2 Requirements for Installing Companion CD Products

The following sections describe the requirements for installing Companion CD products:

2.1 Hardware and Software Certification

Because new platforms and operating system software versions may be certified after this guide is published, you must review the certification information on the OracleMetaLink Web site at

http://metalink.oracle.com/

2.2 General Requirements for Installing Oracle Software

The following are the general requirements for installing Oracle software:

  • Logging in to the system as the root user

    Unless you intend to complete a silent installation, you must install the software from an X Window System workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other system with X server software installed.

  • Setting up the required operating system group

    You must create the Oracle Inventory group the first time you install Oracle software on the system, if it does not already exist. This group owns the Oracle inventory, which is a catalog of all Oracle software installed on the system. Typically, the name chosen for this group is oinstall.

  • Setting up the required Oracle software owner user

    The Oracle software owner user owns all of the software installed during a given installation. This user must have the Oracle Inventory group as its primary group. You must create an Oracle software owner user if any of the following conditions is true:

    • An Oracle software owner user does not exist. This condition may be true if this is the first installation of Oracle software on the system.

    • An Oracle software owner user exists, but you want to use a different operating system user.

    If the Oracle software owner user exists, but its primary group is not the Oracle Inventory group, then you should modify it.

    Note:

    In this document, the Oracle software owner user is referred to as oracle.

  • Setting up the Oracle base directory

    The Oracle base directory acts as a top-level directory for Oracle software installations. The Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) guidelines recommend that you use a path similar to the following for the Oracle base directory:

    /mount_point/app/oracle_sw_owner

    In this example:

    • mount_point is the full path of the mount point directory for the file system that will contain the Oracle software

    • oracle_sw_owner is a directory that is given the same name as the name of the operating system user that you intend to use to perform the installation

  • Setting up the Oracle Inventory directory

    The first time you install Oracle software on a computer, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to specify the path to the Oracle Inventory directory. For all subsequent installations of Oracle software, the same Oracle Inventory directory is used.

  • Setting up the Oracle home

    You must install different Oracle products, or different releases of the same Oracle product, in separate Oracle home directories. Every time you run Oracle Universal Installer, it prompts you to specify the path and a name for this directory.

  • Configuring the oracle user's environment

    To configure the oracle user's environment, you must:

    • Set the default file mode creation mask (umask) to 022 in the shell startup file.

    • Set the DISPLAY environment variable.

    • Ensure that the ORACLE_HOME and TNS_ADMIN environment variables are not set.

2.3 Requirements for Installing Oracle HTTP Server from the Oracle HTML DB Installation Type

The following are the requirements for installing Oracle HTTP Server from the Oracle HTML DB installation type:

2.3.1 Oracle Database Requirement

Oracle HTTP Server must have access to an Oracle9i Database release 9.2.0.3 or later instance in order to run. Oracle Database can be on a separate system from Oracle HTTP Server, as long as it is accessible by using Oracle*Net. However, Oracle HTTP Server must be in its own home.

2.3.2 Hardware Requirements

The system must meet the following hardware requirements:

  • 256 MB of physical RAM

  • 512 MB of swap space

  • 125 MB of free disk space in the /tmp directory

  • 530 MB of disk space for the software files

To ensure that the system meets these requirements:

  1. To determine the physical RAM size, enter the following command:

    # /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep "Memory size"

    If the size of the physical RAM installed on the system is less than the required size, then you must install more memory before continuing.

  2. To determine the size of the configured swap space, enter the following command:

    # /usr/sbin/swap -s

    If necessary, refer to your operating system documentation for information about how to configure additional swap space.

  3. To determine the amount of free disk space on the system, enter the following command:

    # df -k

  4. To determine if the system architecture can run the software, enter the following command:

    # /bin/isainfo -kv

    The expected output of this command is the processor type. Verify that the processor architecture matches the requirement for the current release.

    Note:

    If you do not see the expected output, then you cannot install the software on this system.

2.3.3 Software Requirements

The system must meet the software requirements described in the following table.

