Completed the Configuring Linux for the Installation of Oracle Database 10g lesson

Download the self-extracting binary file of version 1.4.2_03 (or later release) of the Sun J2SE for Linux (available at: http://www.javasoft.com) to your Linux machine.

Follow the instructions provided on the JavaSoft Web site to install the Java SDK. Note the install location when it is complete.

Download Oracle10g JDeveloper 9.0.5.1 from http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/jdev/index.html.

Open a terminal window and execute the following:

cd /u01/app/oracle/product
mkdir -p 9.0.5/jdeveloper
cd 9.0.5/jdeveloper
unzip <path to zip file>/jdev9051.zip

Example: If the jdev9051.zip file is in /stage, use:

unzip /stage/jdev9051.zip

The JDeveloper software installation is complete. The software now must be configured.

Using the text editor gedit or your editor of choice, open the file /u01/app/oracle/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/jdev.conf.

Find the SetJavaHome parameter. Change

# SetJavaHome c:\jdk1.4.2_03

to the location where the Java SDK was installed.

Example:

SetJavaHome /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04

Save the jdev.conf file and exit gedit.

Open gedit and open the /home/oracle/.bash_profile file.

Make sure the PATH includes the location for JDeveloper and the Java SDK.

For <JAVA SDK 1.4.2 release>, enter the full path to the location of the Java executable. Example: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin

JDEV_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper
PATH=$PATH:$JDEV_HOME/jdev/bin:<JAVA SDK 1.4.2 release>;
  export PATH

export JDEV_HOME

Save the .bash_profile file and exit gedit.

You now need to source the file. Open a terminal window and execute the following commands:

cd
. ./.bash_profile

From a terminal window, execute:

cd $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/j2ee/home
java -jar oc4j.jar -install

At the prompt, enter the password oracle.

To set the proper permissions, execute the following commands from your terminal window:

chmod -R g+r $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/
chmod +x $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/jdev
chmod +x $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/ojc
chmod +x $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/start_oc4j
chmod +x $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/stop_oc4j
chmod -R g+w $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/j2ee/home/application-deployments
chmod -R g+w $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/j2ee/home/applications
chmod -R g+w $ORACLE_BASE/product/9.0.5/jdeveloper/j2ee/home/config
