2020-01-09 Install Oracle Client

Overview

I used Ansible to install Oracle Client 12.1.0.2 onto CLIFTON.

Procedure

Installation Using Ansible

From AUBURN, I ran the following command:

ansible-playbook -K clifton.yml

The relevant part of the output was:

TASK [oracle_client : output from Install Oracle Client 12.1.0.2 Software Only in Silent Mode] ************************************************************************************************************* ok: [clifton.yaocm.id.au] => { "client_sw_install_result.stdout_lines": [ "Starting Oracle Universal Installer...", "", "Checking Temp space: must be greater than 415 MB.

This script needs a small password properties file for configuration assistants that require passwords (refer to install guide documentation)." ] } TASK [oracle_client : Run orainstRoot.sh after Oracle Client 12.1.0.2 Software Installation] *************************************************************************************************************** changed: [clifton.yaocm.id.au] TASK [oracle_client : Output from orainstRoot.sh script] *************************************************************************************************************************************************** ok: [clifton.yaocm.id.au] => { "orainstRoot.stdout_lines": [ "Changing permissions of /opt/app/oraInventory.", "Adding read,write permissions for group.", "Removing read,write,execute permissions for world.", "", "Changing groupname of /opt/app/oraInventory to oinstall.", "The execution of the script is complete." ] }

Run Configure Tools Manually

In this version of oracle_client, I had not implemented the execution of the configToolAllCommands script. I had to run this script manually on CLIFTON:

/opt/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/client/cfgtoollogs/configToolAllCommands

I did not code up a response file because I did not consider any client tools to need passwords.

The log file (/opt/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/client/cfgtoollogs/oui/configActions2020-01-09_01-06-15-PM.log) showed:
