Re: Some questions about installing SQL HELP system manually

Hi Wang,

To install HELP tables do the following:

1. Login as the oracle UNIX user

2. Set the environment variable SYSTEM_PASS to system/

% setenv SYSTEM_PASS system/

3. Run the script "helpins"

% cd /tmp (or any directory where you have "write" permissions)
% $ORACLE_HOME/bin/helpins

To install THE HELP TABLES USING THE INSTALLER

1. Set your ORACLE_SID to the database that is missing the SQL*Plus help facility

2. Invoke the Installer:

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/orainst
% ./orainst

3. Answer the installer prompts as follows:

Choose the 'Create new database objects' option for all products

Enter name of existing SID where you want to install the help facility.

Choose no products during the online documentation questions.

At the 'Available Products' screen, choose only:
sqlplus -> install
