• Oracle9i Enterprise Edition database version 9.0.1 or higher, along with the Oracle Objects and JServer Options, installed on a supported server machine

• At least 40 Mb of available disk space for Oracle Workflow Server once it is installed in your Oracle Home

• At least 128 Mb of memory, 256 Mb recommended

• Oracle Net 9.0.1 or higher

• SQL*Plus 9.0.1 or higher

• The following components of Oracle9i Application Server, installed on a server machine:

• Oracle HTTP Server (powered by Apache)

• Oracle Mod PL/SQL Gateway

Oracle Workflow supports Oracle9i Application Server 1.0.1 or higher. We recommend using the versions of Oracle HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and mod_plsql that are included on the Oracle9i database server CD.

• A Web browser that supports frames, JavaScript, Java Development Kit (JDK) Version 1.1.8 and AWT, such as Netscape Communicator version 4.73 or a higher 4.7x version, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0x or 5.5

• UNIX Sendmail or a MAPI-compliant mail application

• An unzip utility, such as WINZIP from NicoMak, to extract the Workflow HTML help from the wfdoc261.zip file

• Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 1.1.8, or a higher 1.1.x version, to run the Oracle Workflow 2.6.1 Java Function Activity Agent and the Workflow XML Loader

• ISO 9660 format CD-ROM available as a logical drive

• Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or higher

Notification Mailer

• The notifications component includes a program called the Notification Mailer. This program communicates notifications to users via e-mail and interprets responses. The Notification Mailer has implementations that can integrate directly with UNIX Sendmail or MAPI-compliant mail applications.

• The UNIX Sendmail implementation is installed automatically during the Oracle Workflow Server installation process. This implementation requires UNIX Sendmail to be installed on the same server as Oracle Workflow.

• The MAPI-compliant implementation is installed on your Windows NT PC using the Oracle Universal Installer from the Oracle client CD. This implementation requires a Windows NT MAPI-compliant mail application installed on the PC that is acting as your mail server.

Oracle Workflow Monitor

• The Oracle HTTP Server (powered by Apache) and mod_plsql components of Oracle9i Application Server must be installed on a server machine with access to an ISO 9660 format CD-ROM. If you do not have access to a CD-ROM drive from the workstation, then you must be able to copy files using binary file transfer from a PC or other machine with a CD-ROM drive.

Note: These notes assume that you have an understanding of web technology and the Oracle9i Application Server architecture. For additional information, refer to the online help provided with Oracle9i Application Server.

• To use the Workflow Monitor you need access to a Web browser that supports Java Development Kit (JDK) Version 1.1.8 and AWT, such as Netscape Communicator version 4.73 or a higher 4.7x version, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0x or 5.5.

Oracle Workflow Notifications

• To view the Notifications web pages, you need access to a Web browser that supports frames and JavaScript. Examples of such a client are Netscape Communicator version 4.73 or a higher 4.7x version, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0x or 5.5.

• To respond to e-mail notifications with HTML attachments, your e-mail application must support HTML attachments and you must use a Web browser application that supports frames and JavaScript to view the attachment. Examples of such a client are Netscape Communicator version 4.73 or a higher 4.7x version, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0x or 5.5.
