What Is Console-Mode Installation?

Console-mode installation is the text-based method of executing the Oracle Installation program. It can be run only on UNIX systems and is intended for UNIX systems with non-graphics consoles. Console-mode installation offers the same capabilities as graphics-based installation

Before You Start

If you are upgrading from Oracle WebLogic Enterprise or Oracle Tuxedo 9.1 or earlier software, see Upgrading the Oracle Tuxedo System to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) on page 5‑1 and follow the instructions given there. Then return here to continue your Oracle Tuxedo installation.

Starting Console-Mode Installation

To start the console-mode installation process, follow these steps:

1.	Select a UNIX system that meets the hardware and software requirements described in Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) Platform Data Sheets on page A‑1.

2.	Log in to the UNIX system as the Oracle Tuxedo administrator.

3.	Ensure that you have enough free space for the Oracle Tuxedo installation.

For disk space requirements, see Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) Platform Data Sheets on page A‑1. For important disk space allocation information, see File and Database Management and Disk Space Allocation on page C‑1.

4.	Install Oracle Tuxedo by downloading from the Oracle Web site:

a.	Go to http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html and download the Oracle Tuxedo 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.0) installation file specific to your platform.

b.	Go to the directory where you downloaded the installer and invoke the installation procedure by entering the following command:

prompt> sh filename.bin -i console

where filename is the name of the Oracle Tuxedo installer file.

5.	Proceed to Running Console-Mode Installation on page 3‑3.

Running Console-Mode Installation

You must enter a number to select a component.
Choose Oracle Home Directory	Specify the Oracle Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all Oracle products installed on the target system. If you already have a Oracle Home directory on your system, you can select that directory (recommended) or create a new Oracle Home directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the Oracle Tuxedo installer program will automatically create the directory for you. For details about the Oracle Home directory, see Oracle Home Directory on page 1‑10. Enter 1 to create a new Oracle Home directory or, if you already have a Oracle Home directory on your system, enter 2 to select an existing Oracle Home directory. Be sure to use the full pathname when specifying a new Oracle Home directory. For example: ==================================================== Choose Oracle Home -------------------------     1- Create a New Oracle Home     2- Use Existing Oracle Home Enter a number: 2     1- /home3/oracle     2- /home2/oraclehome Existing Oracle Home: 1 ==================================================== In this example, we enter 2 to display the Oracle Home directories that have already been created on this system. At the Existing Oracle Home prompt, we enter 1 to specify /home3/Oracle as the Oracle Home directory for this installation. Make sure that you enter the number associated with the Oracle Home directory instead of the directory name. If a previous Tuxedo installation is in the existing directory you selected, the following screen appears: ==================================================== A previous installation of Tuxedo 11gR1 has been detected at /home3/Oracle. The following options are available:     1- Continue to install over /home3/oracle     2- Cancel to select another Oracle Home Directory: CHOOSE A NUMBER: ====================================================
Choose Product Directory	Specify the directory in which you want to install the Oracle Tuxedo software. You may select the default product directory (tuxedo11gR1) or create a new product directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the Oracle Tuxedo installer will automatically create the directory for you. The initial default installs the product directory under the Oracle Home directory you specified in the previous section. To accept this default, enter 2 at the prompt. The choices displayed in this section are as follows: =================================================== Choose Product Directory ------------------------     1- Modify Current Selection (/home3/oracle/tuxedo11gR1)     2- Use Current Selection (/home3/oracle/tuxedo11gR1) Enter a number: =================================================== • Enter 1 to select an alternate directory.

When you press Enter, your modified selection appears as the default.     1- Modify Current Selection (/home3/mytux10g.R3)     2- Use Current Selection (/home3/mytux10g.R3) Enter a number: • Enter 2 to accept the current selection. If you enter 2 at the initial prompt, you accept the default product directory (/home3/oracle/tuxedo11gR1 in this example).

Configure tlisten Service	Enter a tlisten password of your choice. Your password must be a string of alphanumeric characters in clear-text format that is no more than 80 characters in length. You use this password to log in to the Oracle Tuxedo Administration Console. Oracle Tuxedo uses the tlisten password to protect the local machine from administrative requests and operations that are not authorized.
