Dear List, I am trying to use the “ARSystem-ini-template.txt” file to upgrade to 7.5 on a Linux machine, Oracle 10.2 database. I am a bit puzzled by all the info they are asking for that wasn’t needed in the past, and wondering if it is all really necessary, and if not, what is and under what circumstances?
A few specifics: # New Temporary Tablespace required #-J BMC_DATABASE_ORACLE_NEW_TEMP_TABLESPACE=<NEW|OLD> Are they saying that a new temp tablespace IS required, or ASKING us if it is? And what is meant by the “NEW|OLD” option? They also ask: # Database DBA login #-J BMC_DATABASE_DBA_LOGIN=<DBA User Name> # Database DBA password #-J BMC_DATABASE_DBA_PASSWORD=<DBA User Password> This is followed by 11 different “DBA” questions. Our DBA is a bit reluctant to give me this info, and isn’t sure he wants his password on the system even if it is encrypted. (I’ve been told that encrypted passwords can be de-crypted, but don’t know if it is true.) In the past, the only database name and password we needed was the “ARAdmin.” What is the purpose of this info? Is it needed for the operation of the system, or just for the installation? Would it work to use a temporary password, then change it after the installation? Dwayne Martin James Madison University
