Installgen - Automate Oracle 8i/9i installs on Solaris, Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Updated by dsimpson on Saturday, January 18th 2003.
The Installgen application implements Oracle´s best practices for over 100 tasks required when performing the installation of Oracle primary and standby database servers. This graphical application generates dozens of scripts, configuration files and documentation within a few seconds. An external module allows site-specific customization of each generated file.Installgen makes use of 103 configuration parameters which are used in over 7000 locations within the 61 - 82 output scripts which are generated. Installgen does more than just perform variable substitutions of configuration parameters within the output code. Significant sections of code are customized based upon the user-entered configuration parameters. The cost of making a mistake writing or modifying these scripts manually would far exceed the licensing cost of Installgen.