  • The operating system version must be Solaris 8 Update 7 or later, Solaris 9 update 6 or later, and Solaris 10.

    Enter values for the following parameters, and then click OK.

    • Inbound Email Account: Server Name: Enter the name of the inbound IMAP mail server.

    • Inbound Email Account: Username: Enter the user name of the mail account where the notification mailer receives e-mail messages.

    • Inbound Email Account: Password: Enter the password of the mail account specified in the Username field.

    • Outbound Email Account: Server Name: Enter the name of the outbound SMTP mail server.

    • Email Processing: Processed Folder: Enter the name of the mail folder in the inbound e-mail account where the notification mailer places successfully processed notification messages.

    • Email Processing: Discard Folder: Enter the name of the mail folder in the inbound e-mail account where the notification mailer places incoming messages that are not recognized as notification messages.

    • Message Generation: HTML Agent: Enter the base URL that identifies the Web agent defined for Oracle Workflow in Oracle HTTP Server. The notification mailer uses this URL to support e-mail notifications with HTML attachments. By default, this parameter is set to the following placeholder value:

      http://localhost.com/pls/wf

      If you have already installed Oracle HTTP Server, then replace localhost.com with the server and TCP/IP port number on which the Web listener accepts requests. Otherwise, leave this parameter set to the placeholder value. In this case, you must set this parameter in the notification mailer configuration wizard in Oracle Workflow Manager after you install Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle Workflow.

    • Message Generation: Reply-To Address: Enter the address of the e-mail account that receives incoming messages, to which notification responses should be sent.

      After the initial installation, you can, if required, update the notification mailer configuration values in the Oracle Workflow Manager. You can also update the HTML agent value for Oracle Workflow in the Global Workflow preferences Web page.

    • Name: Enter a name for the Oracle home. You can install the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products in a new Oracle home. Alternatively, you can install Oracle Workflow middle tier only in an existing Oracle HTTP Server Oracle home. You cannot install the Oracle Database 10g Companion Products in an existing Oracle Database home.

    • Path: Enter the directory location for the Oracle home. If the directory does not exist, then Oracle Universal Installer creates it for you.

  3. On the Product-specific Prerequisite Checks screen, check for and correct any errors that may have occurred while Oracle Universal Installer was checking your system.

    If you are installing Oracle Workflow middle tier only in an existing Oracle HTTP Server Oracle home, then you may need to manually verify that the selected Oracle home exists. Then, click Next.

  4. On the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier Configuration screen, specify the configuration settings needed for the Oracle Workflow middle tier.

    To configure the Oracle Workflow middle tier, you must create a database access descriptor (DAD) in the mod_plsql configuration files and directory aliases in the Oracle HTTP Server configuration file. Oracle Universal Installer completes these tasks for you using the information that you specify. Enter the following information:

    • Workflow Schema

      Specify the user (schema) name that you used when installing the Oracle Workflow Server database objects in the database. The default user name is owf_mgr.

    • DB Hostname

      Specify the host name of the system on which the database is installed. If the host name is the local host, then enter the name of the computer, not localhost.

    • Port Number

      Specify the TCP/IP port number for the Oracle Net listener on the database system. The default port number is 1521.

    • Oracle SID

      Specify the database instance identifier (SID) for the database on which you installed the Oracle Workflow Server database objects.

  5. On the Oracle Workflow Middle Tier Configuration screen, enter a password for the Oracle Workflow schema that you created in the previous step, and then click Next.

  6. On the Oracle Apache Installation screen, enter the following information and then click Next.

    • Enter Password

      Specify the password for the Workflow user (typically, owf_mgr) that you specified on the previous screen. This password is used for the mod_plsql DAD.

    • Confirm Password

      Enter the password again to verify that you have specified it correctly.

  7. Refer to "Completing the Installation" to continue.

5 Completing the Installation

    After the script runs, click OK.

  3. On the End of Installation screen, make a note of the URLs used by Oracle HTTP Server.

  4. Click Exit, and then click Yes to exit from Oracle Universal Installer.
