Don't see the error you're getting. Could you please copy/paste it.

In general terms:

The xhost is done on the machine that contains the physical screen (runs the X server) which is in this case your Reflections machine.

     xhost +

The export is done on the machine which has the command you want to run, in your case the machine on which runInstaller is found

     export DISPLAY={host-where-reflections-is-running}:0.0

And the runInstaller is run by the Oracle user, not [never] the root user. In the same session as you did the export. (So log in as oracle, and then export, cd and runInstaller.)

The challenge is in the export above - knowing which display and screen (the 0.0 pair).

But actually getting a copy of the error would also be useful.
