Installing Oracle Database
PTC supports Oracle Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition software. This section guides you through the process of installing and setting up Oracle database for Windchill.
* 
Select a version of Oracle database that is supported with this release. For more information about the products supported with this release, see the software matrix (available from https://www.ptc.com/en/support/refdoc).
* 
If you are installing the bundled Oracle software, you do not need to install the database software before running the PTC Solution Installer (PSI). However, the bundled Oracle software is available as an option for Pro/Intralink customers only. It is not available to customers who do not use Pro/Intralink, or to Pro/Intralink customers who have not purchased this option from PTC.
Pre-requisite for Installing Oracle 19c through PTC Solution Installer (PSI)
Before you install Oracle 19c, ensure that you copy all content from the Oracle CD or DVD and unzip the contents to the host machine, where Oracle is expected to be installed.
In addition for Linux systems, change the ownership of Oracle home through the command: chown -R oracle:oinstall /opt/Oracle19c/Oracle_home. The staging area of Oracle 19c must be the parent folder of Oracle Home.
* 
Oracle is a user who owns oracle home and oinstall is a group of oracle users on Linux.
