Installation Procedure
Follow this procedure to install Developer 6.0 and Oracle 8i on the same
physical machine in separate ORACLE_HOMEs on NT:
- Install Developer 6.0 using the instructions on the Developer CD.
Specify an appropriate drive and the ORANT directory as the destination. For
example:
D:\ORANT
Note: You must install Developer in the Oracle home named DEFAULT_HOME.
- Install RDBMS 8.1.5 from the Oracle 8i CD. Specify the following
information when prompted for the Oracle Home and Full path:
Oracle Home ora8i
Full Path d:\orant\ora8i
Choose Typical Install
Global Database Name ora8i.us.oracle.com (This is an example)
SID ORA8I (This is an example)
As the product installs, a summary is displayed that shows the products that
are installed and the space requirements.
When the installation is complete, the following information is displayed
and the installer exits:
Oracle Database Configuration Assistant Alert Database Creation Completed.
Database Information
Global Database Name ora8i.us.oracle.com
SID ORA8I
Sys password change_on_install
System passwd manager
- A TNSNAMES entry needs to be created in the tnsnames.ora file for the new
Oracle 8i installation. You can find the file in:
d:\orant\net80\admin\tnsnames.ora
A default entry will look like this:
alias.world
(DESCRIPTION
(ADDRESS_LIST
(ADDRESS
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = )
(Port = )
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = )
)
)
For example, if you installed on a machine with a HOSTNAME of TEST, a SID
named ORA8I, on TCP/IP with port 1521, and an alias of NEW, you would create
the following entry:
NEW.world
(DESCRIPTION
(ADDRESS_LIST
(ADDRESS
(PROTOCOL = TCP)
(Host = TEST)
(Port = 1521)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = ORA8I)
)
)
- If you manually created the entry, save and close the tnsnames.ora file.
You can now connect to the local database instance of 8i using the DBSTRING
as NEW. For example, you can connect as scott/tiger_at_NEW.
