For system requirement and certification information, refer to the following documents, available on Oracle Technology Network (OTN):

- Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm

This document contains information related to hardware and software requirements, minimum disk space and memory requirements, and required system libraries, packages, or patches.

- Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

This document contains information related to supported installation types, platforms, operating systems, databases, JDKs, and third-party products.

Note:
If you are installing the 32-bit version of the product, the system on which you are installing must also be a supported 32-bit system. Installing a 32-bit version of the product on a 64-bit system is not supported.

2.2 Installing 32-bit Software on 32-bit Operating Systems

If you are installing the 32-bit version of the product, the system on which you are installing must also be a supported 32-bit system. Installing a 32-bit version of the product on a 64-bit system is not supported.

2.3 Oracle Fusion Middleware Support of 64-bit JDK

If you are using a 64-bit JVM in your environment, ensure that all your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are using the 64-bit JVM. You cannot mix components using a 32-bit JVM with those using a 64-bit JVM.

Refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certifications matrix for information on the platforms that support a 64-bit JDK:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

If your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are running in a 64-bit JVM environment, ensure that WebLogic Server is installed with the 64-bit JDK. For 32-bit JVM support, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Release Notes for information on how to configure your environment for 32-bit JVM support for your platform.

2.4 Installing and Configuring a Database

Installation of Oracle Portal and Oracle Discoverer requires the availability of an Oracle database. The schemas for Oracle Portal and Oracle Discoverer are only supported on Oracle databases.

To find a certified Oracle database, visit the Oracle Fusion Middleware Certification document at following URL:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_certification.html

Your database must be up and running, and does not have to be on the same system where you are installing the products. The database must also be compatible with Repository Creation Utility (RCU), which is used to create the schemas necessary for Oracle Portal and Oracle Discoverer.

Note:
RCU is available only on Linux and Windows platforms. Either the Linux RCU or Windows RCU may be used to create schemas on any supported database platform.

After you have installed a database, make sure that it is configured correctly by referring to the "Repository Creation Utility Requirements" section in the System Requirements and Specification document:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/files/fusion_requirements.htm

2.5 Creating Schemas for Oracle Portal and Oracle Discoverer

Oracle Portal and Oracle Discoverer require that certain schemas exist in the database prior to installation. You must run Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create the schemas in the database.

First, you must obtain the latest version of RCU. To do so, go to the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11gR1 Software Download page on Oracle Technology Network:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/middleware/htdocs/111110_fmw.html

Look for Repository Creation Utility in the "Required Additional Software" table. After downloading the .zip file, extract the contents to a directory of your choice; this directory will be referred to as the RCU_HOME directory.

Note:
On Windows operating systems, make sure that you do not unzip the RCU .zip file to a directory name containing spaces.

Follow the instructions below to start RCU and create the schemas:

1. Start RCU from the RCU_HOME/bin (on Linux operating systems) or RCU_HOME\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory:
On Linux operating systems:

./rcu

On Windows operating systems:

rcu.bat

2. Welcome Screen
Click Next.

3. Create Repository Screen
Click Create.

Click Next.

4. Database Connection Details Screen
Select "Oracle Database" in the Database Type field, then provide the following credentials to connect:

- Host Name: Specify the name of the machine on which your database resides in the format host.domain.com.
For Oracle RAC databases, specify the Virtual IP name or one of the node names as the host name. For example:

ora-node1-vip.mycompany.com

- Port: Specify the database listener port number. The default port number for Oracle databases is 1521.
If you do not know the listen port number for your database, you can check the portlist.ini file, which is located in the ORACLE_HOME/install (on UNIX operating systems) or ORACLE_HOME\install (on Windows operating systems) directory on the machine where the database is located.

- Database Name: Specify the service name for the database. Typically, the service name is the same as the global database name.
If you are unsure what the service name for your database is, you can obtain it from the SERVICE_NAMES parameter in the database's initialization parameter file. If the initialization parameter file does not contain the SERVICE_NAMES parameter, then the service name is the same as the global database name, which is specified in the DB_NAME and DB_DOMAIN parameters.

For Oracle RAC databases, specify the service name of one of the nodes in this field. For example: sales.mydomain.com.

- Username: Specify the name of a user with DBA or SYSDBA privileges. The default user name with SYSDBA privileges is SYS.

- Password: Specify the password for your database user.

- Role: Select the database user's role from the drop-down list. The SYS user requires the SYSDBA role.

Click Next. A "Checking Prerequisites" screen will appear. If there are errors, some details about the error will be displayed on the Database Connection Details Screen. Fix the error messages and click Next again.

After the checking is complete with no errors, click OK to dismiss the screen.

