Setup Oracle Database 10g

In this chapter, the installation of Oracle software and a starter database using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) will be examined. Readers are also requested to refer to the appropriate reference platform-dependent manuals for more details.  Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool that allows installation and removal of the software on appropriate platforms. 

Oracle Database 10g Prerequisites

Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) checks the environment to verify that it meets the minimum requirements for successful installation. This early analysis for potential problems with the system setup reduces any chances of problems during the installation process.

OUI performs all pre-requisite checks defined for the installation process before installing any software. These checks include OUI-specific verifications and those defined for a specific product for the particular operating system on which OUI runs. All pre-requisite check parameters must be defined in the oraparam.ini file or another user-defined .ini file. All results are logged in the installActions<timestamp>.log file.
