By -
There are some situations that demands us to uninstall the installed software. same thing happen for me today I was trying to install the Oracle Database 12c in silent mode the logs tells that there is some prerequisites not matched. Hence the installation log retured with non zero value that is 6.

When should I need to Deinstall ?

  1. To re-install my target Oracle Database 12c software, I need to uninstall the existing installation.
  2. If you need to go for higher version of Database then take proper backup of your data then proceed for this deinstallation.

Steps to Deinstall Oracle 

To uninstall Oracle Database 12c:
  1. First navigate to the ORACLE_HOME 
  2. Then find deinstall directory that is containing the deinstall command script.
  3. Execute like shell script use ./deinstall without any parameters to procced to uninstall the Oracle Database - Keep observing the terminal where it shows all that is doing in background to remove the software. 
Note that deinstall command automatically redirects the log output to the /tmp directory if incase your lost connection you may check it in the /tmp locaiton.

Namaste!! Welcome to 'My   OFMW   Experiments' blog! In this post, I would like to share my experiment that worked out for cooked recipes for those who are looking for silent mode installation of Oracle Client . where the applications need to use the connectivity to the Database and to execute SQL commands.   How to Download the Oracle Database 12c client? Most of the Oracle Utilities projects using the Oracle Client. Where Oracle database uses 12c then in the application software stack uses same version of Oracle Client. Choosing the right platform specific downloads is important. Which are available on OTN and also on e-delivery. Here I've worked on Oracle 12.1.0.2 database and client then again on Oracle 12.2.0.1 database and client combinations. Using VNC viewer we can install the software media but if you don't have that service available that alternative is silent mode installation. Make sure your OS have the unzip command for uncompressed. Now, unzip the do...

Create OHS Domain (Standalone) using WLST

Hello, Oracle Fusion product fans!! In this series of Oracle Fusion technical learning, I would like to share the latest experiment on OHS domain creation using WLST. It's a situation where I've installed OHS Standalone on a Vagrant based CentOS VirtualBox and need to run the OHS instance. I've searched on Google and also in Oracle but there is no such simple code or step that will work without X11 forwarding. Got a thought, There could be similar requirements may be there in a docker container as well. Searched in Github about OHS image creation code there I've learnt how does this WLST help us to create the OHS domain and creates ohs1 component instance within it. Create OHS Domain standalone mode using WLST script The magical WLST script looks like this... #!/usr/bin/python # Create OHS Domain standalone mode with 'ohs1' as system Component # Created date : 12-02-2020 import os, sys def read_ohsdomain_template(): """ Select a...
