Installer/Packager for Oracle instance

Hi! I need to create an installer that would create an Oracle instance on the customer’s Oracle server. For SQL Server I can use SQL Packager (http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-packager/)
that can create an executable I can incorporate into an .msi file.
Is there anything available for Oracle?
As a background, few times a year the company I work for ships CD’s with the latest data. The db schemas change frequently, so we rather not run sql data population scripts cause dba's cannot run them properly. They tend to run data scripts before schema change scripts. My company gave up after spending over $50K on creating some of the best documentation I’ve seen. Instead, we are going to create an installer that would take the name of Oracle box and perform Oracle restore commands to restore an entire database from a dump.
The SQL Packager product by Red Gate works pretty well for SQL Server.
What are my options for Oracle?
Many thanks in advance,
--Michael Z....

which is how OUI provides baseline database during software installation.

Installation Deployment Package for Oracle ?

Dear all OTN Members,
I wonder if there is/are any Installation Deployment Package for Oracle just like Deployment Package I ever saw in Visual Basic ?

Dear Andrew,
Thx for your suggestion, but actually I had try Project Builder for building the deployment package and I only can install from from Oracle Installer, also I can't create custom shortcut nor icons on desktop (not mention the registry settings yet). For information, me and my customer are using Win2k, so I try to find an executable deployment package. Any further suggestion ?
Thanks in advance.

Dose middle tier installation asks for the instance name?

Dose middle tier installation asks for the instance name?
If yes, should it be same as the infrastructure instance name?

DN

Dose middle tier installation asks for the instance name?It should, and the name is not the same as infrastructure. Infrastructure and Midtier are different installations and different Oracle homes, in fact they could be installed on different machines.
In Application Server terminology, an "Instance" is related to an "Installation", the difference is that an installation is the set of files installed into an Oracle home and an instance is the set of processes associated with those files.

I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes. I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

How do i get the installation package for Adobe Bridge

Hello,
Our Creative services Department have taken a Creative Cloud account and they only want to install Adobe Bridge, however when i access the Creative Cloud account there is no installer for Adobe Bridge. Now i believe Bridge is installed as part of the installation package for other Creative Cloud products such as Photoshop, so how would i find the installer package for just Bridge?
Any help greatly appreciated

and it seems like I saw this somewhere,

What are the installation steps for Oracle Fusion HCM

Hi all
I will like to ask, what are the installation steps for Oracle Fusion HCM as well as can it work on Windows or only on virtual machine?
Thanks

If you're looking to install Fusion HCM, your best bet is to install on linux, eg, Oracle Enterprise Linux. It's up to you whether you put that in a Virtual Machine or not. I don't think Windows is an available platform for Fusion Apps at the moment, although am prepared to be corrected if you find anything to the contrary!
If you're looking to do an install on your own PC/laptop, you're probably out of luck - you'll be needing around 128GB of RAM. Check out this post:
http://onlineappsdba.com/index.php/2011/11/02/fusion-applications-128-gb-memory-and-500-gb-disk-space-are-you-ready/
Atul has also posted some good stuff on installing:

Is there Full Version MSI installer package for the last version of Adobe Reader?

Is there Full Version MSI installer package for the last version of Adobe Reader?
Where can we find it?
Thanks.

Hi,
The full MSI installer for the latest 9.5.0 release is available at:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.5.0/en_US/AdbeRdr950_en_US.msi
However, there is no full MSI installer available for the latest 10.1.2 release, since it wasn't a single dot release. The Reader 10.1.2 installer is available as a MSP file which can be applied onto the Reader 10.1.0 or Reader 10.1.1 installation.
You could also create an AIP for the latest 10.1.2 release, which would give you a single MSI installer along with the extracted files. Please have a look at the below mentioned document for more details on the same:

What kind of gobbledegook is that? Are you or Microsoft crazy. Us computer users need simpler instructions. Or you need to write your programs so that they work.

OK... what operating system? You can download the full featured drivers for supported operating systems from HP here. Select the appropriate operating system, then download the full featured driver. Run the program after downloading it. Do not connect the USB cable until instructed to by the installer program.

Installation Requirements for Oracle Apps Forms and Report Services OEL

Hi all.
Where can i find detail information about the installation requirements for Oracle Application Server Forms and Report Services under OEL 4 (Oracle Enterprise Linux) or OEL 5?
It seems there's only information about Oracle Application Server in general, not the reduced or partiuclar distribution, Forms and Reports Services.
Thanks in advance ....!

I already saw the documentation for Forms and Reports Services Installation.
This thread is about the specific requirements, if any, for this product on OEL 5 or OEL 4.
See, there's a note on Metalink(546174.1) regarding some specific issues about installing Oracle Application Server on OEL5, but i'm not sure if this involves Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services.
The idea is to know if these issues applies to this specific distribution .
Hope you understand my question now. Thanks in advance

Installation guide for Oracle form/report 6i developer

Hi all,
Does anybody had an experienced to install Oracle form/report 6i developer or where i can find a step by step installation guide for Oracle form/report 6i developer? I've downloaded Oracle form/report 6i developer software and follow the installation guide but it's very unclear. And of course, failed few times. Please, help me out.
Note: My OS is rhel 3(update 6) and I picked custom install (because i just need Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, Sql*Plus)
thanks in advance.

See Metalink Note: 133125.1
This is basically all that remains available for that version specific to installations.
