    Manual Database Creation

    To manually create a database:
    1. Log on as an Oracle 11 user and extract the create db scripts:
    cd /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris
    tar xzvf install_ora.tar.gz
    cd oracle/11
    1. Execute the install db script and follow the instructions:
    oracle11@il-inst03(aleph24)oracle/11$csh -f pre_db_creation.csh
    Enter some parameters ...
    Oracle SID: aleph24
    Server short Host Name (without domain name): [il-inst03] il-inst03
    Host's Domain [corp.exlibrisgroup.com]: corp.exlibrisgroup.com
    Set environment parameter ORACLE_BASE to determine the location of DB creation scripts and logs
    Enter ORACLE_BASE path or default to [/exlibris/app/oracle]: /exlibris/app/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME is set to /exlibris/app/oracle/product/19r1 Is this correct?
    If not, correct the environment of oracle11 before you continue
    Continue ? [y]: y
    1. Enter the data files locations.
    2. Insert each disk. For each disk you insert, make sure that it has oradata directory with oracle:dba permissions.
    Enter Disk 1 Name or Enter to end of list [/exlibris]: /exlibris
    Enter Disk 2 Name or Enter to end of list: /exlibris2

       open additional terminal,
       correct /exlibris/ftp_from_exlibris/oracle/11/tbs.ini file
       and continue installation
    Continue ? [y]: y
    The Oracle network files(listener.ora and tnsnames.ora) were created correctly
    ********************************************************************************Note:
    ** All Database creation scripts were created in :
       /exlibris/app/oracle/admin/aleph24/scripts
    ** You can review/change the files,
       as user oracle11 on another window and then continue
       or exit and submit the creation script later, by issuing :
    csh -f /exlibris/app/oracle/admin/aleph24/scripts/aleph24.csh
    ** If you want to change tablespace files location/size , please review
    /exlibris/app/oracle/admin/aleph24/scripts/CreateDB.sql

    ********************************************************************************Enter Exit/Continue [Continue]:
    ********************************************************************************Note:
    ** Database creation will start now in the background,
    use tail -f /exlibris/app/oracle/admin/aleph24/log/db_creation.log to view creation progress
    **After creation ends please check all log files at:
    /exlibris/app/oracle/admin/aleph24/log

    To increase the performance of the Oracle database, adjust the Oracle SGA size for the created database. For more information, see Oracle SGA Sizing.
    Now database creation is running in the background. After database installation completes successfully, continue with Import Demo Libs.
