Preinstallation Tasks

Preinstallation Tasks
The following tasks must be performed prior to installing Oracle Unified
Messaging:

Task 1: Back Up and Shut down Existing Database and Log Files

Perform a full backup of your existing Oracle8 Universal Data Server before you
perform any new installation or upgrade. A full backup ensures that you can
recover from errors encountered during new installation or upgrade processes.
This backup should be taken with the database shut down cleanly. If you use SHUT
DOWN IMMEDIATE or SHUT DOWN ABORT to force users off the system, be
sure to restart the database in restricted mode, and then shut it down with normal
priority. See the Oracle8i Administrator's Guide or Oracle8i Backup and Recovery for
more information.

Task 2: Install and Configure the Oracle8 Universal Data Server

Oracle Unified Messaging requires reconfiguration of specific database parameters.
Before starting this configuration, shut down the network listener and the database
where Oracle Unified Messaging will be installed.
To shut down the network listener:
$ lsnrctl stop
To shut down the database:
$ svrmgrl
SVRMGR> connect internal
Connected.
SVRMGR> shutdown
SVRMGR> exit
Edit the init <sid> .ora file located in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory to
