Install Oracle 9i on Windows 2003 Server

Contents

Introduction

I recently installed Oracle 9i on Windows Server 2003 R2 Service Pack 1 and

made the following notes. I used the Oracle discs for version 9.2.0.1.0. Note that

some text has been blurred to protect the anonymity of the client.

Downloaded latest patchset from metalink (in this case it was Patch 9.2.0.7 for

win32; p4163445_92070_WINNT.zip).

IMPORTANT: Sometimes I find better ways of doing things after I've taken

the screenshots. Be sure to refer to the text below each screen shot for any

alterations.

Run OUI

Remove the ORACLE_HOME environment variable if it exists.

Insert Oracle disc 1 and select "Install/Deinstall Products". This runs the Oracle

Universal Installer.

If you want to watch the log as it goes, fire up Cygwin and do something like

below. This will probably slow down the installation though:

michael@questtest ~

$ cd c:

michael@questtest /cygdrive/c

$ cd Program\ Files/Oracle/Inventory/logs

michael@questtest /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Oracle/Inventory/logs

Don't forget you'll have to swap discs!

Apply Latest Patchset

Login to Metalink and click on "Patches and Updates". Click "Simple Search"

under patches. Search by "Product or Family", enter "RDBMS Server", select

9.2.0.x where x is the highest number. The platform is "Microsoft Windows (32-

bit)".

http://metalink.oracle.com/



At the time of writing, 9.2.0.8 was the highest patch level, but wasn't available

for 32-bit Windows so I took 9.2.0.7. Download the patchset and unzip to

somewhere outside of ORACLE_HOME, e.g. C:\Oracle_patch.

Run C:\Oracle_path\Disk1\setup.exe. This starts the Oracle Universal Installer.

Note: this is a different version of the OUI than the one you installed from the

CD. You must use this newer version.

From Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, stop the following

services:

OracleOraHome92Agent

OracleOraHome92TNSListener

OracleOraHome92ManagementServer (asks for credentials - use

sysman/oem_temp)

OracleServiceyour SID

OracleOraHome92HTTPServer

Welcome



Click Next.

Specify File Locations



Enter OraHome92 into the name field and this should update the path to your

ORACLE_HOME. Click Next.

If any services are still running you'll see this:



Summary



Click Install.

Install



Fancy a brew?

End of Installation



Click Exit, then restart the following services:

OracleOraHome92Agent

OracleOraHome92TNSListener

OracleOraHome92ManagementServer

Upgrade the database

Run SQL*Plus as SYS, restart the database and run the upgrade script. Note that

this took around 30 mins for just one smallish OpenACS schema:

SHUTDOWN ABORT

STARTUP

SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE

STARTUP MIGRATE

SPOOL C:\patch.log

@D:\Oracle\ora92\rdbms\admin\catpatch.sql

SPOOL OFF

Review C:\patch.log for any errors (there were none). Restart the database in the

normal way.



Note: I forgot this step and it didn't manifest itself until I tried to drop a user,

which gave the error:

drop user user cascade;

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01001: invalid cursor

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qmxiUnpPacked2], [121], [], [], [],

[], [], []

Detailed instructions can be found accompanying the patchset.
