Oracle install for Windchill

[BenLoosli]

I am trying to install Oracle 19c for Windchill 12.0.2.

I had it installed once on this server, but wiped it out to fix an error with the upgrade process. Now Oracle will not install properly. When I do the install, the setup program makes changes to the files in the folder that I am installing from even though I tell the program to install Oracle to e:\Oracle19c. The install files are in my c:\users home folder. I do not get a DB_Home created, so the PTC configuration for Oracle will not run. I have deleted all references to Oracle in the registry before each install try.

Oracle 19 setup is different of 12.

My Steps:

• Download Oracle 19c from oracle
• Extract zip to folder D:\oracle\oracle19_home
  • This will be ORACLE_HOME
• Run D:\oracle\oracle19_home\setup.exe
  • I personally set Oracle base directory to D:\oracle\oracle19_base
• Run Windchill PSI

I think it is weird that the installation modifies files in the install folder, but I did it and now have the following structure:

e:\Oracle19c\Oracle19cSetup - Original installation files

e:\Oracle19c\Oracle_Base - Added by the install

However, there is no dbhome directory created like with Oracle 12c that the Windchill setup program recognizes as a folder for dbhome.

On my Windchill 11.1 system, dbhome is: E:\Oracle12cR2\product\12.2.0\dbhome_1

What else is different with the Oracle 19c installation to make it work?

Is Oracle 18 like Oracle 12 or Oracle 19? That is an alternative for Windchill 12.

Using the e:\Oracle19c\Oracle19cSetup folder for Oracle_Home allowed the PSI to complete.

 Hello,

     I encountered the same problem when installing Oracle19C, I choose "Set software only" just like

     installing Oracle12c.But after installation,there is no D:\Oracle19c\product\19.0.0\dbhome_1.

     Have you come to a conclusion at last?

[BenLoosli]

That is correct.

In Oracle 19c, the DBhome for Windchill is your initial installed folder.

Copy your Oracle 19c installation disk to d:\Oracle19c

Run the setup program and set your install to d:\Oracle19c_base

(You can put them in a single d:\Oracle and then the 2 sub-folders)

When you run the PSI, your Oracle home is d:\Oracle19c

The problem has been solved.
