Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA)
5-2 Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.2) for HP Alpha OpenVMS
Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA)
Interactive Mode
To invoke DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) in the interactive mode,
perform the following:
1. Set up the X-Windows environment by using the following DCL command:
SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE=< workstation_name or IP_address >
2. Invoke @<ORACLE_HOME>orauser.com
3. Invoke dbca.com
The DBCA GUI appears.
Non-interactive Mode
Silent mode does not have any user interface (other than what you provide in an
argument or response file) or user interaction. It displays all messages (including
information, errors, and warnings) into a log file.
From the command line, enter the following command to see all of the DBCA
options that are available when using silent mode:
dbca -help
Note: Because of the DCL limit of eight command line parameters on
OpenVMS, it is not possible to specify directly on the command line
all of the required parameters to create a database. Therefore, as a
workaround, DBCA command line arguments may be placed into a
file called SYS$SCRATCH:DBCA.ARGS. The DBCA.COM script looks
for this file and, if present, passes the specified arguments to the
DBCA Java application. DBCA.COM will ignore all arguments that
are passed on the command line except:
–silent,
-responseFile < response_file >, and -help . In order to
avoid inadvertently applying the same arguments to the next
invocation of DBCA when DBCA.ARGS exits, if an arguments file was
used, then it is renamed to SYS$SCRATCH:DBCA.ARGS_OLD.
