2 Preparing to Install and Configure Oracle WebCenter Content

To prepare for your Oracle WebCenter Content installation, verify that your system meets the basic requirements, then obtain the correct installation software.

- Mandatory Steps for Installing WebCenter Content on Windows Operating Systems
There are two procedures you must run before you install Oracle WebCenter Content.

- Roadmap for Installing and Configuring the Standard Installation Topologies
Installing and configuration standard installation topology requires certain steps.

- Roadmap for Verifying Your System Environment
Before you begin the installation and configuration process, you must verify your system environment.

- Obtaining the Product Distribution
You can obtain the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle WebCenter Content distribution on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).

- About Product Distributions
You create the initial Oracle WebCenter Content domain using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution, which contains both Oracle WebLogic Server software and Oracle Java Required Files (JRF) software.

2.1 Mandatory Steps for Installing WebCenter Content on Windows Operating Systems

There are two procedures you must run before you install Oracle WebCenter Content.

- Disabling the 8.3 File Naming Convention on a Windows Operating System
Before you install Oracle WebCenter Content on a Windows Operating System, you must disable the 8.3 file naming convention (maximum 8-character file name and 3-character extension).

- Downloading Visual C++ Libraries
WebCenter Content and Inbound Refinery require the Visual C++ libraries included in Microsoft’s Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

2.1.1 Disabling the 8.3 File Naming Convention on a Windows Operating System

Before you install Oracle WebCenter Content on a Windows Operating System, you must disable the 8.3 file naming convention (maximum 8-character file name and 3-character extension).

If the WebCenter Content weblayout directory is on a file system with 8.3 semantics, the legacy 16-bit 8.3 file names conflict with revision labels, causing file loss.

To disable the 8.3 file naming convention on a Windows Operating System:

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor (regedit), and go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/FileSystem

2. Set the value of the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation key to 1.

3. Restart the Windows Operating System to make the change take effect.

2.1.2 Downloading Visual C++ Libraries

WebCenter Content and Inbound Refinery require the Visual C++ libraries included in Microsoft’s Visual C++ Redistributable Package.

You must download two packages (Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1) that contain the libraries.

To download the packages:

1. Go to the Microsoft Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

2. Search for Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) .

3. Download the vcredist_x64.exe file.

4. Search for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)

5. Download the vcredist_x64.exe file.

2.3 Roadmap for Verifying Your System Environment

Before you begin the installation and configuration process, you must verify your system environment.

The following table identifies important tasks and checks to perform to ensure that your environment is properly prepared for installing and configuring Oracle WebCenter Content.

Table 2-2 Roadmap for Verifying Your System Environment

Task

Description

Documentation

Verify certification and system requirements.

Verify that your operating system is certified and properly configured for installation and configuration.

See Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements.

Identify a proper installation user.

Verify that the installation user has the proper permissions to install and configure the software.

See Selecting an Installation User.

Select the installation and configuration directories on your system.

Verify that you can create the necessary directories for installation and configuration, according to the recommended directory structure.

See Understanding Directories for Installation and Configuration.

Install a certified JDK.

The installation program for the distribution requires a certified JDK present on your system.

See Understanding JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation.

Install and configure a database for mid-tier schemas.

To configure your WebLogic domain, you must have access to a certified database that is properly configured for schemas required by Oracle WebCenter Content.

See Understanding Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation.

- Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements
Oracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirements documents with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements for installation.

- Selecting an Installation User
The user who performs installation and configuration on your system requires sufficient permissions and privileges.

- Understanding Directories for Installation and Configuration
During the installation and domain configuration process, you must plan on providing the locations for these directories: Oracle home, Domain home, and the Application home.

- Understanding JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation
Most Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions do not include a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certified JDK already installed on your system.

- Understanding Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation
Many Oracle Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior to configuration. If you do not already have a database where you can install these schemas, you must install and configure a certified database.

2.3.1 Verifying Certification, System, and Interoperability Requirements

Oracle recommends that you use the certification matrix and system requirements documents with each other to verify that your environment meets the requirements for installation.

