How to Configure the Oracle Application Server

Steps

1. Modify the /etc/system file.

   Add the following lines to your /etc/system file and reboot:

   * included for Oracle 
   set semsys:seminfo_semmap=80 
   set semsys:seminfo_semmni=2200
   set semsys:seminfo_semmns=2200 
   set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=2000 
   set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=256 
   set semsys:seminfo_semopm=210 
   set semsys:seminfo_semume=600 
   set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 
   set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100 
   set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 
   set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100

2. Add an Oracle database group to the /etc/group file.

   Edit the /etc/group file on the system on which you intend to install the Oracle Application Server product and add the following line:

   dba::120:

3. Add an Oracle user to the /etc/passwd file.

   Edit the /etc/passwd file on the system on which you intend to install the Oracle Application Server product and add the following line:

   oracle:x:500:120::/export/home/oracle:/bin/csh 

4. Synchronize the /etc/shadow file.

   Use the following command: pwconv

5. Activate the Oracle user account.

   Use the passwd oraclecommand and provide a password for the Oracle user.

6. If your system is in NIS and an Oracle account or dba group is already in the NIS maps, verify the configuration of the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

   Make sure that files appears before nis in the passwd entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

   Note –

   Use the same definition of Oracle and dba in all systems.
