Support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

Oracle Database is supported on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 with the 10.2.0.4 release. Use the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista x64 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 media available in the 10.2.0.4 media pack and the Oracle Technology Network site. Do not install Oracle Database on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 using the media for Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows.

Note:
Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Workflow are not supported on any of the Windows x64 operating systems.

Managing User Accounts with User Account Control on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

To ensure that only trusted applications run on your computer, Windows Vista provides User Account Control. If you have enabled this security feature, then, depending on how you have configured it, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you for either your consent or your credentials when installing Oracle Database. Provide either the consent or your Windows Administrator credentials as appropriate.

You must have Administrator privileges to run some Oracle tools, such as Database Configuration Assistant, Net Configuration Assistant, and OPatch, or to run any tool or application that writes to any directory within the Oracle home. If User Account Control is enabled, and you are logged in as the local Administrator, then you can successfully run each of these commands in the usual way. However, if you are logged in as "a member of the Administrator group," then you must explicitly invoke these tasks with Windows Administrator privileges.

See Also:
"Starting Database Tools on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008" in Oracle Database Platform Guide for Microsoft Windows (x64) for more information

To run a Windows shortcut with Windows Administrator privileges:

1. Click the Start menu button.

2. Navigate to Programs, then to Oracle - HOME_NAME.

3. Right-click the name of the command or application you want to run, then select Run as administrator.

To start a command prompt window with Windows Administrator privileges:

1. On your desktop, create a shortcut for the command prompt window. An icon for that shortcut appears on the desktop.

2. Right-click the icon for the newly created shortcut, and specify "Run as administrator."

When you open this window, the title bar reads Administrator: Command Prompt. Commands run from within this window are run with Administrator privileges.

- Legato Single Server Version (LSSV) is no longer supported on Oracle Database. Oracle Database Recovery Manager (RMAN), which is a backup and recovery tool integrated into Oracle Database. Oracle Database Backup and Recovery Basics covers RMAN in more detail.

1.2.1 Oracle JDBC Development Drivers

Oracle provides a set of JDBC drivers that you can use for debugging your code and other deployment scenarios. These drivers can access Oracle Database release 10.2.0.1 or later.

See Also:

- Oracle Technology Network (http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html) for more information on Oracle JDBC Drivers and Oracle Call Interface

- Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide

1.2.2 Oracle SQLJ

Oracle SQLJ enables applications programmers to embed SQL operations in Java code in a way that is compatible with the Java design philosophy. A SQLJ program is a Java program containing embedded SQL statements. Oracle SQLJ offers extensions to support dynamic SQL operations—those that are not predefined, where the operations themselves can change in real-time. It is also possible to use dynamic SQL operations through JDBC code or PL/SQL code within a SQLJ application. Typical applications contain much more static SQL than dynamic SQL. SQLJ has both a translator and a runtime component and is smoothly integrated into your development environment.

1.2.3 Oracle Database Examples

Oracle Database Examples include a variety of examples and product demonstrations that you can use to learn about the products, options, and features of Oracle Database. Many of these examples are designed to work with the Sample Schemas which you can optionally install in any Oracle database. Many of the documents in the Oracle Online Documentation Library use the example programs and scripts provided with the Oracle Database Examples.

1.2.3.1 Required Products

Before you can use the Oracle Database Examples, you must install the Sample Schemas into an Oracle database. When you install Oracle Database, or use Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to create a new database, you can choose to include the Sample Schemas when you create the database. You can also manually install the Sample Schemas into an existing database.

See Also:
Oracle Database Sample Schemas for information about manually installing the Sample Schemas into an existing database

1.2.4 Oracle Text Supplied Knowledge Bases

The Oracle Database 10g Products installation type installs two Oracle Text knowledge bases, English and French. You can extend the supplied knowledge bases depending on your requirements. Alternatively, you can create your own knowledge bases, in languages other than English and French.

See Also:
Oracle Text Reference for more information about creating and extending knowledge bases

1.2.5 Oracle Ultra Search

You can use Oracle Ultra Search to build different kinds of search applications. It lets you index and search Web sites, database tables, files, mailing lists, Oracle Application Server Portals, and user-defined data sources.