1. Verifying your environment meets certification requirements
Make sure that you are installing your product on a supported hardware and software configuration. For more information, see the certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

Oracle has tested and verified the performance of your product on all certified systems and environments. Whenever new certifications occur, they are added to the proper certification document right away. New certifications can be released at any time. Therefore, the certification documents are kept outside the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

2. Using the system requirements document to verify certification
Oracle recommends that you use the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document to verify that the certification requirements are met. For example, if the certification document indicates that your product is certified for installation on 64-Bit Oracle Linux 6.5, use this document to verify that your system meets the required minimum specifications. These include disk space, available memory, specific platform packages and patches, and other operating system-specific items. System requirements can change in the future. Therefore, the system requirement documents are kept outside of the documentation libraries and are available on Oracle Technology Network.

3. Verifying interoperability among multiple products
See Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c Interoperability and Compatibility in Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility to learn how to install and run multiple Fusion Middleware products from the same release or mixed releases with each other.

2.3.2 Selecting an Installation User

The user who performs installation and configuration on your system requires sufficient permissions and privileges.

- Understanding User Permissions
The user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certain permissions on the files.

- Understanding Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating Systems
Changing the default permissions setting reduces the security of the installation and possibly your system. Oracle does not recommend changing default permission settings.

- Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on Windows Operating Systems
To update the Windows Registry, you must have Administrator privileges.

2.3.2.1 Understanding User Permissions

The user who installs a Fusion Middleware product owns the files and has certain permissions on the files.

- Read and write permissions on all non-executable files (for example, .jar, .properties, or .xml). All other users in the same group as the file owner have read permissions only.

- Read, write, and execute permissions on all executable files (for example, .exe, .sh, or .cmd). All other users in the same group as the file owner have read and execute permissions only.

This means that someone other than the person who installs the software can use the installed binaries in the Oracle home to configure a domain or set of Fusion Middleware products.

During configuration, the files generated by the configuration process are owned by the user who ran the Configuration Wizard, with the same permissions as described above for the installation user. However, security-sensitive files are not created with group permissions. Only the user that created the domain has read and write permissions and can administer the domain.

Consider the following examples:

- Example 1: A Single User Installs the Software and Configures the Domain
This example shows the permissions if the same user installs the software and configures the domain.

To ensure the proper permissions and privileges for all files, Oracle recommends that the same owner perform both tasks: install the Oracle Fusion Middleware product and configure the WebLogic Server domain using the Configuration Wizard.

If the user who creates the domain is different than the user who installed the software, then both users must have the same privileges, as shown in the next example.

- Example 2: The Oracle Home and Domain are Created by Different Users
This example shows the permissions where one user creates the Oracle home and another user configures the domain.

Note:
Certain domain files do not have group permissions. For example, cwallet.sso.

Consider the following items before running the installer:

- On UNIX operating systems, Oracle recommends that you set umask to 027 on your system before you install the software. This ensures that file permissions are set properly during installation. Use the following command:
umask 027

You must enter this command in the same terminal window from which you plan to run the product installer.

- On UNIX operating systems, do not run the installation program as the root user. If you run the installer as a root user, the startup validation may fail and you cannot continue the installation.

- When you manage a product installation (for example, applying patches or starting managed Servers), use the same user ID that you used to install the product.

- On Windows operating systems, you must have Administrative privileges to install the product. See Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on Windows Operating Systems for more information.

2.3.2.2 Understanding Non-Default User Permissions on UNIX Operating Systems

Changing the default permissions setting reduces the security of the installation and possibly your system. Oracle does not recommend changing default permission settings.

If other users require access to particular files or executable, consider using the UNIX sudo command (or other similar command) in lieu of changing file permissions.

Refer to your UNIX operating system Administrator's Guide or contact your operating system vendor if you need further assistance.

2.3.2.3 Verifying the Installation User has Administrator Privileges on Windows Operating Systems

To update the Windows Registry, you must have Administrator privileges.

By default, members with the Administrator privilege sign in to the system with regular privileges, but can request elevated permissions to perform administrative tasks.

To perform a task with elevated privileges:

1. Find the Command Prompt item, either from the Start menu or the Windows icon in the lower-left hand corner.

2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
This opens a new command prompt window, and all actions performed in this window will be done with administrator privileges.

