This chapter describes the following system requirements for installing Oracle Applications InterConnect:
Oracle Applications InterConnect (OAI) is a hub 'n' spoke end-to-end integration solution. This section describes:
The following components can be found on the OAI (4.0.0) CD:
OAI consists of the following components:
The installation steps of the components that are platform-specific are clearly marked.
Adapters are software modules that plug into applications to make them OAI enabled. Each adapter is a runtime component that manages the information flow between an application and OAI. You can modify an adapter to use with an application.
OAI consists of the following adapters:
You can use iStudio to specify and configure an integration. It is a wizard-based tool that enables you to model hierarchical data that represent business objects you are integrating between applications. You can use iStudio to specify data transformations. It supports publish/subscribe, request/reply, and point-to-point messaging.
The repository stores metadata generated by iStudio, including all the integration information.
The OAI Management Infrastructure is an extension of the Oracle Management Server (part of Oracle Enterprise Manger.)
You can use the optional SDK component to create new adapters and iStudio browsers instead of using the ones that come bundled with OAI.
OAI has the following dependent products:
or
OID 2.1.1 - for use with Oracle8i 3 (8.1.7)
or
OMB 2.0.1.0 - for use with Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7)
For OAI 4.0.0 releases on HP, IBM, and Compaq: only OID 2.1.1, Oracle database 8.1.7, and OMB 2.0.1.0 are supported.
There is no restriction on where each of the components reside. For example, all the components can reside on one machine or each component can reside on its own dedicated machine.
Oracle Corporation recommends the following topology:
If the adapters are not on the same machines as the applications, assign one spoke machine per application. (You can have one spoke machine for all applications if it meets your throughput needs). The platform can be Windows NT or UNIX except for the SAP adapter, which is Windows NT only.
Do not run an install on a UNIX computer using Exceed on a remote machine. This can cause problems during install.
Table 1-1 lists the hardware requirements for the hub computer (for OMB, OID, the repository, and the database).

Table 1-2 lists the hardware requirements for the spoke computer (for adapters).

This section describes:
Table 1-4 lists the software requirements for the hub computer (for OMB, OID, the repository, and the database), the spoke computer (for adapters), and for iStudio.
Table 1-4 Operating System Requirements
OAI runs on JRE 1.1.8. You do not need to install JRE or JDK 1.1.8 prior to installing OAI. The OAI installation bundles JRE 1.1.8 with it and installs it. The following is information on the Solaris patch required for the Java programs. (This information is also available on the JDK 1.1.8_10 for UNIX/SPARC README file.)
Table 1-5 describes the required patches for Solaris 2.5.1, Solaris 2.6, or Solaris 7. You can download the patches from http://www.sun.com/solaris/java or obtain them from your service provider. The two-digit number following the dash in each patch number is the revision of the patch. The table lists minimum revisions that this release was tested with; later revisions are acceptable.
* - recommended for locations that use traditional Chinese characters. You can also install the latest patch cluster for your version of Solaris, which includes additional recommended and security patches. Solaris patch clusters are available for downloading on the Web; follow the links starting at http://sunsolve.sun.com.
Use the showrev -p command to list the patches installed on your system. If the recommended patches are not already installed, perform the following steps:
For Solaris 2.5.1, enter:
$ tar xvf 1.1.8_10_patches_sparc_5.5.1.tar
For Solaris 2.6, enter:
$ tar xvf 1.1.8_10_patches_sparc_5.6.tar
For Solaris 7, enter:
$ tar xvf 1.1.8_10_patches_sparc_5.7.tar
This creates patch archives with names like patch_id.tar.Z.
$ zcat patch_id.tar.Z | tar -xvf
A directory with a name like patch_id is created for each patch. General instructions for patch installation are included in the Install.info file in the top-level directory of each patch. Special installation instructions or post-installation requirements (such as a system reboot) appear in the README file included with each patch. The README file also lists IDs fixed and files changed by the patch.
root.
# shutdown
Install.info and README files for each patch.
On Solaris 2.5.1, enter the following for each patch:
# cdpath/patch_id# ./installpatch .
where path is the path to the directory where the path was extracted.
# patchadd -Mpath patch_id patch_id...
where path is the path to the directory where the path was extracted.
# shutdown -i6
