You should be. Or else it will not work.

Nope. This is not reconfiguring the database, but configuring the operating system environment so that the Oracle software knows where to find stuff (ORACLE_HOME) and what the database identifier (ORACLE_SID) is.

IMO it is a huge mistake to use DBAssist to create databases. Use command line. Write scripts. Do it properly. GUI's are intended for novices and the clueless. It hides away the complexity and the flexibility that a Real Administrator needs to deal with in a real production environment.