1.2.6 Natively Compiled Java Libraries

The Oracle Database 10g Products installation type installs JAccelerator and Oracle interMedia Image Accelerator which contains the natively compiled Java libraries (NCOMPs) for Oracle JVM and Oracle interMedia. These libraries are required to improve the performance of these products on your platform.

1.2.7 JPublisher

JPublisher is a Java utility that generates Java classes to represent the following user-defined database entities in a Java program:

- SQL object types

- Object reference types (REF types)

- SQL collection types (VARRAY types or nested table types)

- PL/SQL packages

- Server-side Java classes

- SQL queries and DML statements

You can use JPublisher to specify and customize the mapping of SQL object types, object reference types, and collection types (VARRAYs or nested tables) to Java classes in a strongly typed paradigm.

JPublisher also can generate classes for PL/SQL packages. These classes have wrapper methods to invoke the stored procedures in the PL/SQL packages.

In addition, JPublisher simplifies access to PL/SQL-only types from Java. You can employ predefined or user-defined mappings between PL/SQL and SQL types, as well as use PL/SQL conversion functions between such types. With such type correspondences in place, JPublisher can automatically generate the required Java and PL/SQL code.

In a similar way that SQL or PL/SQL entities publish to Java, you can publish server-side Java classes to client-side Java classes. Doing this enables applications to make direct calls to Java classes in the database.JPublisher lets you expose generated Java classes as Web services, for example. You can publish either SQL or PL/SQL entities or server-side Java entities.

JPublisher uses SQLJ code in most Java classes that it generates, so it includes Oracle SQLJ Translator and Oracle SQLJ Runtime. Oracle SQLJ is a standard way to embed SQL statements in Java programs.

Oracle SQLJ Translator

Because JPublisher uses SQLJ code in its generated classes, it automatically invokes the Oracle SQLJ translator during the code generation process, as necessary. The translator converts embedded SQL statements into JDBC calls.

Oracle SQLJ Runtime

Oracle SQLJ Runtime is used during program execution to execute most classes that were generated by JPublisher. SQLJ Runtime is a thin layer of pure Java code that runs above the JDBC driver. It acts as an intermediary that reads information about SQL operations and passing instructions along to the JDBC driver.

See Also:
Oracle Database Companion CD Quick Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows (x64)

2.2 Hardware and Software Certifications

The platform-specific hardware and software requirements included in this installation guide were current at the time this guide was published. However, because new platforms and operating system software versions might be certified after this guide is published, review the certification matrix on the OracleMetaLink Web site for the most up-to-date list of certified hardware platforms and operating system versions. The OracleMetaLink Web site is available at the following URL:

https://metalink.oracle.com/

You must register online before using OracleMetaLink. After logging in, select Certify & Availability from the left-hand column. From the Product Lifecycle page, select the Certifications button. Other Product Lifecycle options include Product Availability, Desupport Notices, and Alerts.

The following sections list the following certification information:

- Windows Telnet Services Support

- Windows Terminal Services and Remote Desktop Support

2.2.1 Windows Telnet Services Support

All the Windows x64 operating systems include a Telnet Service that allows remote users to log on to the operating system and run console programs using the command line. Oracle supports the use of command line utilities using this feature, but does not support the database GUI tools such as Oracle Universal Installer, Database Configuration Assistant, and Oracle Net Configuration Assistant.

Note:
Make sure that the Telnet service is started on the Windows Services utility.

2.2.2 Windows Terminal Services and Remote Desktop Support

Oracle supports installing, configuring, and running Oracle Database through Terminal Services on Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. If you encounter problems with the installation through Terminal Server, Oracle recommends that you try connecting to the Terminal Services console session of the server (using mstsc/console).

You can configure Windows 2003 to use Terminal Services in Remote Desktop for Administration Mode or Terminal Server Mode. For Windows XP and Windows Vista, the Remote Desktop is only avialable in Single User Mode. You can have multiple Remote Desktop sessions on Windows Server 2008.

See Also:

- The Microsoft Web site for more information about terminal services
http://www.microsoft.com/

- The OracleMetaLink Web site for the latest Terminal Server certification information
https://metalink.oracle.com/

2.3 Network Topics

Typically, the computer on which you want to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products is connected to the network, has local storage to contain this installation, has a display monitor, and has a DVD drive.

