How to Install an Oracle MDB (Standalone)

Important! Make note of the values and passwords you enter in the installation wizard steps because you need them later when configuring the DSM manager.

The basic steps for installing the MDB on Oracle 11g in interactive mode are as follows:

1. Create an Oracle instance using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant if you have not already done so, and do the following:
   • Verify that the database instance name (SID) is the same as the Oracle service name (global name).
   • Enter appropriate values for the instance in the SGA Size and PGA Size fields on the Memory tab of the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant.
2. Run the appropriate script file on the target database server from the MDB directory:

   Valid on Windows

   setup.bat
   

   Valid on Solaris or Linux

   sh ./setup.sh
   

   The MDB Installer is launched and the first wizard page, Choose Setup Language, appears.

3. Accept English as the setup language.

   Note: The only available language for this release is English.

4. Accept the End User License Agreement.
5. (Windows only) Select the database type, Oracle Server, for this procedure.
6. Enter the path of the Oracle installation for the MDB in the ORACLE_HOME field, to define the working runtime Oracle environment.

   For remote MDB installation, enter the ORACLE_HOME value of your local computer.

7. Specify the Oracle database server name and MDB size.
8. Specify MDB user and database administrator credentials.

   Note: The default MDB user name is ca_itrm.

9. Specify advanced Oracle configuration settings, including Oracle service name, Oracle Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) name, port number, tablespace path, and MDB administrator password.
10. Review your database configuration options and confirm the installation by clicking the Install button.

    Installation begins and the MDB schema gets created in the Oracle database.

    Note: The MDB installer on Solaris displays a dialog that shows the Oracle version and operating environment prerequisite checks. With the new MDB installer, this dialog appears only if there are prerequisite failures; otherwise, the installation proceeds.

11. Install DSM manager when installation of the Oracle MDB is complete.

Note: The DSM manager uses EZCONNECT to connect to the Oracle MDB.
