Command Elements for Running PostInstallDBSetup

The following table provides information about each of the elements in this command.

Note: If you are using Kubernetes, then convert the described parameters into relevant YAML equivalents, along with the content described in Using the PostInstallDBSetup-19.list File.

Command Element	Description
docker run	The command to run a Docker container.
--rm	Removes the container instance when processing is complete.
-u 1000	Specifies the user who runs this command, such as the user with user ID 1000, who must have access to the connected persistent volume.
--network siebelnet	Required only if your database is also running in a Docker container on the same machine. If the database runs on another machine, then you do not need this parameter. Allows this container execution to share a network with the database containers. This example uses Oracle Database 19c as a container running on the siebelnet network. This is required for database connectivity to apply the schema changes.
--env-file PostInstallDBSetup-19.list	Specifies a file supplying numerous parameters required for PostInstallDBSetup, as described in Using the PostInstallDBSetup-19.list File.
-v /var/lib/docker/volumes/PV/ENT/SES:/persistent	The location of the persistent volume for a previously configured SES instance, along with the mount point to attach it to inside the container (/persistent).
--entrypoint /bin/bash	Creates a Bash shell using an alternate command to execute in the container than the one configured by default in the container (which is initSES). This is the shell in which PostInstallDBSetup.sh runs.
store/oracle/siebel:22.x	The name of the container to use, where 22.x stands for the actual version number, such as 22.6.
/config/PostInstallDBSetup.sh	The script that the Bash shell executes.