5. Select Components Screen

Near the top of the screen, select Create a New Prefix. If you are the only user of the database instance, you may use the default prefix DEV.

2.7 Install Oracle Internet Directory for Oracle Portal

Oracle Portal requires an existing Oracle Internet Directory (OID) with Oracle Single Sign-On (SSO). If you are also installing Oracle Forms, Reports, or Discoverer, you will have the option to configure those products with an OID, but it is not mandatory for those products.

The following OID/SSO combinations are supported:

- Oracle Internet Directory 10g (10.1.4.3) with Oracle Single Sign-On 10g (10.1.4.3)

- Oracle Internet Directory 11g (11.1.1) with Oracle Single Sign-On 10g (10.1.4.3)

If you are not able to use an existing 10g Oracle SSO server, follow this sequence of steps to add a new Oracle SSO server:

1. Install either Oracle Internet Directory 10g (10.1.4.3) or Oracle Internet Directory 11g (11.1.1) on your system.

2. Install Oracle Single Sign-On 10g (10.1.4.3) on your system in a different Oracle home location than your Oracle Internet Directory installation.

Note:
Oracle Single Sign-On 10g (10.1.4.3) requires a separate Oracle home if it is installed with Oracle Internet Directory 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). However, installing Oracle Single Sign-On 10g (10.1.4.3) in a separate Oracle home from Oracle Internet Directory 10g (10.1.4.3) will make it easier for you to upgrade to Oracle Internet Directory 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) later if you choose.

Either during or after you install Oracle Single Sign-On, you must hook up Oracle Single Sign-On with your Oracle Internet Directory installation. For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management.

If you installed Oracle Internet Directory 11g (11.1.1), you can also refer to Oracle Fusion Middleware Quick Installation Guide for Oracle Identity Management.

3. Test your Oracle Single Sign-On configuration to make sure that it is working properly.

4. Install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1). During configuration, you will be able to hook up your installation with Oracle Single Sign-On.

2.8 Install and Configure Java Access Bridge (Windows Only)

If you are installing on a Windows machine, you have the option of installing and configuring Java Access Bridge for Section 508 Accessibility. This is only necessary if you require Section 508 Accessibility features:

1. Download Java Access Bridge from the following URL:

http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/accessibility/accessbridge/

2. Install Java Access Bridge.

3. Copy the access-bridge.jar and jaccess-1_4.jar from your installation location to the jre\lib\ext directory.

4. Copy the WindowsAccessBridge.dll, JavaAccessBridge.dll, and JAWTAccessBridge.dll files from your installation location to the jre\bin directory.

5. Copy the accessibility.properties file to the jre\lib directory.

For more information about Java Access Bridge, refer to "Install and Configure Java Access Bridge (Windows Only)" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.

2.9 Installing on DHCP Host

If you are installing Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a DHCP host, you must follow the configuration steps in this section for your platform.

2.9.1 For Linux x86 Platforms

On Linux x86 operating systems, configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries:

127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

After doing so, check that the hostname resolves to the loopback IP address by entering the following command:

/bin/ping hostname.domainname

2.9.2 For Windows x86 Platforms

On Windows operating systems, install a loopback adapter on the DHCP server (see Section 2.9.3, "Installing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)"). This assigns a local IP address to your computer.

After installing the adapter, add a line to the %SYSTEMROOT%/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file with the following format, immediately after the localhost line:

IP_address   hostname.domainname   hostname

Replace IP_address with the local IP address of the loopback adapter.

2.9.3 Installing a Loopback Adapter (Windows Only)

To install a loopback adapter on Windows 2003 or Windows XP:

1. Open the Windows Control Panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware.

Windows XP: Select Start > Control Panel, then double-click Add Hardware.

2. In the "Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Next.

3. In the "Is the hardware connected?" window, select Yes, I have already connected the hardware, then click Next.

4. In the "The following hardware is already installed on your computer" window, in the list of installed hardware, select Add a new hardware device, then click Next.

5. In the "The wizard can help you install other hardware" window, select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, then click Next.

6. In the "From the list of hardware types, select the type of hardware you are installing" window, select Network adapters, then click Next.

7. In the "Select Network Adapter" window, make the following selections:

8. Click Next.

9. In the "The wizard is ready to install your hardware" window, click Next.

10. In the "Completing the Add Hardware Wizard" window, click Finish.

11. If you are using Windows 2003, restart your computer.

12. Right-click My Network Places on the desktop and choose Properties. This displays the Network Connections Control Panel.

13. Right-click the connection that was just created. This is usually named "Local Area Connection 2". Choose Properties.