This section describes how to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products on computers that do not meet the typical scenario. It covers the following cases:

- Installing on DHCP Computers

- Installing on Computers with Multiple IP Addresses

- Installing on Computers with Multiple Aliases

- Installing a Loopback Adapter

2.3.1 Installing on DHCP Computers

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses on a network. Dynamic addressing allows a computer to have a different IP address each time it connects to the network. In some cases, the IP address can change while the computer is still connected. You can have a mixture of static and dynamic IP addressing in a DHCP system.

In a DHCP setup, the software tracks IP addresses, which simplifies network administration. This lets you add a new computer to the network without having to manually assign that computer a unique IP address. However, before installing the Oracle Database Companion CD products onto a computer that uses the DHCP protocol, you need to install a loopback adapter to assign a local IP address to that computer.

See also:
"Checking if a Loopback Adapter Is Installed on Your Computer"

2.3.2 Installing on Computers with Multiple IP Addresses

You can install Oracle Database on a computer that has multiple IP addresses, also known as multihomed computer. Typically, a multihomed computer has multiple network cards. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a host name; additionally, you can set up aliases for the host name. By default, Oracle Universal Installer uses the ORACLE_HOSTNAME environment variable setting to find the host name. If ORACLE_HOSTNAME is not set and you are installing on a computer that has multiple network cards, Oracle Universal Installer determines the hostname by using the first name in the hosts file (typically located in SYSTEM_DRIVE:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc on Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008).

Clients must be able to access the computer using this hostname (or using aliases for this hostname). To check, ping the hostname from the client computers using the short name (hostname only) and the full name (hostname and domain name). Both must work.

Setting the ORACLE_HOSTNAME Environment Variable

To set the ORACLE_HOSTNAME environment variable:

1. Display System in the Windows Control Panel.

2. In the System Properties dialog box, click Advanced.

3. In the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

4. In the Environment Variables dialog box, under System Variables, click New.

5. In the New System Variable dialog box, enter the following information:

- Variable name: ORACLE_HOSTNAME

- Variable value: The hostname of the computer that you want to use.

6. Click OK, then in the the Environment Variables dialog box, click OK.

7. Click OK in the Environment Variables dialog box, then in the System Properties dialog box, click OK.

2.3.3 Installing on Computers with Multiple Aliases

A computer with multiple aliases is registered with the naming service under a single IP but with multiple aliases. The naming service resolves any of those aliases to the same computer. Before installing Oracle Database on such a computer, set the ORACLE_HOSTNAME environment variable to the computer whose hostname you want to use.

2.3.4 Installing a Loopback Adapter

When you install a loopback adapter, the loopback adapter assigns a local IP for your computer. After you install a loopback adapter on your computer, you have at least two network adapters on your computer: your own network adapter and the loopback adapter. The Oracle Database Companion CD products need to have Windows using the loopback adapter as the primary adapter.

The primary adapter is determined by the order in which you installed the adapters: it is the last adapter installed. If you install additional network adapters after you install the loopback adapter, you need to deinstall the loopback adapter and reinstall it.

A loopback adapter is required if you are installing on a DHCP computer.

See Also:
"Installing on DHCP Computers"

The procedure for installing a loopback adapter depends on the version of Windows on which you plan to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products:

- Checking if a Loopback Adapter Is Installed on Your Computer

- Installing a Loopback Adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP

- Installing a Loopback Adapter on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008

- Removing a Loopback Adapter

2.3.4.1 Checking if a Loopback Adapter Is Installed on Your Computer

To check if a loopback adapter is installed on your computer, run the ipconfig /all command:

c:\> ipconfig /all

If there is a loopback adapter installed, you would see a section that lists the values for the loopback adapter. For example:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Microsoft Loopback Adapter
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 02-00-4C-4F-4F-50
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.25.129
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0

A Installing Oracle Database Companion CD Using Response Files

This appendix covers the following topics:

- How Response Files Work

- Preparing a Response File

- Running Oracle Universal Installer Using the Response File

A.1 How Response Files Work

You can automate the installation and configuration of Oracle software, either fully or partially, by specifying a response file when you start Oracle Universal Installer. Oracle Universal Installer uses the values that you entered in the response file to provide answers to some or all of Oracle Universal Installer prompts.