Note:
If you have User Access Control enabled on your system, you may see an additional window asking you to confirm this action. Confirm and continue with this procedure.

3. Perform the desired task.

For example, to start the product installer:

For a jar file, enter:

java —jar distribution_name.jar

For an executable (.exe, .bin, or .sh file), enter:

distribution_name.exe

2.3.3 Understanding Directories for Installation and Configuration

During the installation and domain configuration process, you must plan on providing the locations for these directories: Oracle home, Domain home, and the Application home.

- Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure
Oracle recommends specific locations for the Oracle Home, Domain Home, and Application Home.

- About the Oracle Home Directory
When you install any Oracle Fusion Middleware product, you must use an Oracle home directory.

- About the Domain Home Directory
The Domain home is the directory where domains that you configure are created.

- About the Application Home Directory
The Application home is the directory where applications for domains you configure are created.

- Installing Multiple Products in the Same Domain
There are two methods for installing and configuring multiple products in one domain.

- Preparing for Shared Storage
Oracle Fusion Middleware enables you to configure multiple Oracle WebLogic Server domains from a single Oracle home. This allows you to install the Oracle home in a single location on a shared volume and reuse the Oracle home for multiple host installations.

2.3.3.1 Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure

Oracle recommends specific locations for the Oracle Home, Domain Home, and Application Home.

Oracle recommends a directory structure similar to the one shown in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Recommended Oracle Fusion Middleware Directory Structure

A base location (Oracle base) should be established on your system (for example, /home/oracle) and from there, two separate branches should be created. The product directory should contain the product binary files and all of the Oracle home directories. The config directory should contain your domain and application data.

Oracle recommends that you do not keep your configuration data anywhere underneath the Oracle home; if you upgrade your product to another major release, you will be required to create a new Oracle home for binaries. You must also make sure that your configuration data exist in a location to which the binaries in the Oracle home have access.

The /home/oracle/product (for the Oracle home) and /home/oracle/config (for the application and configuration data) directories are used in examples throughout the documentation; be sure to replace these directories with the actual directories on your system.

2.3.3.2 About the Oracle Home Directory

When you install any Oracle Fusion Middleware product, you must use an Oracle home directory.

This directory is a repository for common files that are used by multiple Fusion Middleware products installed on the same machine. These files are essential to ensuring that Fusion Middleware operates correctly on your system. They facilitate checking of cross-product dependencies during installation. For this reason, you can consider the Oracle home directory a central support directory for all Oracle Fusion Middleware products installed on your system.

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Oracle home directory as ORACLE_HOME.

Oracle Home Considerations

Keep the following in mind when creating the Oracle home directory and installing Fusion Middleware products:

- Do not include spaces in the name of your Oracle home directory; the installer gives you an error message if your Oracle home directory path contains spaces.

- You can install only one instance of each Oracle Fusion Middleware product in a single Oracle home directory. If you need to maintain separate versions of a product on the same machine, each version must be in its own Oracle home directory.
Although you can have several different products in a single Oracle home, only one version of each product can be in the Oracle home.

Multiple Home Directories

Although in most situations, a single Oracle home directory is sufficient, it is possible to create more than one Oracle home directory. For example, you need to maintain multiple Oracle home directories in the following situations:

- You prefer to maintain separate development and production environments, with a separate product stack for each. With two directories, you can update your development environment without modifying the production environment until you are ready to do so.

- You want to maintain two different versions of a Fusion Middleware product at the same time. For example, you may want to install a new version of a product while keeping your existing version intact. In this case, you must install each product version in its own Oracle home directory.

- You need to install multiple products that are not compatible with each other. See Oracle Fusion Middleware 12c (12.2.1.1) Interoperability and Compatibility in Understanding Interoperability and Compatibility for more information.

Note:
If you create more than one Oracle home directory, you must provide non-overlapping port ranges during the configuration phase for each product.

2.3.3.3 About the Domain Home Directory

The Domain home is the directory where domains that you configure are created.

The default Domain home location is ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/domains/domain_name. However, Oracle strongly recommends that you do not use this default location. Put your Domain home outside of the Oracle home directory, for example, in /home/oracle/config/domains. The config directory should contain domain and application data. Oracle recommends a separate domain directory so that new installs, patches, and other operations update the ORACLE_HOME only, not the domain configuration.

See Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure for more about the recommended directory structure and locating your Domain home.

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Domain home directory as DOMAIN_HOME and includes all folders up to and including the domain name. For example, if you name your domain exampledomain and locate your domain data in the /home/oracle/config/domains directory, the documentation would use DOMAIN_HOME to refer to /home/oracle/config/domains/exampledomain.

2.3.3.4 About the Application Home Directory

The Application home is the directory where applications for domains you configure are created.

The default Application home location is ORACLE_HOME/user_projects/applications/domain_name. However, Oracle strongly recommends locating your Application home outside of the Oracle home directory; if you upgrade your product to another major release, you must create a new Oracle home for binaries.

See Understanding the Recommended Directory Structure for more about the recommended directory structure and locating your Application home.

Fusion Middleware documentation refers to the Application home directory as APPLICATION_HOME and includes all folders up to and including the domain name. For example, if you name your domain exampledomain and you locate your application data in the /home/oracle/config/applications directory, the documentation uses APPLICATION_HOME to refer to /home/oracle/config/applications/exampledomain.

2.3.3.5 Installing Multiple Products in the Same Domain

There are two methods for installing and configuring multiple products in one domain.

- Method 1.
Install and configure Product A, including creating the schemas and starting all servers in the domain to verify a successful domain configuration.

This is the method used in all installation guides in the Fusion Middleware library. You can repeat this process for as many products as necessary. It allows you to validate one product at a time and add more products incrementally.

To install Product B, you stop the Administration Server to prevent any updates to the domain while you are adding the new product. Then, follow instructions in the installation guide for Product B, including creating the necessary schemas. Finally, extend the Product A domain to include Product B before starting all of the servers again.

- Method 2.
Install all of the necessary products, then create the schemas for all of the products. After creating the schemas, configure the domain using all of the necessary product templates, then start all the servers.

This method of creating a multi-product domain may be slightly faster; however, the installation guides in the Fusion Middleware library do not provide specific instructions for this method of domain creation. You will need to refer to the supporting documentation as appropriate.

2.3.3.6 Preparing for Shared Storage

Oracle Fusion Middleware enables you to configure multiple Oracle WebLogic Server domains from a single Oracle home. This allows you to install the Oracle home in a single location on a shared volume and reuse the Oracle home for multiple host installations.

If you plan to use shared storage in your environment, see Using Shared Storage in High Availability Guide for more information.

2.3.4 Understanding JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation

Most Fusion Middleware products are in .jar file format. These distributions do not include a JDK. To run a .jar distribution installer, you must have a certified JDK already installed on your system.

Make sure that the JDK is installed outside of the Oracle home. If you install the JDK under the Oracle home, you will encounter problems when you try to perform tasks in the future. Oracle Universal Installer validates that the Oracle home directory is empty; the install will not progress until you specify an empty directory. Oracle recommends that you locate your JDK installation in the /home/oracle/products/jdk directory.

Some products (such as Oracle HTTP Server and Oracle JDeveloper) are available as platform-specific distributions. Platform-specific distributions have a .bin (for UNIX operating systems) or .exe (for Windows operating systems) installer; in these cases, a platform-specific JDK is in the distribution and you do not need to install a JDK separately. However, you may need to upgrade this JDK to a more recent version, depending on the JDK versions that are certified.

Always verify the required JDK version by reviewing the certification information on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

To download the required JDK, navigate to the following URL and download the Java SE JDK:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

2.3.5 Understanding Database Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation

Many Oracle Fusion Middleware products require database schemas prior to configuration. If you do not already have a database where you can install these schemas, you must install and configure a certified database.

To find a certified database for your operating system, see the certification document for your release on the Oracle Fusion Middleware Supported System Configurations page.

To make sure your database is properly configured for schema creation, see "Repository Creation Utility Requirements" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware System Requirements and Specifications document.

