Infrastructure Installation

Back to List

The installation of Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

10g consists of the following components:

Identity Management Components: Identity Management components provide directory, security, and user
management functionality to various components of Oracle Application Server 10g. The components of Identity
Management are as follows:
Oracle Internet Directory
Oracle Application Server Single-Sign-On
Oracle Delegated Administration Services
Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning
Oracle Certificate Authority
OracleAS 10g Metadata Repository: OracleAS 10g Metadata Repository is a collection of database schemas that
contain various database objects that are used by Oracle Application Server 10g Components. The metadata schemas
can be categorized as:
Product metadata
Identity Management metadata
Management metadata

Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure is required

for all the Oracle Application Server 10g middle-tier installations except

when installing the J2EE and Web Cache without single sign-on or clustering.

You must install an Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure in your

network prior to installing the Portal and Wireless and Business Intelligence

and Forms. For better performance and easier manageability, you must install
 Oracle Application Server 10g Infrastructure on a separate computer.

Now you are ready to install Oracle Application Server Infrastructure

10g. Perform the following steps:

Log in to the Linux box as the user oracle and mount the Oracle Application Server 10g Release 9.0.4 CD. Change directory to the CD and
1. execute the runInstaller script.

prompt>./runInstaller
 In the Oracle Universal Installer Welcome window, click Next.

Because this is the first installation, you must specify a directory for the installer files. This directory contains the files only for the installation and
2. not for the products you are installing.

Change the location to /home/oracle/oraInventory. Click OK.

 Specify the UNIX group name that has the permission to update the Oracle database and other Oracle applications on the system. Enter the
3. name as oinstall. Click Next.
 This prompts you to execute a shell script in a different window. Keep this window open and execute the script as shown in the next step.
4.
 You must execute orainstRoot.sh as the root user. Open a terminal window and enter the following commands:
5.
su
<rootpassword>
cd /home/oracle/oraInventory
ls
./orainstRoot.sh
 Switch back to the Universal Installer window and click Continue.
6.
 In the Destination section, specify the name as infra and change the path to /home/oracle/infra. Click Next.
7.
 Select the OracleAS Infrastructure 10g installation option. Click Next.
