Oracle on IBM z/OS

This Section

Installing and running Oracle on IBM z/OS

Runing Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) on z/OS

Runing Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) on z/OS

  1. If necessary , delete any dumps or other /tmp files, UNIX files and MVS datasets from a previous installation failure.
  2. Connect to UNIX on z/OS via Telnet
  3. Make sure /etc/startup.mk exists. If not, copy it from /samples/startup.mk. OUI may crash with Java and CEE dumps if it does not exist.
  4. Set up the environment for the required version of Java and start OUI: 
                                           export PATH=/bin:/usr/lpp/java/J1.4/bin
                                       
    
                                       export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lpp/java/J1.4
                                       
    
                                       /usr/lpp/Oracle/runInstaller -ignoresysprereqs > ~/ouistdout 2> ~/ouistderr
    Redirecting STDOUT and STDERR prevent OUI from failing with a IEC141I 013-C0 error on the MVS console.
  5. Rename the ~/ouistdout and ~/ouistderr before starting OUI for the next installation or configuration.

Installing Patches on z/OS

Installing Patches on z/OS

  1. Log into USS with the login ID which owns the Oracle installation directories.
  2. Download the patch to be installed and put it in the ORACLE_HOME directory.
  3. Download the latest version of OPatch (patch #4898608) and put it in the ORACLE_HOME directory.
  4. Download the OS/390 version of the UnZip utility from the Oracle Metalink UnZip Utilities Download page.
  5. Uncompress the UnZip utility and add execute permission: 
                                           uncompress unzip_os390.Z
                                       
    
                                       chmod ug+x unzip_os390
  6. UnZip OPatch and the patch to be applied: 
                                           ./unzip_os390 -a p4898608_10203_GENERIC
                                       
    
                                       ./unzip_os390 pnnnnnnn_10203_MVS
    Use the -a option when extracting OPatch to convert ASCII to EBCDIC. The patch itself probably contains binary files and may not need to be extracted with the -a option, but it might not hurt to include it anyway.
  7. Make sure the environment variables and PATH are properly set: 
                                           export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lpp/java/J1.4
                                       
    
                                       export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lpp/Oracle/product/otg/10.2.0.3
                                       
    
                                       export ORACLE_HLQ_PDS=ORACLE.OTG.V10203
                                       
    
                                       export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$ORACLE_HOME/perl/bin:$PATH
    The PATH should include the OPatch directory and the directory that contains the version of Perl that was installed with Oracle.
  8. Verify the versions of Java and Perl: 
                                           java -version
                                       
    
                                       perl -version
  9. Make sure oraInst.loc points to the correct oraInventory location (ex: $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory or $ORACLE_HOME/oraInventory). 
                                           cat /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
                                       
    
                                       #Oracle Installer Location File Location
                                       
    
                                       #Ddd Mmm dd hh:mm:ss ZZZ yyyy
                                       
    
                                       inst_group=MVSNFSC
                                       
    
                                       inventory_loc=/usr/lpp/Oracle/10.2.0.3/oraInventory
  10. Verify oraInventory exists where indicated by oraInst.loc: 
                                           ls -l /usr/lpp/Oracle/10.2.0.3/oraInventory
  11. Test running OPatch: 
                                           opatch lsinventory
  12. Shut down the gateways if they are running.
  13. Perform any pre-installation instructions indicated by the ReadMe file, such as allocating data sets.
  14. Apply the patch: 
                                           cd nnnnnnn​
                                       
    
                                       opatch apply
  15. Perform any post-installation instructions indicated by the ReadMe file.
