Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database Server
Have the following information ready to enter in the Installer:
Note:
Verify that the libnsl.so library or a soft link libnsl.so exists in the user libraries directory. For example, execute the following command and verify that it returns libnsl.so (either the file or as the softlink):
cd /usr/lib (/usr/lib64)
ls -lrt libnsl*
If libnsl.so does not exists, create a soft link by using "ln -s libsl.so.2 libnsl.so" or "ln -s libsl.so.1 libnsl.so".

Install the Oracle Clinical Database Server Software
- Log in to the server computer using the opapps account.
- In the staging area, locate the directory where you downloaded Oracle Clinical (see Download the Software) and extract the .zip file if you have not already done so.
- Navigate to this location:
server_code_
platform
\Disk1\install
- Change protections on all files to
755
:chmod 755 *
- Run one of the following commands, depending on whether or nor you are using Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC):
- For a non-RAC installation:
./runInstaller
Or, if the database server has multiple Oracle Homes, then enter:
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
For example:
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc
- For a RAC installation:
./runInstaller -local
Or, if the database server has multiple Oracle Homes, then enter:
./runInstaller -local -invPtrLoc ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
For example:
./runInstaller -invPtrLoc /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc
This ensures that the installation is performed only on the local node.
Note:
See Use the Silent Installer (Optional) for instructions for running the Installer as a file with pre-entered parameter values.Note:
Although there is a button for deinstalling products on the Welcome screen, Oracle does not support using the Installer to deinstall Oracle Clinical or Oracle Clinical Remote Data Capture (RDC) Onsite. - For a non-RAC installation:
- In the Select a Product to Install page, select OC Server for UNIX 5.4.0.0.x.
- Follow the instructions on the installation screens, providing the information you assembled in Gather Required Information for Oracle Clinical Database Server.
- You can review the progress of the installation:
