Installation of Oracle Database 11g Release 2 installs all the licensable options. Though installed, not all the licensable options are enabled by default. During installation, installer gives an option for users to enable the licensable options that are not enabled in a default installation. Users can also choose to disable some licensable options that are enabled by default. (Please refer to "Licensing Information" document released for the specific Oracle Database release for a list of options licensed under each specific database edition.)
Once the installation is done, users can still disable or enable some licensable options. This article explains how to enable or disable a specific licensable option from an already installed Oracle home.
Solution
With Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.x), it is not possible to deinstall/remove a specific licensable option from an already installed database Oracle home. However, users can choose to enable or disable a specific licensable option using the chopt tool. The chopt tool is a command-line utility that is located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. The syntax for chopt is:
chopt [ enable | disable] db_option
The possible values for db_option are described in the following table:
Value Description
_________________________________________________
dm Oracle Data Mining RDBMS Files
dv Oracle Database Vault
lbac Oracle Label Security
olap Oracle OLAP
partitioning Oracle Partitioning
rat Oracle Real Application Testing
_________________________________________________
For example, to enable the Oracle Label Security option in your Oracle binary files, stop the database, run the following command, and start the database.
chopt enable lbac
