DaFIS Transaction Processing
Oracle 10g 10.2 Manual Install Guide
Introduction
These instructions explain how to manually install the Oracle 10g 10.2 client for use with DaFIS Transaction Processing (TP).
In most cases, you should use the automated installer to install the 10g client and supporting files. These instructions can be used if you need to do a manual install.
Steps for manual installation of the 10g 10.2 client:
- Prerequisites
- Map Installer Directory (Q: Drive)
- Launch installer
- Specify Oracle home
- Specify Components
- 10g Configuration Assistant
- Test DaFIS TP with 10g 10.2 Client
Prerequisites
Free Disk Space - You must have about 250 MB of free disk space on the drive where you will install the 10g client software.
Map Installer Directory (Q: drive)
Before you can begin, you need to map the Q: drive to an AFS file server. For more information, please refer to the instructions for Connecting to the Andrew File System.
Note: If you already have the Q: drive mapped, you don't need to remap it.
Launch 10g Client Installer
To launch the installer:
- Select Start->Run
- In the Open field, enter Q:\DaFIS\Special\10g\setup.exe
- Click the OK button.
After a small delay, you should see a splash screen that says Oracle Universal Installer as the installer starts up.
At the Welcome screen, click the Next button.
At the Select Installation Type screen, select the Custom
option and then click the Next button.
Specify File Locations - Oracle Home
At the File Locations screen, enter these values in the Destination... fields.
| Name: |
DAFIS_HOME_10g |
| Path: |
C:\Oracle\DaFIS10g |
You can select a different drive letter for the Path if you prefer.
Do not change the Source... Path value.
Click the Next button to continue. There will be a progress bar that says Loading products as the installer continues.
Specify 10g Client Components
- Available Product Components
- In the Available Product Components screen a component list is displayed.
Scroll through the list and select the following components. Put a check mark by
the components listed here, and remove the check mark from components that are not
listed. Expand the component listing if needed to view the subcomponent list.
The Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0 Client is installed implicitly; the component is already
selected, but is grayed out.
Select these components:
SQL*Plus 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Advanced Security 10.2.0.1.0
Oracle Net 10.2.0.1.0
Click the Next button to continue.
There will be a progress bar that appears in the upper right corner of the window
as the installer continues.
- Product-specific Prerequisite Checks
- The installer will verify readiness of your computer for the Oracle 10g Client install.
The status of each check should indicate succeeded.
Click the Next button to continue.
- Summary
- The Summary screen will display a summary of the installation
options you have selected. If everything looks good, click the Install
button to begin copying files.
- Install
- An Install screen will be displayed with a progress bar. It may take several
minutes to copy files.
10g Configuration Assistant
When the file copy is completed, a Configuration Tools screen will appear.
It is tempting to start clicking buttons here, but be patient and wait a while.
The installer should automatically launch the 10g Configuration Assistant.
- 10g Configuration Assistant: Welcome
- At the Welcome screen, leave the Perform typical configuration option unchecked.
Click the Next button to continue.
- Naming Methods Configuration, Select Naming Methods
- Add Directory Naming to the Selected Naming Methods column.
Remove Local from the Selected Naming Methods column.
So, only Directory Naming should be listed in the Selected Naming Methods column.
Click the Next button to continue.
- Naming Methods Configuration Done
- This screen is just a confirmation screen. Click the Next button to continue.

- Another confirmation screen. Click the Finish button to return
to the 10g client installer.
The installer should now return to an End of Installation screen.
Click the Exit button to finish.
Copy LDAP.ORA and DaFIS TP Shortcuts
- LDAP.ORA
- Copy the LDAP.ORA file from Q:\DaFIS\Special\extras\ldap.ora
to C:\Oracle\DaFIS10g\network\admin. Replace the existing file.
If you selected a different install drive, copy the file to the Oracle network\admin directory on that drive instead.
- DaFIS TP Shortcuts
- Copy the DaFIS TP shortcuts from the repository at Q:\DaFIS\Special\shortcuts.
Consider these options when you copy the shortcuts.
- The only shortcut that most people need is the standard DaFIS shortcut icon.
- If you like, copy the Training icon for practice sessions.
- If needed, you can also copy the Close, Stage and Test shortcut icons.
- Many people find it convenient to have the DaFIS shortcut icon on the desktop.
- You may want to create a DaFIS TP program group to put DaFIS TP on your Start menu.
- Windows NT/2000/XP: You may want to put the desktop icons in the desktop folder for All Users
rather than the desktop for the current login.
Test DaFIS TP with 10g 10.2 Client
If you like, you can test the 10g 10.2 client with the DaFIS TP application.
To test the 10g 10.2 client with DaFIS TP:
- Select Start->Run
- In the Open field, enter
Q:\DaFIS\Test\util\dafis.exe
- As DaFIS TP loads, you may be prompted to update the SQLNET.ORA file on your computer.
This is normal after a manual install. Click the Update button
to update the SQLNET.ORA file.
- If you receive an error message about a missing CTL3D32.DLL file.
you can copy the DLL from the repository at Q:\DaFIS\Special\extras\uniface.
Copy the DLL from the directory for your version of Windows. Copy the file
to your Windows system directory. After you have copied the file, run dafis.exe again.
- When you get to the login screen, enter these values (all upper case):
| User ID: |
|
TEST |
| Password: |
|
TEST |
Click the OK button to login.
- You should see the Welcome to the FIS menu screen.
That confirms that the 10g client is working properly with DaFIS TP. Click Exit the FIS button.