Typically, Oracle Universal Installer runs in interactive mode, which means that it prompts you to provide information in graphical user interface (GUI) screens. When you use response files to provide this information, you run Oracle Universal Installer at a command prompt using either of the following modes:

- Silent mode: Oracle Universal Installer does not display any screens. Instead it displays progress information in the command window where you started it. To use silent mode, you run setup.exe with the -silent parameter and include a response file, which contains responses to the Oracle Universal Installer prompts.

- Noninteractive (or suppressed) mode: Oracle Universal Installer only displays screens for which you did not supply information in the response file. You can use variables in the response file or command-line prompts to suppress other Oracle Universal Installer screens, such as Welcome and Summary, that do not prompt for information. To use noninteractive mode, run setup.exe without the -silent parameter, but include the response file or any other parameters that apply.

You define the settings for a silent or noninteractive installation by entering values for the variables listed in the response file. For instance, to specify the Oracle home name, you would supply the appropriate value for the ORACLE_HOME_NAME variable, as in the following example:

ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraDBHome1

Another way of specifying the response file's variable settings is to pass them as command line arguments when you run Oracle Universal Installer. For example:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\setup.exe_location> setup -silent "ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDBHome1" ...

This method is particularly useful if you do not want to embed sensitive information, such as passwords, in the response file. For example:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\setup.exe_location> setup -silent "s_sysPwdFresh=binks342" ...

Ensure that you enclose the variable and its setting in quotes.

See Also:
Oracle Universal Installer and OPatch User's Guide for more information about response file formats.

A.1.1 Reasons for Using Silent Mode or Noninteractive Mode

The following table describes several reasons why you might want to run Oracle Universal Installer in silent mode or noninteractive mode:

Table A-1 Reasons for Using Silent Mode or Noninteractive Mode

Mode

Uses

Silent

Use silent mode if you want to:

- Complete an unattended installation

- Complete several similar installations on multiple systems without user interaction

Oracle Universal Installer displays progress information in the terminal that you used to start it, but it does not display the Oracle Universal Installer screens.

Noninteractive

Use noninteractive mode if you want to complete similar Oracle software installations on more than one system, providing default answers to some, but not all of Oracle Universal Installer prompts.

If you do not specify information required for a particular Installer screen in the response file, Oracle Universal Installer displays that screen. It suppresses screens for which you have provided all of the required information.

A.1.2 General Procedure for Using Response Files

You will follow these general steps to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products using response files:

1. Customize or create a response file for the installation settings that you need.
You can create the response file by using either of the following methods:

- Modifying one of the sample response files that are provided with the installation.

- Running Oracle Universal Installer at a command prompt using record mode.

"Preparing a Response File" explains how to customize or create the response file.

2. Run Oracle Universal Installer from a command prompt, specifying the response file, using either silent or noninteractive mode.
"Running Oracle Universal Installer Using the Response File" explains how to run Oracle Universal Installer with a response file.

A.2 Preparing a Response File

This section describes the methods that you can use to prepare a response file for use during silent-mode or noninteractive-mode installations:

- Editing a Response File Template

- Recording a Response File

A.2.1 Editing a Response File Template

Oracle provides a response file template for the Oracle Database 10g Products installation type called companionCD.db.rsp, which you can find in the companion\response directory on the Oracle Database installation media.

Creating a response file using a response file template is most useful for the Enterprise Edition or Standard Edition installation types.

To copy and modify a response file:

1. Copy the appropriate response files from the companion\Response directory on the Oracle Database media to your hard drive.

2. Modify the response files with a text file editor.
In addition to editing settings specific to the Oracle Database Companion CD products installation, check that the FROM_LOCATION path is correct and points to the products.xml file in the stage directory in the installation media. You may want to set this variable to point to an absolute path, for example:

FROM_LOCATION="\\myserver\companion\stage\products.xml"

Remember that you can specify sensitive information, such as passwords, at the command line rather than within the response file. "How Response Files Work" explains this method.

See Also:
Oracle Universal Installer and OPatch User's Guide for detailed information on creating response files. In an installed Oracle Database, select Start, then Programs, then Oracle - HOME_NAME, then Oracle Installation Products, then Universal Installer Concepts Guide. It appears in HTML format.

3. Run the response file by following the instructions in the "Running Oracle Universal Installer Using the Response File" section.

A.2.2 Recording a Response File

You can create a response file by running Oracle Universal Installer in interactive mode using record mode. This method is most useful for custom or software-only installations.