After your database is properly configured, you use the Repository Creation Utility (RCU) to create product schemas in your database. This tool is available in the Oracle home for your Oracle Fusion Middleware product. For more information about the RCU, see Understanding Repository Creation Utility in Creating Schemas with the Repository Creation Utility.

2.4 Obtaining the Product Distribution

You can obtain the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle WebCenter Content distribution on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).

To prepare to install Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle WebCenter Content:

1. Enter java -version on the command line to verify that a certified JDK is installed on your system. For 12c (12.2.1.1), the certified JDK is 1.8.0_77 and later.
For more information, see Understanding JDK Requirements for an Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation.

2. Locate and download the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure and Oracle WebCenter Content software.
See Obtaining Product Distributions in Planning an Installation of Oracle Fusion Middleware.

2.5 About Product Distributions

You create the initial Oracle WebCenter Content domain using the Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure distribution, which contains both Oracle WebLogic Server software and Oracle Java Required Files (JRF) software.

Oracle JRF software consists of:

- Oracle Web Services Manager

- Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF)

4.2.2.15 Configuring Managed Servers for Oracle WebCenter Content

You create and configure new Managed Servers on the Managed Servers Screen.

You create two Managed Servers for each component, with the exception of Inbound Refinery.

1. In the Listen Address drop-down list, select the IP address of the host on that the Managed Servers will reside on or use the system name or DNS name that maps to a single IP address. Do not use "All Local Addresses."

2. Select Enable SSL to enable an SSL (https) connection for WebCenter Content and WebCenter Content User Interface. Revise the SSL Listen Port value as needed.

3. Leave the Server Groups settings as they appear; the Configuration Wizard assigns the correct server group automatically. A server group ensures that the correct services target Managed Servers you are creating.

Server groups target Fusion Middleware applications and services to one or more servers by mapping defined application service groups to each defined server group. You can map a given application service group to multiple server groups if needed. Any application services that map to a certain server group are automatically targeted to all servers assigned to that group. For more information, see Application Service Groups, Server Groups, and Application Service Mappings in Domain Template Reference.

4. Click Add and repeat this process to create a second Managed Server for each component except for Inbound Refinery. For example, cpt_server_2.

You must configure a second Managed Server to configure the standard topology for high availability. If you are not creating a highly available environment, then this step is optional.

For more about the high availability standard topology, see Understanding the Fusion Middleware Standard HA Topology in High Availability Guide.

For more information about the next steps to prepare for high availability after your domain is configured, see Preparing Your Environment for High Availability.

Examples and procedures in the rest of this document refer to these server names; if you choose different names be sure to replace them as needed.

Tip:

For more about options on this screen, see Managed Servers in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

4.2.2.16 Configuring a Cluster for WebCenter Content

Use the Clusters screen to create a new cluster.

On the Clusters screen:

1. Click Add.

2. Specify wcc_cluster_1 in the Cluster Name field.

3. Leave the Cluster Address field blank.

Repeat the preceding steps to create three more clusters: cpt_cluster_1, ibr_cluster_1, and wccui_cluster_1.

By default, server instances in a cluster communicate with one another using unicast. If you want to change your cluster communications to use multicast, see Considerations for Choosing Unicast or Multicast in Administering Clusters for Oracle WebLogic Server.

You can also create clusters using Fusion Middleware Control. In this case, you can configure cluster communication (unicast or multicast) when you create the new cluster. For more information, see "Create and configure clusters" in Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console Online Help.

Tip:

For more information about this screen, see Clusters in Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard.

4.2.2.17 Assigning WebCenter Content Managed Servers to the Cluster

Use the Assign Servers to Clusters screen to assign Managed Servers to the new cluster.

On the Assign Servers to Clusters screen:

1. In the Clusters pane, select the cluster to which you want to assign the Managed Servers; in this case, wcc_cluster_1.

2. In the Servers pane, assign wcc_server_1 to wcc_cluster_1 by doing one of the following:

- Click once on wcc_server_1 to select it, then click the right arrow to move it beneath the selected cluster (wcc_cluster_1) in the Clusters pane.

- Double-click on wcc_server_1 to move it beneath the selected cluster (wcc_cluster_1) in the Clusters pane.

