Module Objectives
Purpose
The Universal Installer in Oracle9i makes it very easy to install the database and networking
software.
Objectives
After completing this module, you should be able to:
Install the Oracle9i Enterprise Edition
Explore the Oracle9i environment
Test the Oracle9i environment
Prerequisites
Before starting this module, you should have:
Completed the Preinstallation Tasks module

Perform the following steps to install the Oracle9i database:
1. The Oracle Universal Installer requires 400 MB of temporary space on your C: drive to run
successfully. If you do not have at least 400 MB on the C: drive, then update the TEMP user
variable in your environment variables and change it to a location with the required amount of
space. In addition, make sure that the computer has sufficient system memory (the combination
of RAM and virtual memory). If the page file size is too small, messages appear indicating that
the computer is running low on virtual memory. Check your page file size to make sure that the
initial size is 200 MB and the maximum size is 400 MB.
2. Insert your Oracle9i Enterprise Edition CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. In the Autorun
window that appears, choose Install/Deinstall Products. If you do not have your laptop set up
for Autorun capability, run autorun.exe directly from the AUTORUN directory on your Oracle9i
Enterprise Edition CD-ROM. You will install Oracle9i in its own home directory. Click Next to
accept the default Oracle_Home name and location.
3. In the Welcome window, click Next.

12. The Oracle Universal Installer displays a summary of the installation options. Make sure that you
have the required disk space available and then click Install.
13. The Oracle Universal Installer begins installing Oracle9i Enterprise Edition and related software.
Note: This process takes at least one hour. The Oracle Universal Installer also creates
installation logs as it progresses. You can view these while the installation is in progress. The log
for this installation session is located at C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\
6/7/2016 3:44 PM

logs\installActions.log. If you install another product, the current log is copied to this file
and renamed, so there is always a history of each successive installation.
14. After the initial software is copied to the disk, the Oracle Universal Installer also automatically
configures the network for the Production database. This is done in the background. The
success of the operation is reported in the Oracle Universal Installer Configuration Tools
window. Once the network configuration has been completed, the Oracle Universal Installer
starts the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. This assistant installs and configures the
initial database in the background as well.

For more information about the Oracle9i installation process, please see the Oracle9i
Installation Guide.
Exploring the Oracle9i Installation

In this topic, you will review some of the directory structures that were built for you when Oracle
Universal Installer installed an optimal flexible architecture (OFA)-compliant image of the Oracle9i
software.
1. Open Windows NT Explorer and click the drive where you installed the database (for example,
D:). Select View > Refresh. Navigate to the D:\Oracle directory. Notice that there are three
subdirectories: admin, Ora90, and oradata.
2. Navigate to the admin directory. The D:\Oracle\admin directory is an OFA-compliant

directory that contains information about different database instances installed on this machine.
So far it contains one directory, orcl, for the orcl.world instance that you just created.
3. Navigate back to D:\Oracle\Ora90. This is the Oracle9i software directory, also known as the
Oracle9i ORACLE_HOME. All the software for the Oracle9i Enterprise Edition is installed under
this directory tree.
4. Navigate to the D:\Oracle\Ora90\Network\admin directory. This is the directory that the

networking files are stored in.
5. Open the listener.ora file generated during the Oracle Universal Installer installation of
Oracle9i.
6. Notice that the listener has been set to listen for three different types of connections:
External processes called from the server, using InterProcess Communication (IPC)
Oracle Net connections from across the network, using TCP/IP, on port 1521
The listener has also been configured with two services:
An external process server for external procedure calls
A database service for the ORCL.WORLD instance
Your listener.ora file should look like the following:
# LISTENER.ORA Network Configuration File:
d:\oracle\ora90\network\admin\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC3))
)
6/7/2016 3:44 PM
10 of 19
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = meyoung-lap)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
)
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\ora90)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = orcl.world)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\ora90)
(SID_NAME = orcl)
)
)
7. Close the file when you are finished.
8. Open the tnsnames.ora file generated during the Oracle Universal Installer installation of
Oracle9i. Change US.ORACLE.COM to WORLD. This is done for simplicity purposes. The
examples used through out the series will use this domain name however you may use what
ever you would like.
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File:
d:\oracle\ora90\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC3))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
ORCL.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl.world)
)
)
INST1_HTTP.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = SHARED)
(SERVICE_NAME = MODOSE)
6/7/2016 3:44 PM
11 of 19
(PRESENTATION = http://HRService)
)
)
9. Save your work and close the file.
10. Open the SQLNET.ORA file generated during the Oracle Universal Installer installation of
Oracle9i. Change the US.ORACLE.COM entry to WORLD. The DEFAULT_DOMAIN name must
match the domain name in your TNSNAMES.ORA file.
# SQLNET.ORA Network Configuration File:
d:\oracle\ora90\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = WORLD
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)
11. Save your work and close the file.
12. Navigate to the D:\Oracle\Ora90\Database directory. This directory contains the password
files and the default initialization files for each instance created on this machine.
13. Open the initorcl.ora file. Notice that it contains a reference to the "real" initialization file at
D:Oracle\Admin\orcl\pfile\initorcl.ora.
14. Navigate back to D:\Oracle\Oradata\orcl. This is the directory that contains the data files
for each instance that you create on this machine. Explore the contents of this directory.
15. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel. Scroll down to the list of the services that were added
as a result of your installation.
16. Now that you have installed Oracle9i, you should reboot the machine.
Testing the Oracle9i Installation

In this section you will test the installation of the Oracle9i database using Enterprise Manager, which
combines all of the management tools together into one product.
1. Select Start > Programs > Oracle-OraHome90 > Enterprise Manager Console.
2. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console login window, make sure that Launch standalone is
selected and then click OK. Note: You can launch Enterprise Manager to immediately connect to
the database for direct database administration. No configuring is necessary. From this Login
window, you can also connect to the Oracle Management Server (OMS) however you need to

15. Notice that the database has been started. Click the Memory tab.
16. In the Memory tabbed page, you can see how memory is currently allocated.
17. When you created your database, the sample schemas (or seeded) are loaded into your
database, the HR user cannot log into the database until the password has been changed or that
user is unlocked. This lock has been put into place for security purposes. You can unlock the
user from Enterprise Manager by expanding Security, then Users, then selecting HR.
18. Select Unlock then Apply. Unlock the other Sample Schema Users: OE, PM, SH, and QS.
