Installing Oracle Database 19c
To install Oracle Database 19c for a Simphony installation, from the database server:
- Select the Accept License Agreement option to download the software.
- Select the server’s compatible operating system, typically Microsoft Windows x64 (64–bit).
- Since the downloaded file is compressed, beginning with
Oracle Database 19c, Image Based Installation has been introduced. With Oracle Database 19c, via Image Based Installation,
the Oracle Universal Installer takes the location of the setup.exe file and assigns its db_home location.
- Prior to performing the Oracle Database 19c software download, create a new folder on the database server’s ‘C’ drive named: Oracle19c (with no spaces in the folder name).
- Logon as a Windows Administrator and, download and extract the Oracle 19c installation file into the newly created Oracle19c folder. Since the file is nearly 10GB in size, the extraction takes some time.
- Once extracted, locate and right-click on the setup.exe and select Run as administrator.
- Select Set Up Software Only, and
then click Next.
