Oracle9
i
Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.2) for HP Alpha OpenVMS
Although this guide refers to this account as the Oracle9
i
account, you can assign
any name or number to the account with the UIC restrictions noted below.
The Oracle9
i
account will own the runtime libraries and executable images for
every Oracle product
.
Therefore, the database administrator (DBA) should manage
this account and install all Oracle products from it.
Oracle9
i
Account is NOT the SYS or SYSTEM Account
In the
Oracle9i Administrator’s Guide
, the Oracle9
i
account is sometimes referred to
as the DBA account
.
The Oracle9
i
account is not the same as the SYS or SYSTEM
database usernames that are created for every database. It is an OpenVMS account
name.
Oracle9
i
Account UIC Must Be Greater than MAXSYSGROUP
The UIC GROUP number of the Oracle9
i
account
must
be greater than the system
parameter MAXSYSGROUP (which defaults to octal 10)
.
GROUP numbers 1
through MAXSYSGROUP are reserved for use by the OpenVMS operating system
itself
.
If the UIC GROUP number is not greater than the system parameter
MAXSYSGROUP, then the Oracle9
i
account
cannot
issue the following commands:
■
STARTUP
■
CREATE DATABASE/TABLESPACE
■
ALTER DATABASE/TABLESPACE
If your Oracle9
i
account has a UIC group number that is less than MAXSYSGROUP,
then you
must
create a new account with a UIC group number higher than
MAXSYSGROUP before you install Oracle9
i
.
Finding MAXSYSGROUP
The following command gives the value of MAXSYSGROUP (in decimal format):
$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("MAXSYSGROUP")
