Oracle EE Installation Part II

Let's continue with the second and third section of the Oracle EE Installation.

After all the pre-installation preparation, you can start install Oracle EE by issuing the following command:

$ /directory_path/runInstaller [-silent] [-noconfig] -responseFile responsefilename

For example,
./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /home/oracle/source/database/response/enterprise.rsp

You should be able to see the similar result during the installation:
oracle@linux:~/source/database> ./runInstaller -silent -responseFile /home/oracle/source/database/response/enterprise.rsp

Post Installation
After the installation, below are the steps you need to do for post installation:

Make sure ORACLE_HOME environment variable is set

Run the following configuration scripts:
a) Execute as root, /u01/app/oracle/product/xxx/xxx/root.sh

b) Goto sqlplus and login as SYSTEM
# sqlplus /nolog
SQL>connect as sysdba
SQL>system/system
SQL>@/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

c) At command prompt, run the following script
$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntst

Phew.. that's all for Silent Mode Oracle EE Installation. There are other places to look into as well, but will save it for other days. ^_^
