This appendix contains screenshots and descriptions for all of the Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer installation screens:
This screen appears for UNIX systems only; if this is your first Oracle installation on this host, you must specify the location of the inventory directory. This inventory directory is used by the installer to keep track of all Oracle products installed on the computer.
The default inventory location is USER_HOME/oraInventory.
In the Operating System Group name field, select the group whose members you want to grant access to the inventory directory; all members of this group will be able to install products on this machine.
Click OK to continue.
This screen appears for UNIX systems only; you are asked to run the inventory_directory/createCentralInventory.sh script as root.
If you do not have root access on this machine but wish to continue with the installation, select Continue installation with local inventory.
Click OK to continue.
The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the installer.
Before continuing, make sure that you have created the necessary schemas for the products you want to install, and that you have also installed and configured WebLogic Server. For more information, refer to Section 2.1, "Preparing to Install".
The Welcome screen is displayed each time you start the Configuration Tool.
Before continuing, make sure that you have created the necessary schemas for the products you want to install, and that you have also installed and configured WebLogic Server.
Select the type of installation you want to perform.
Install and Configure
Select this option to have the installer create an Oracle Home directory where the software will be installed, and an Oracle Instance directory where a working instance of the software will be created.
After the installation is complete, you can modify the configured instance using Enterprise Manager or WebLogic Server Administration Console.