4.2.2.18 Configuring Coherence Clusters

Use the Coherence Clusters screen to configure the Coherence cluster.

Leave the default port number as the Coherence cluster listen port. After configuration, the Coherence cluster is automatically added to the domain.

Note:

Setting the unicast listen port to 0 creates an offset for the Managed Server port numbers. The offset is 5000, meaning the maximum allowed value that you can assign to a Managed Server port number is 60535, instead of 65535.

See Table 5-2 for more information and next steps for configuring Coherence.

Note:

For Coherence licensing information, see Oracle Coherence Products in Licensing Information.

4.2.2.19 Creating a New WebCenter Content Machine

Use the Machines screen to create new machines in the domain. A machine is required so that Node Manager can start and stop servers.

Tip:

If you plan to create a high availability environment and know the list of machines your target topology requires, you can follow the instructions in this section to create all the machines at this time. For more information, see Optional Scale Out Procedure in High Availability Guide.

To create a new WebCenter Content machine so that Node Manager can start and stop servers:

1. Select the Machine tab (for Windows) or the UNIX Machine tab (for UNIX), then click Add to create a new machine.

2. In the Name field, specify a machine name, such as wcc_machine_1.

3. In the Node Manager Listen Address field, select the IP address of the machine in which the Managed Servers are being configured.

cd /home/Oracle/product
rm -rf ORACLE_HOME

On a Windows operating system, if your Oracle home directory is C:\Oracle\Product\ORACLE_HOME, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Product directory, then right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and select Delete.

6.6 Removing the Program Shortcuts on Windows Operating Systems

On Windows operating systems, you must also manually remove the program shortcuts; the deinstaller does not remove them for you.

To remove the program shortcuts on Windows:

1. Go to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Oracle\ORACLE_HOME\Product directory.

2. If you only have one product installed in your Oracle home, delete the ORACLE_HOME directory. If you have multiple products installed in your Oracle home, delete all products before deleting the ORACLE_HOME directory.

6.7 Removing the Domain and Application Data

After deinstalling the software, you must remove the domain and application data.

To remove the domain and application data:

1. Manually remove your Domain home directory. For example:

On a UNIX operating system, if your Domain home directory is /home/Oracle/config/domains/wcc_domain, enter the following command:

cd /home/Oracle/config/domains
rm -rf wcc_domain

On a Windows operating system, if your Domain home directory is C:\Oracle\Config\domains\wcc_domain, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Config\domains directory, then right-click on the wcc_domain folder and select Delete.

2. Manually remove your Application home directory. For example:

On a UNIX operating system, if your Application home directory is /home/Oracle/config/applications/wcc_domain, enter the following commands:

cd /home/Oracle/config/applications
rm -rf wcc_domain

On a Windows operating system, if your Application home directory is C:\Oracle\Config\applications\wcc_domain, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\Config\applications directory, then right-click on the wcc_domain folder and select Delete.

3. Back up the domain_registry.xml file in your Oracle home, then edit the file and remove the line associated with the domain you are removing. For example, to remove the wcc_domain, find the following line and remove it:

<domain location="/home/Oracle/config/domains/wcc_domain"/>

Save and exit the file when you are finished.

6.8 Reinstalling the Software

You can reinstall your software into the same Oracle home as a previous installation only if you deinstalled the software by following the instructions in this section, including manually removing the Oracle home directory.

When you reinstall, you can then specify the same Oracle home as your previous installation.

Consider the following cases where the Oracle home is not empty:

- Installing in an existing Oracle home that contains the same feature sets.
The installer warns you that the Oracle home you specified during installation already contains the same software you are trying to install.

- Installing in an existing, non-empty Oracle home.
For example, suppose that you chose to create your Domain home or Application home somewhere inside your existing Oracle home. This data is not removed during the deinstallation process, so if you try to reinstall into the same Oracle home, the installer does not allow it. Your options are:

1. Deinstall your software from the Oracle home (as this section describes) and then remove the Oracle home directory. After you deinstall the software and remove the Oracle home directory, you can reinstall and reuse the same Oracle home location. Any domain or application data that was in the Oracle home must be re-created.

2. Select a different Oracle home directory.
