Installation manual

5) Link the file to the startup/shutdown directories, so that the operating system will run the
above script when the system is started or shutdown. Type:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
6) Log out from root and log back in as oracle.
INIT.ORA PARAMETER SETTINGS:
There is a template init$ORACLE_SID.ora file contained in
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/$ORACLE_SID/pfile/init$ORACLE_SID.ora. This file contains settings for small,
medium, and large databases, with the settings for medium and large databases commented out. Edit this file to
make whatever parameter changes are required for your database. Any changes you make will only take effect
when the database is shutdown and then restarted.
PRO*C SETTINGS:
If using Pro*C/C++ precompilers, you must customize the $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/admin/ottcfg.cfg
and $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg files for your environment, as described in the
"Pro*C/C++ Precompiler Programmer's Guide" manual and your C compiler documentation. The following
lines are a typical pcscfg.cfg file for Pro*C. (Replace <your-oracle-home> with your ORACLE_HOME
definition and enter the 2 lines of the sys_include definition on one long line):
sys_include=(<your-oracle-home>/precomp/public,
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/egcs-2.91.66/include/,/usr/include)
include=(<your-oracle-home>/precomp/public)
include=(<your-oracle-home>/rdbms/demo)
include=(<your-oracle-home>/rdbms/public)
include=(<your-oracle-home>/network/public)
include=(<your-oracle-home>/plsql/public)
include=(<your-oracle-home>/otrace/public)

RMAN:
If using RMAN, ensure that the correct rman executable is being run. Type:
which rman
If the output shows /usr/bin/rman, this indicates that $ORACLE_HOME/bin is not found before /usr/bin in
the PATH environment variable. (Under a default RedHat 6.x install, a KDE program called rman (a file
viewing / editing program) is installed under /usr/bin). You can also execute Oracle's RMAN by typing:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman
ORACLE 8.1.6 ON LINUX RESTRICTIONS:
Linux does not have support for very large files (files larger than 2gig).
Linux does not support raw devices, unless your operating system documentation indicates that it does support
raw devices.
Third-party filters to extract pertinent ASCII information from documents being indexed are not provided by
Oracle interMedia Text for Linux.
The Parallel Server option is not supported.
