Applies to:
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 10.2.0.1 to 12.1.0.2 [Release 10.2 to 12.1]
Other UNIX
Goal
To show how to install/deinstall and/or disable/enable the following
database components at the ORACLE_HOME software/binary level:
Product/Component
Short Name
Automated Storage Management
ASM
Context Management Text
CTX
Oracle Data Mining
DM
Database Vault
DV
Oracle OLAP
OLAP
Oracle Label Security
OLS
Oracle Partitioning
PART
Real Application Cluster
RAC
Real Application Testing
RAT
This requires advanced skills to make the changes and perform the relink.
This note WILL NOT address product specific scripts
that are required at the database level for specific components to
further complete the install/deinstall process.
Please refer to the appropriate Oracle Component Guide or as a starting point
Note 472937.1 Information On Installed Database Components and Schemas
Furthermore it will only cover UNIX/LINUX and Windows where applicable covering versions 9.2.0.x through 11.2.0.x.
Solution
Checking if products/components have been installed
Starting with releases 11.1.0.7.x and above all products are
installed by default and the option to customize the product/component
selection is no longer possible.
The only customization that can be
done on these releases is to enable or disable certain
products/components which will be covered in the following sections.
For versions 9.2.0.x through 11.1.0.6.x product installation can be confirmed in the following manner:
1. Using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) from either the $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin or software installation media:
$ cd
$ ./runInstaller
click on "Installed Products"
select the ORACLE_HOME
click on "Expand All"
Review the list or products installed.
2. Use the opatch utility:
$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH
$ opatch lsinventory -detail
Review the log file in either $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage/ or $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch/lsinv
Use the following notes to assist with product identification:
Note 783288.1 Oracle Database Software Component Guide for 10gR2
Note 783290.1 Oracle Database Software Component Guide for 11gR1
What file contains the various status's of products/components?
Once the products/components have been confirmed as being installed
(applicable only to versions 9.2.0.x through 11.1.0.6.x) then they can
be enabled/disabled at the binary level.
The file that contains the status of components being enabled or disabled is:
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/libknlopt.a
The relevant files contained within this archive and status's associated with them are:
Automatic Storage Mgt ON=kfon.o
Automatic Storage Mgt OFF=kfoff.o
Context Management Text ON=kciwcx.o <
Oracle Data Mining ON=dmwdm.o
Oracle Data Mining OFF=dmndm.o
Oracle Database Vault ON=kzvidv.o
Oracle Database Vault OFF=kzvndv.o
Oracle OLAP ON=xsyeolap.o
Oracle OLAP OFF=xsnoolap.o
Oracle Label Security ON= kzlilbac.o
Oracle Label Security OFF= kzlnlbac.o
Oracle Partitioning ON=kkpoban.o
Oracle Partitioning OFF=ksnkkpo.o
Real Application Cluster ON=kcsm.o
Real Application Cluster OFF=ksnkcs.o
Oracle Real Application Testing ON=kecwr.o
Oracle Real Application Testing OFF=kecnr.o
The following command can be used to verify the contents of the archive:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ ar -tv libknlopt.a
For IBM AIX
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ ar -X64 -tv libknlopt.a
Sample output:
$ ar -tv libknlopt.a

Checking if products/components have been enabled/disabled at the binary level
An alternative to going through the
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/libknlopt.a output line by line is to check the
archive for the existance of the 'ON' file noted above by running the
following command:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ ar -t libknlopt.a | grep -c
For IBM AIX
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ ar -X64 -t libknlopt.a | grep -c
Where is:
Product/Component
Short Name
Automated Storage Management
ASM
kfon.o
Oracle Data Mining
DM
dmwdm.o
Database Vault
DV
kzvidv.o
Oracle OLAP
OLAP
xsyeolap.o
Oracle Label Security
OLS
kzlilbac.o
Oracle Partitioning
PART
kkpoban.o
Real Application Cluster
RAC
kcsm.o
Real Application Testing
RAT
kecwr.o
For example:
$ ar -t libknlopt.a | grep -c kfon.o
For IBM AIX
$ ar -X64 -t libknlopt.a | grep -c kfon.o
If the output is 0, the option is disabled.
If the output is 1, the option is enabled.
How to enable/disable products/components at the binary level
For all versions 9.2.0.x through 11.2.0.x or above
products/components can be enabled or disabled by running 'make'
commands and passing the appropriate switch.
In Oracle Database Home versions 9.2.0.x, 10.1.0.x and 10.2.0.x, it
is possible to deinstall a specific component from Oracle Database Home
using "OUI -> Deinstall".
Note:
All
processes running from the ORACLE_HOME including but not limited to
databases, listeners, intelligent agents, etc. must be shutdown/stopped
before issuing these commands.
For example to enable/disable Oracle Partitioning:
Enable
------
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_on ioracle
Disable
-------
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk part_off ioracle
The list of switches for each product/component are:
Product/Component
Enable Switch
Disable Switch
Automated Storage Management
asm_on
asm_off
Oracle Data Mining
dm_on
dm_off
Database Vault
dv_on
dv_off
Oracle OLAP
olap_on
olap_off
Oracle Label Security
lbac_on
lbac_off
Oracle Partitioning
part_on
part_off
Real Application Cluster
rac_on
rac_off
Real Application Testing
rat_on
rat_off
Warning: switching on ASM should only be done on
Grid Infrastructure Homes in Oracle 11gR2. Doing it on an RDBMS
ORACLE_HOME will result in errors on startup.
Starting with 11.2 and above there is a utility called 'chopt' that can be used in UNIX/LINUX and WINDOWS as well.
The database needs to be shutdown in order to use the chopt utilty to enabe/disable binary options.
usage:
chopt
For example to enable/disable Oracle Partitioning:
Enable
--------
$ chopt enable partitioning
Disable
---------
$ chopt disable partitioning
This utility only works for the following products/components for version 11.2:
Product/Component
Option
Oracle Data Mining
dm
Database Vault
dv
Oracle OLAP
olap
Oracle Label Security
lbac
Oracle Partitioning
partitioning
Real Application Testing
rat
For Oracle Database 12.1, only the following components can be enabled/disabled:
Product/Component
Option
Oracle Data Mining
dm
Oracle OLAP
olap
Oracle Partitioning
partitioning
Real Application Testing
rat
