1. Make sure the environment variables for Oracle are set. For further information, see Setting Environment Variables for Platform. 
    

2. Make sure the Oracle data directories exist. These directories must be owned by the Oracle user. For further information see Properties for Oracle.
   

3. Configure and start an Oracle listener for the database instance. The working directory for the listener is $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
   Edit the listener.ora file to match what is set in install.xml.
   See Appendix A - Oracle Home Settings for an example.
   

4. When the listener has been is configured, it needs to be restarted:
   $ lsnrctl stop
$ lsnrctl start
   

5. Create the Oracle database instance. The working directory is oracle.

   $ source ./oracle_create_instance.sh
   Depending on the hardware and the size of the database, this command may take up to one hour to execute. If no error occurredoccurs, the database creation will is now be completed complete and the rest of this section can be ignored.

   Tiptitle

   Hint!

   When

   After the instance creation script

   has been

   is executed, there

   are

   will be three log files in the /tmp directory that can be used for

   trouble shooting

   troubleshooting. The mz.log file contains Oracle responses from the database creation, the mzuser.log file contains Oracle responses from the user creation, and the mz_db.log file contains Oracle responses from the table creations.

      

6. If the script fails, cleanup the system before the next try:

   1. Start SQL*Plus:
      $ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

   2. Terminate the bad instance:
      SQL> shutdown abort
SQL> quit

   3. Remove any files created by Oracle in any of the previously defined directories for Oracle data.
