Installing Oracle Database Cache on the Origin Database System

The following topics describe steps necessary to install Oracle Database Cache on the same machine as the origin database:

• Introduction

• Bypassing Oracle Database Cache Configuration Assistant

• Modifying the listener.ora File

Introduction

To install and run Oracle Database Cache and the origin database on the same machine, you must take special steps before and during installation.

For example, unless you take the steps described here, the Oracle Database Cache Configuration Assistant will fail when it attempts to connect with the origin database because the database had been shut down before launching the installer.

This section guides you through the configuration steps necessary to install and run Oracle Database Cache on the same machine as the origin database.

Bypassing Oracle Database Cache Configuration Assistant

1. When the Oracle Database Cache Configuration Assistant launches, it will fail. The following error is displayed:

   Starting tnslsnr: please wait...
   Failed to open service <OracleicacheTNSListner>, error 1060.
   .
   .
   .
   
   

2. Allow the Starting Oracle HTTP service to complete, click Next. You will be notified that Oracle9i Application Server was successfully installed, but some configuration tools failed. Quit the installer by clicking Exit.

3. Set the default home to Oracle Database Cache home.

4. Reboot the system.

Modifying the listener.ora File

Modify the listener.ora file on the Oracle Database Cache installation.

1. Change the port number in the following entry:

   (DESCRIPTION =
        (PROTOCOL_STACK = 
        (PRESENTATION = GIOP)
        (SESSION = RAW)
   )
   (ADDRESS = 
        (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = <machine_name.us.oracle.com) (PORT = 2481)
   )
   
   

Note that the port number you pick must not conflict with any port numbers you have on your system.

2. Start you listener.

3. Run the following command from the command line to launch the Oracle Database Cache Configuration Assistant:

   prompt> wtacca -create -typical
   
   

Complete the configuration using the Configuration Assistant, and then post-installation tasks.
