Installation & Upgrade & De-Installation
This chapter describes all installation/upgrade/de-installation steps.
Installation
This paragraph describes the installation
Prerequisites
This paragraph describes all necessary steps which must be completed before you start the DMK_DBCREATE installation.
a successful installation of DMK as it’s the root component of DMK_DBCREATE
Software extraction
Based on the dbi services and OFA (Oracle Flexible Architecture) best practices extract the archive under ${ORACLE_BASE}/local, as explained below: 
gzip --decompress dmk-xx-xx-xxxx.tar.gz
tar -xvf dmk-xx-xx-xxxx.tarTypically, ${ORACLE_BASE} match:
“/u01/app/oracle ” on Linux/Unix
“D:\oracle”on Microsoft Windows systems
Install
To complete the installation you just need to re-source DMK. This can be either achieved by
restarting the PowerShell Console
sourcing DMK within your shell (alias dmk)
oracle@vmoraoel:/home/oracle/ [rdbms11202] dmk
oracle@vmoraoel:/home/oracle/ [rdbms11202] echo ${DMK_DBCREATE}
/u01/app/oracle/local/dmk_dbcreateEnjoy!
Upgrade
dbi services recommend to perform a backup of your DMK_DBCREATE package before upgrading.
The upgrade process is similar to the installation except that the prerequisites are already fulfilled:
Extract the software as explained in chapter 3.1.2 Software extraction
Install DMK as explained in chapter 3.1.3 Install
⚠️Upgrades of versions prior to the 12-10 require a reinstallation.
That’s it!
Upgrades of DBCA Templates
To use DBCA Templates from previous version the following has to be modified:
In the header now the template version is specified under description:
<DatabaseTemplate name="dbi_template_Unix_asm_19" description="Template Version 19-09" version="19.3.0.0.0">Disabled Autoextend for the UNDOTBS1 tablespace and instead increased the allocation size:(modified values marked yellow)
<DatafileAttributes id="<OMF_UNDOTBS1_DATAFILE_0>">
<tablespace>UNDOTBS1</tablespace>
<temporary>false</temporary>
<online>true</online>
<status>0</status>
<size unit="MB">2048</size>
<reuse>true</reuse>
<autoExtend>false</autoExtend>
<increment unit="KB">5120</increment>
<maxSize unit="MB">2048</maxSize>
</DatafileAttributes>Added the following Oracle parameters:
<initParam name="archive_lag_target" value="1200"/>
<initParam name="audit_trail" value="DB"/>
<initParam name="control_file_record_keep_time" value="35"/>
<initParam name="db_files" value="1022"/>This DBCA template upgrade is now done automatically:
Upgrading DBCA template from version 00-00 to latest template version 19-09:
- Backup Template to /u01/app/oracle/local/dmk_dbcreate/templates/dbca/database/dbi_template_fs_18_00-00.bak ...
- Upgrading Template /u01/app/oracle/local/dmk_dbcreate/templates/dbca/database/dbi_template_fs_18.dbt ...
- DONE