Recording the response file generates the response file immediately after you complete the Summary window, so you do not need to actually install the Oracle Database Companion CD products to create the response file. After you create the response file in this manner, you can customize it to your needs.

If you want to use record mode during a noninteractive mode installation, Oracle Universal Installer records the variable values that were specified in the original source response file into the new response file.

Note:
You cannot use record mode to create a response file based on the Basic installation type.

To record a response file:

1. Ensure that the computer on which you are creating the response file has met the requirements in Chapter 1.

2. At the command prompt, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the Oracle Universal Installer setup.exe executable.
On the installation DVD, setup.exe is located in the db directory. Alternatively, navigate to the directory where you downloaded or copied the installation files.

3. Enter the following command:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\setup.exe_location> setup -record -destinationFile response_file_name

Replace response_file_name with the complete path for the new response file. For example:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\setup.exe_location> setup -record -destinationFile c:\response_files\install_oracle10_2.rsp

4. After Oracle Universal Installer launches, enter the installation settings, which will be recorded into the response file.

5. When the Summary window appears, do one of the following:

- Click Install to create the response file and continue with the installation.

- Click Cancel if you only want to create the response file but not continue with the installation. The installation will stop, but the settings you have entered will be recorded in the response file.

Afterwards, Oracle Universal Installer saves your new response file using the path and file name you specified on the command line.

6. Edit the new response file to have any environment-specific changes for the computer on which you will run it.
In addition to editing settings specific to the Oracle Database Companion CD products installation, check that the FROM_LOCATION path is correct and points to the products.xml file in the stage directory in the installation media. You may want to set this variable to point to an absolute path, for example:

FROM_LOCATION="\\myserver\companion\response\stage\products.xml"

Remember that you can specify sensitive information, such as passwords, at the command line rather than within the response file. "How Response Files Work" explains this method.

7. Run the response file by following the instructions in the "Running Oracle Universal Installer Using the Response File" section, next.

A.3 Running Oracle Universal Installer Using the Response File

At this stage, you are ready to run Oracle Universal Installer at the command line, specifying the response file you created, to perform the installation. The Oracle Universal Installer executable, setup.exe, provides several options. For help information on the full set of these options, run setup.exe with the -help option, for example:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\setup.exe_location> setup -help

A new command window appears, with the "Preparing to launch..." message. In a moment, the help information appears in that window.

To run Oracle Universal Installer and specify a response file:

1. Place the response file on the computer where you want to install the Oracle Database Companion CD products.

2. At a command prompt, run Oracle Universal Installer with the appropriate response file. For example:

SYSTEM_DRIVE:\setup.exe_location> setup [-silent] "variable=setting" [-nowelcome] [-noconfig] [-nowait] -responseFile filename

where:

- filename: Identifies the full path of the response file.

- -silent: Runs Oracle Universal Installer in silent mode and suppresses the Welcome window. When you use -silent, then the -nowelcome option is not necessary.

- "variable=setting" refers to a variable within the response file that you may prefer to run at the command line rather than set in the response file. Enclose the variable and its setting in quotes.

- -nowelcome: Suppresses the Welcome window that appears during installation.

- -noconfig: Suppresses running the configuration assistants during installation, performing a software-only installation instead.

- -nowait: Closes the console window when the silent installation completes.

C Managing Oracle Companion CD Port Numbers

This appendix lists the default port numbers and describes how to change the assigned port after installation:

- About Managing Ports

- Viewing Port Numbers and Access URLS

- Port Numbers and Protocols of Oracle Components

- Changing the Oracle Ultra Search Ports

C.1 About Managing Ports

During installation, Oracle Universal Installer assigns port numbers to components from a set of default port numbers. Many Oracle Database components and services use ports. As an administrator, it is important to know the port numbers used by these services, and to make sure that the same port number is not used by two services on your host.

Most port numbers are assigned during installation. Every component and service has an allotted port range, which is the set of port numbers Oracle Database attempts to use when assigning a port. Oracle Database starts with the lowest number in the range and performs the following checks:

- Is the port used by another Oracle Database installation on the host?
The installation may be up or down at the time; Oracle Database can still detect if the port is used.

- Is the port used by a process that is currently running?
This could be any process on the host, even a non-Oracle Database process.

