RCU Installation - Service Name of fresh DB installation

Question

Hi,
I am setting up SOA suite 11g. I have Oracle 11.1.0.7 DB (fresh installation) and I my lsnrctl is showing following information;
$ lsnrctl status

The listener supports no services
The command completed successfully
I chose to create new repository and provided following information on RCU setup screen;
Host Name: IP_Address of the machine
Port: 1521
Service Name: *<--- I dont know what to provide here as I didn't create any databases on server yet*
Username: sys
Password: ******
Role: sysdba
Am I missing anything....?

Hi,
I found the solution and some more useful information which I wanted to add here for future reference.
To run RCU, we need to create a DB first in Oracle and then LSNRCTL will pick up that database and start listening on default port (1521). Use you DB name as Service name which can be verified as follows;
LSNRCTL Status_
$ lsnrctl status

The command completed successfully
Also I found out during my RCU installation we need some more settings before and after creating DB to run RCU successfully;
*1) DB_BLOCK_SIZE Settings*
The default initDB_NAME.ora file create DB with *'db_block_size=4096'*, if that the case you'll see following error while installing RCU;
RCU-6002:The specified database does not meet the minimum requirement to load metadata repository.
RCU-6080:Global prerequisite check failed - Check requirement for specified database
RCU-6107:DB Init Param Prerequisite failure for: DB_BLOCK_SIZE
Current Value is 4 KB. It should be greater than or equal to 8 KB.
User should have sysdba or dba privilages.
It is irreversible :(. You have to drop and create DB again with following parameter in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initDB_NAME.ora file;
db_block_size=8192
*2) User Previlages*
You can not use SYS/SYSDBA to connect to Oracle DB from RCU setup. To grant SYSDBA permissions to the ORACLE DB user first apply following command from shell;
$ orapwd file=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapw$ORACLE_SID password=PASSWORD entries=4 force=y
Note: In above command the password is Unix/Windows login password not SYS password.
Now, login into SQLPLUS prompt using sys/sysdba to finally grant SYSDBA opermission to normal Oracle DB User as follows and restart DB to apply changes;
SQL> grant sysdba to aia;     <-- Grant SYSDBA permission to user 'aia' in this case
Grant succeeded.
SQL> grant dba to aia;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> startup force;
ORA-32004: obsolete and/or deprecated parameter(s) specified
ORACLE instance started.

Hope above information will help.
