Part 1 : Extracting files and arranging them

Once you have finished downloading the above files you need to extract them and sort correctly. Firstly create a folder in your hard drive, say, “JDE-files”. Extract all the zip files, namely “V31550-01.zip”, “V31553-01.zip”, “V31551-01.zip” and “V31552-01.zip” in thefolder you just created.

If you are done with extracting, you will see that you have 4 folders in your directory with the names same as that of the zip files. Now “V31550-01″and “V31553-01” contain the client files whereas “V31551-01” and “V31552-01” contain the database files.

Once you are ready with all the files, here’s what you are supposed to do :

1. Go to “V31553-01” folder, select all files and folders by pressing Ctrl+A.
2. Press Ctrl+X to cut the files
3. Go to “V31550-01” folder and paste all the files and folders by pressing Ctrl+V
4. Now go to “V31552-01” and select all files by pressing Ctrl+A. These are all the database files, in cabinet format.
5. Press Ctrl+X to cut the files
6. Go to “V31551-01” folder and paste all the files by pressing Ctrl+V.

So now folders named “V31552-01” and “V31553-01” are empty.

Proceed further as follows :

1. Go to folder “V31551-01” and select all files by pressing Ctrl+A.
2. Press Ctrl+X to cut the files
3. Go to folder “V31550-01”
4. Open folder “ThirdParty”
5. Open folder “ORACLE”
6. Paste the files here by pressing Ctrl+V

So by now only “V31550-01” contains all the files and “V31551-01”, “V31552-01” and “V31553-01” are all empty.

Cut the entire folder “V31550-01” and paste it directly in the root directory (“C:” Drive) so that you have “V31550-01” folder locatedi in your C drive.

Rename the folder from “V31550-01” to “Standalone_9.10” to follow Oracle’s naming convention.

You can delete the old “JDE” directory you had created as it does not contain data anymore.

If you have followed all the steps correctly till now then you must have the database files located at “C:\Standalone_9.10\ThirdParty\ORACLE\”

Part 2 : Extract-Install-Cut-Paste with Oracle Database

Let us proceed with the installation of Oracle Database.

Extract the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Client (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) file you downloaded, for me it was “V20606-01.zip”.
