QUESTION: Oracle Wizard

add next note:

I changed the oracleinstall.sh script to reflect the new location and version, but when I run it, it says nothing to do.
How do you reverse the install script and start over?

add note:
I went with what the instructions listed to just test this out. The oracleinstall.sh produced the following error:

I've attached a photo of the console,
looks like labs.consol.de does not have the files the script is looking for.

Greetings,
the doc on installing the Oracle Wizard plugin leaves me with some questions.

First, I have multiple Oracle instances (9, 10g and 11g)
Do I need to download the instant client for all versions?
If you look at the 10.0.2.5 one on the Oracle download site, there is not an instantclient available, which the oracleinstall.sh script requires. Well the script does not find it as its looking for instantclient and that's not what it is named.

There are 8 different versions available for download on the Oracle site. I assume they are mapped to the DB versions, but do I need them all for the versions I have or can I just use the latest?

Any info on this would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for update! I updated the script, it should be updated on the site in a few minutes. Looks like the actual file path changes, I'll have to set a scraper up in the script to get the latest.

Also, in regards to the differing version of the Oracle database, yes you will need the differing version of the Client unfortunately as Oracle seems to have changed it API from version to version. Its the only way to monitor an Oracle database while not being on the same machine.

How the script works it installs every single installclient rpm available to accomodate larger installs like yours, so thats why its not failing.

Thanks!

So the older version of Oracle such as 10.0.2.5.0 do not have rpms available from Oracle.
Looks like they are .zip files that expand to actual directories.

Is it possible to get a FAQ on using the 10.x versions? This is what I see as available for them (no rpms)

I'll look into the 10.x versions when I get a chance. From looks its a .zip which contains jar files, and I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of java. But i'll experiment with using differing versions with the databases.
