This chapter describes how to install Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) Patch Set 1 on a UNIX computer.

This chapter includes the following topics:

You install the TMS database server code as part of your application tier installation. For instructions, see Chapter 5, "Installing the TMS Front End Components."

If you are upgrading to TMS 4.6.2, see Chapter 7.

2.1 Performing Prerequisite Tasks for Installing Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) Patch Set 1

To ensure that your platform meets the minimum requirements for installing the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) Patch Set 1 product, you must perform the following preparatory tasks:

2.1.1 Create Owners, Groups, and Mount Points

To create the software owner, required groups, and mount points:

  1. Create the software owner and groups:

    • Create a UNIX user to own the Oracle software. Typically, the user name is oracle.

    • Create two groups: one is the Oracle Inventory group; the other is the operating system DBA group. Typically, the group names are oinstall and dba, respectively.

  2. Create mount points owned by the oracle user:

    • Create a software mount point of at least 10 GB.

    • Create mount points to hold the database files, control files, and log files, respectively.

  3. Test permissions. Ensure that the oracle user can write to the new mount points and all subdirectories.

2.1.2 Configure Kernel Resources and Adjust Operating System Environment

The performance of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) Patch Set 1 relies on proper tuning of operating system parameters. In addition, if you are creating several Oracle instances, you might have to increase the amount of shared memory and semaphores on the system by setting kernel parameters.

For details, see the "Configure Kernel Parameters" section of the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Installation Guide for your operating system.

drwxrwxr-x  18 oracle    oinstall  1024 Apr 11 19:11 inventory
drwxrwxr-x   3 oracle    oinstall  1024 Apr 11 18:29 ContentsXML