14. On the "General" tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click Properties.

15. In the "Properties" dialog box, click Use the following IP address and do the following:

1. IP Address: Enter a non-routable IP for the loopback adapter. Oracle recommends the following non-routable addresses:

192.168.x.x (x is any value between 1 and 255)
10.10.10.10

2. Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.

3. Record the values you entered, which you will need later in this procedure.

4. Leave all other fields empty.

5. Click OK.

16. In the "Local Area Connection 2 Properties" dialog, click OK.

3. In the "Device Manager" window, expand Network adapters. You should see Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

4. Right-click Microsoft Loopback Adapter and select Uninstall.

5. Click OK.

2.10 Installing on a Non-Networked Computer

You can install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a non-networked computer, such as a laptop. Because a non-networked computer has no access to other computers, you have to install all the components that you need on the computer.

In addition, you must follow the instructions in Section 2.9, "Installing on DHCP Host" to install a loopback adapter and modify the hosts file on your system.

2.11 Installing on a Multihomed Computer

You can install Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer on a multihomed computer. A multihomed computer is associated with multiple IP addresses. This is typically achieved by having multiple network cards on the computer. Each IP address is associated with a hostname; additionally, you can set up aliases for each hostname.

The installer picks up the fully qualified domain name from the first entry in /etc/hosts (on UNIX operating systems) or %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (on Windows operating systems) file. So if your file looks like the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.222.333.444 myhost1.mycompany.com myhost1
20.222.333.444 devhost2.mycompany.com devhost2

myhost1.mycompany.com would be picked for configuration.

For specific network configuration of a system component, refer to the individual component's configuration documentation.

3 Installation Types

The Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer installer will present you with two types of installation:

- Install and Configure

- Install Software - Do Not Configure

The Install and Configure option will install the product binaries in an Oracle home directory and create and configure a working instance in an Oracle Instance directory. After this is complete, you should be able to begin configuring and managing your products.

The Install Software - Do Not Configure option only installs the software binaries in an Oracle home directory. You must then manually run the Configuration Tool from your ORACLE_HOME/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or ORACLE_HOME\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory to configure your products before you can use them. This option can be used to quickly create multiple instances of the software that share a common disk.

For more information about Oracle home and Oracle instance directories, refer to "Oracle Fusion Middleware Directory Structure" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.

7 Verifying the Installation

After you have successfully run the installer and configuration wizard, you can verify the status of your installation by performing any combination of the following:

- Verifying the Installation Logs

- Verifying the Domain Server Logs

- Verifying OPMN Status

- Checking Browser URLs

7.1 Verifying the Installation Logs

Check for the presence of installation log files in logs directory inside your Oracle Inventory directory. On UNIX operating systems, if you do not know the location of your Oracle Inventory directory, you can find it in the ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc file. On Windows operating systems, the default location for the inventory directory is C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs.

7.2 Verifying the Domain Server Logs

Check the domain server logs, which are located in the servers directory inside the domain home directory.

On UNIX operating systems:

ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name/servers/server_name

On Windows operating systems:

ORACLE_HOME\user_projects\domains\domain_name\servers\server_name

7.3 Verifying OPMN Status

Run the opmnctl status command from the INSTANCE_HOME/bin (on UNIX operating systems) or INSTANCE_HOME\bin (on Windows operating systems) directory in your instance home location. The example below shows the output on a UNIX operating system:

> ./opmnctl status

Processes in Instance: asinst_1
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+---------
ias-component                    | process-type       |     pid | status
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+---------
emagent_asinst_1                 | EMAGENT            |   11849 | Alive
wc1                              | WebCache-admin     |   11333 | Alive
wc1                              | WebCache           |   11332 | Alive
ohs1                             | OHS                |   11207 | Alive

This information shows the components configured for this installation. The status "Alive" means the component is up and running.

You can also run the opmnctl status -l command to obtain a list of ports used by the components. The example below shows the output on a UNIX operating system:

> ./opmnctl status -l

Processes in Instance: asinst_1
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+----------+------------+----------+-----------+------
ias-component                    | process-type       |     pid | status   |        uid |  memused |    uptime | ports
---------------------------------+--------------------+---------+----------+------------+----------+-----------+------
emagent_asinst_1                 | EMAGENT            |   11849 | Alive    | 1133259606 |     4204 |   0:09:38 | N/A
wc1                              | WebCache-admin     |   11333 | Alive    | 1133259605 |    43736 |   0:15:35 | http_admin:8091
wc1                              | WebCache           |   11332 | Alive    | 1133259604 |    63940 |   0:15:35 | http_stat:8092,http_invalidation:8093,https_listen:8094,http_listen:8090
ohs1                             | OHS                |   11207 | Alive    | 1133259603 |    50744 |   0:15:43 | https:8889,https:8890,http:8888
