Oracle install for Windchill

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.

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

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.
