Granting User and Group Access Rights to Oracle Inventory Directories
Oracle Inventory contains files that provide the Oracle
Universal Installer with the locations of the ORACLE_HOME directories
on a particular machine. For Oracle Inventory to function properly,
the user that installs Oracle WebCenter Interaction must have access
rights to the directories that contain Oracle Inventory’s files. You
can set the user and group access rights for these directories by
running the ouais.sh shell script.
- Log in to the remote server host computer as the root user.
- Copy the ouais.sh script to the machine
onto which you will be installing Oracle WebCenter Interaction.
This script is located in the same location as the Oracle WebCenter
Interaction installer file.
- Change the current directory (cd) to be
the directory to which you copied the ouais.sh script.
- Run the ouais.sh shell script.
As arguments to the script, specify the ALI user and group
you created that will run the Oracle WebCenter Interaction installer.
For details, see User and Group Requirements.
For example, you would use the following command to
run the ouais.sh script from the root shell:
./ouais.sh -u <oracleuser> -g <oraclegroup>
The ouais.sh script creates the Oracle Inventory directory
if it did not exist before you ran the script. Additionally, the script
grants user and group ownership to the directories that contain the
files that are used by Oracle Inventory.
