How to Install Oracle Explorer Manually

How to Install Oracle Explorer Manually

Use the following procedure to install Oracle Explorer after you have downloaded the latest installer, as described in How to Download Oracle Explorer.

Note – Oracle Explorer must be installed in the global zone if you are installing it on the Solaris 10 Operating System (Solaris OS). In Solaris 10, the pkgadd command includes a -g flag that restricts installation to the global zone.

  1. If a version of Oracle Explorer is installed on the host, remove the SUNWexplo and SUNWexplu packages before installing the new Oracle Explorer package.
  2. Become superuser.
  3. Type the following command at the prompt:
    pkgrm SUNWexplo
    If the SUNWexplu package is also installed, type the following command at the prompt:
    pkgrm SUNWexplu

    Note – Removing the current SUNWexplo and SUNWexplu package saves the Oracle Explorer defaults file.
    In Oracle Explorer 3.6.2 and earlier versions, the defaults file is explorer_install_dir/etc/default/explorer.
    In Oracle Explorer 4.0 and later versions, the defaults file is /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer.
    You can save the defaults file and use it as input when you run the explorer -g command to create or update the defaults file. During installation of Oracle Explorer version 4.0 or later, this file is moved from the explorer_install_dir/etc/default/explorer directory to the /etc/opt/SUNWexplo/default/explorer directory. The contents of the defaults file are displayed as the default responses when you run the explorer -g command.

    The output directory of the most recent Oracle Explorer run is saved in the explorer_install_dir/output directory.
  4. Extract Oracle Explorer from Services Tools Bundle (STB) using -ext option .
    To obtain the STB installer options, type ./install_stb.sh -help
  5. Uncompress and untar the Explorer_<version>.tar.Z file:

    cd /var/tmp/stb/extract/Explorer
    Decide which of the following commands you should use to untar the file:
    • If you do not have zcat installed, type:

      uncompress Explorer_<version>.tar.Z
      tar xvf Explorer_<version>.tar
    • If you have zcat installed, type:

      zcat Explorer_<version>.tar.Z | tar xvf -

    Note – If you want to use Explorer from an alternate path, proceed to step 2 in How to Use Explorer from an Alternate Path.

  6. To install Explorer and create directories called SUNWexplo and SUNWexplu type the following command at the prompt as superuser:
    pkgadd -d . SUNWexplo SUNWexplu

Note – If this is an NFS installation that will support clients running Solaris 7 or older, use the following command:

echo "EXP_NFS_DEPLOY=1" > response
pkgadd -d . -r response SUNWexplo SUNWexplu