If the answer to any of the preceding questions is yes, Oracle Database moves to the next highest port in the allotted port range and continues checking until it finds a free port.

C.2 Viewing Port Numbers and Access URLS

In most cases, the Oracle Database component's port number is listed in the tool used to configure the port. In addition, ports for some Oracle Database applications are listed in the portlist.ini file. This file is located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\install.

If you change a port number, it is not updated in the portlist.ini file, so you can only rely on this file immediately after installation. To find or change a port number, use the methods described in this appendix.

C.3 Port Numbers and Protocols of Oracle Components

The following table lists the port numbers and protocols used by components that are configured during the installation. By default, the first port in the range is assigned to the component, if it is available.

TCP

C.4 Changing the Oracle Ultra Search Ports

The following sections describe how to change the Oracle Ultra Search ports.

Changing the HTTP Port

To change the HTTP port, modify the port attribute of the web-site element in the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_SEARCH\config\http-web-site.xml file:

<web-site port="5620"...>

Changing the RMI Port

To change the RMI port, modify the port attribute of the rmi-server element in the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_SEARCH\config\rmi.xml file:

<rmi-server port="5640"...>

Changing the JMS Port

To change the JMS port, modify the port attribute of the jms-server element in the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\oc4j\j2ee\OC4J_SEARCH\config\jms.xml file:

<jms-server port="5660"...>

D Troubleshooting the Oracle Database Companion CD Installation

This appendix contains the following information on troubleshooting:

- Verifying Requirements

- Reviewing a Log of an Installation Session

- Cleaning Up After a Failed Installation

- Silent or Noninteractive Installation Response File Error Handling

D.1 Verifying Requirements

Before you try any of the troubleshooting steps in this appendix, do the following:

- Check Chapter 2, "Oracle Database Companion CD Requirements" to make sure that the system meets the requirements and that you have completed all of the preinstallation tasks.

- Read the release notes for the product on your platform before installing it. The release notes are available on the Oracle Database installation media. You can find the latest version of the release notes on the Oracle Technology Network Web site:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/index.html

D.2 Reviewing a Log of an Installation Session

Oracle Universal Installer creates the DRIVE_LETTER:\ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\Inventory\logs directory the first time it runs to record an inventory of products that it installs on your system as well as other installation information.

The log file is named installActionsdate_time.log, where date_time is the date and time of the installation. For example, installActions2004-055-14_09-00-56-am.log.

You can also view a list of installed components by clicking Installed Products on any window of Oracle Universal Installer.

Note:
Do not delete or manually alter the Inventory directory or its contents. Doing so can prevent Oracle Universal Installer from locating products that you install on your system.
The installActionsdate_time.log file contains a log of actions executed during the installation process. This file also records any link errors during installation. Do not delete or alter the installActionsdate_time.log file.

D.3 Cleaning Up After a Failed Installation

If an installation fails, you must remove files that Oracle Universal Installer created during the attempted installation and remove the Oracle home directory. Perform the following steps to remove the files:

1. Insert Oracle Database installation media and navigate to the companion directory. Alternatively, navigate to the directory where you downloaded or copied the installation files. Then double-click setup.exe to start Oracle Universal Installer.

2. Click Deinstall Products on the Welcome window or Installed Products available on any Oracle Universal Installer window. The Inventory window appears, listing installed products.

3. Select the products that you want to remove and click Remove.

Note:
If you have more than one installation on the system, products installed in other Oracle homes appear in the Inventory window. If you select products from other Oracle homes, they are deinstalled.

D.4 Silent or Noninteractive Installation Response File Error Handling

To determine whether a silent or nonintereactive installation succeeds or fails, check the silentInstallActionsdate_time.log file, located in the DRIVE_LETTER:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs directory.

A silent installation fails if:

- You do not specify a response file.

- You specify an incorrect or incomplete response file.
For example, a common problem is that while all the product-specific data is filled out correctly, the staging area location may be incorrect. If this is the case, check the FROM_LOCATION variable and make sure that it points to the products.xml file in the installation media. In the installation media, this products.xml is in companion\stage.

- Oracle Universal Installer encounters an error, such as insufficient disk space.

Oracle Universal Installer or a configuration assistant validates the response file at runtime. If the validation fails, the installation or configuration process ends. Oracle Universal Installer treats values for parameters that are of the wrong context, format, or type as if no value was specified in the file.
