How to Install Oracle Explorer With Limited Interaction

To upgrade or install Oracle Explorer with limited interaction, modify the Oracle Explorer defaults settings on host_A and then run explorer -g -d to use the settings from host_A when installing on other hosts (such as host_B). If host_B has an existing defaults file, Oracle Explorer uses the defined values whenever possible. If host_B does not have a defaults file, Oracle Explorer uses the host_A defaults file settings.

This procedure updates the modification date and EXP_DEF_VERSION variable, and replaces ${EXP_HOME}with /opt/SUNWexplo in the EXP_LIB variable.

Note –

The EXP_PLATFORM_NAME_$hostid, EXP_SERIAL_$hostid, and EXP_ZONES settings are not saved in the defaults file. If you use those settings, run the Oracle Explorer installation on each system.

Perform the following steps to upgrade or install using limited interaction:

  1. Install Oracle Explorer on host_A using pkgadd.

  2. Run explorer -g on host_A to accept the license and update or create the defaults file.

  3. Save the defaults file.

    The file must be located in the directory that other hosts are able to access.

  4. Install the new Oracle Explorer release on another system (host_B).

  5. Run explorer -g -d file on host_B.

    The -d file option specifies the defaults file saved in Step 3.

    The defaults file for host_B is /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer. If there is already a Oracle Explorer defaults file on host_B, Oracle Explorer will try to use the existing values on host_B. Otherwise, the values are the same as for host_A. The values for EXP_PLATFORM_NAME_$hostid, EXP_SERIAL_$hostid, and EXP_ZONES in the defaults file are null.
