mkdir /opt1/ora9ids
root@sun5: chown -R ids:dba /opt1/ora9ids
After editing these files as
root, and issuing the pwconv command, the UNIX user account named ids is
created with a userid of 105. The user named ids has a home directory of
/opt1/ora9ids, has a default shell environment using the C-shell, and is a
member of the dba (primary) and oinstall groups. The dba and oinstall groups
were also created after the pwconv command if they did not already exist.
Become the user named ids by
issuing su - ids at a UNIX prompt. Create the following directory
structure for later use: mkdir
-p /opt1/ora9ids/app/oracle/product/9.0.2,
where /opt1/ora9ids matches the default home directory
Create a .cshrc file for ids by
using the sample provided at the end of this document. If you copied the
sample file, edit it as necessary. Ensure the DISPLAY environment variable is
set to where you want the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) image to appear.
Ensure the TMP environment variable points to a location where at least 500MB
of free space is available, such as the /tmp directory.
Installing Developer Suite and PatchSet 1
Assuming you are using a CD to
install iDS, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive. Solaris Volume Management
mounts the CD for you.
As the UNIX user named ids,
start the installation by issuing the following command:
ids@sun5: /cdrom/cdrom0/Disk1/runInstaller
or if installing via the
downloaded file,
ids@sun5: /<path to Disk1>/runInstaller
The Oracle Universal Installer
should start. Execute the steps indicated below for each window that appears.
These are the same windows that appear as screen shots in pages 3-2 to 3-17 of
Oracle's installation guide for iDS.

Run root.sh (this may appear
elsewhere in the sequence of events)
|
You will be directed to run
the root.sh script (as root) in the ORACLE_HOME directory. Use another shell
window as root to run this script. Enter a location for a local bin
directory. Ignore the error about ./network/agent html.

Oracle Net Configuration
Assistant windows (see Note below)
|
Same wizard used in other
Oracle products. In the windows that follow:
-
Leave "Perform Typical"
unchecked
-
Select No for Directory Usage
configuration
-
Use Local for Naming Methods
configuration
-
Provide the name of a local
database for Net Service Name configuration (typically uses port 1521 and
TCP)
|
|
End of Installation
|
Click Exit
|
NOTE: The Oracle Net
Configuration Assistant creates the tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files in
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. If you already have these files referenced by the
TNS_ADMIN environment variable, you can continue to use them. You can also copy
the two files from the database product location into
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin for Oracle9iDS.
Install PatchSet 1 for Oracle9i Developer Suite
As ids, copy the patch file on
the patch CD-ROM (p2729569_9021_SOLARIS.zip) to $ORACLE_HOME. Unzip the file
and cd to the $ORACLE_HOME/install/solaris directory and run the runInstaller
command (not the runInstaller.sh command). You can also unzip the file from a
remote directory into the ORACLE_HOME location.
The patch process requires an
upgrade of the Oracle Universal Installer, and that must be installed first.
