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_HA installation.

• a successful installation of DMK as it’s the root component of DMK_HA

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.tar

Typically, ${ORACLE_BASE} match:

• “/u00/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_HA}
/u00/app/oracle/local/dmk_ha

Enjoy!

Upgrade

dbi services recommend to perform a backup of your DMK_HA 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!

De-installation

This paragraph describes the de-installation of the DMK_HA toolkit.

For Linux:

rm -rf $DMK_HA

For Windows:

Remove-Item $DMK_HA
