Installing and running Oracle on IBM 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.
