If your Oracle database is on a separate server from your Windchill server, you must perform this additional procedure before installing your Windchill solution. This section provides an overview of the actions you must perform with the PTC Solution Installer (PSI) on the Oracle server before you install the Windchill solution on your Windchill server.

This section assumes you have installed Oracle on your database server as described in this chapter.

For detailed descriptions of each screen and option, see Installing a Standalone Product or Component.

Perform the following on the Oracle database server:

1. Launch the PTC Solution Installer. For more information, see Launching the PTC Solution Installer.

2. Select the Solution Installation type and click Next. For more information on installation types, see Selecting the Installation Type.

3. Select the Standalone Product or Component and click Next.

4. Select Oracle Configuration.

5. Under Oracle Configuration, select Create Database. In addition, you can select Create Windchill Installation Database User Account. The latter can be done during your Windchill installation on the Windchill server, but the database must be created on the Oracle server now. For more information, see Installing a Standalone Product or Component.

6. Complete the PSI installation as normal.

You can now continue installing your Windchill solution on the Windchill server.
