This chapter provides conceptual information about installing Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2) and describes the available installation options. The topics include:
The Oracle Developer Suite product installation has the following options:
J2EE Development: Provides a lightweight installation that allows you to develop Java and Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications using Java, HTML, XML, and SQL. This option includes testing capability with Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J), and allows you to extend applications with business intelligence using Oracle Business Intelligence Beans (also referred to as "OracleBI Beans").
Complete: Select this option to install Oracle Forms Developer, Oracle Designer, Oracle Reports Developer, and Oracle10g JDeveloper. This option also installs Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J) and the relevant Oracle Application Server runtime services (Oracle Application Server Forms Services and Oracle Application Server Reports Services), and configures OC4J as the default listener for testing purposes.
On UNIX, only Oracle10g JDeveloper, Oracle Forms Developer, and Oracle Reports Developer are available. This option also installs Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE (OC4J) and the relevant Oracle Application Server runtime services (Oracle Application Server Forms Services and Oracle Application Server Reports Services), and configures OC4J as the default listener for testing purposes.
The Oracle Developer Suite hardware and software requirements are listed in Chapter 2, "Getting Started".
Step-by-step installation instructions are provided in Chapter 3, "Installation".
Descriptions of individual Oracle Developer Suite components are provided in Appendix B, "Components".
Table 1-1 lists the Oracle Developer Suite Windows install options, and the components that are installed with each option. Table 1-2 lists the Oracle Developer Suite install options for Linux and Solaris, and the components that are installed with each option.

Footnote 1 To provide complete Oracle Developer Suite functionality, the Linux and Solaris distribution pack includes the full Windows distribution pack as well.
The Oracle Developer Suite installation process has the following phases:
Preinstallation: Perform preinstallation tasks before installing Oracle Developer Suite, and then start Oracle Universal Installer to begin installation. See Section 2.9, "Preinstallation Tasks" and Section 2.11, "Preparing to Start the Installer" for details.
Installation: Follow the instructions given by the installer to install Oracle Developer Suite. See Chapter 3, "Installation" for details.
Postinstallation: Perform postinstallation and configuration tasks after successfully installing Oracle Developer Suite. See Section 3.2, "Postinstallation Tasks" for details.
|
Note: If you are migrating or upgrading from a previous version, make sure you review Appendix A, "Upgrade Notes" before you start your installation. |
Oracle Universal Installer installs the Oracle Developer Suite components with default configuration values, as well as configures basic network elements that are required for accessing local or remote server products.
Oracle Developer Suite does not require a separate Oracle Application Server (OracleAS) installation to run or test applications. Depending on the installation options you select, Oracle Developer Suite provides the relevant OracleAS runtime services (OC4J, Oracle Application Server Forms Services, and Oracle Application Server Reports Services) for testing applications. However, Oracle recommends that you also test your applications in actual deployment environments.
Some Oracle Developer Suite components have features that require specific OracleAS components. For information about individual component requirements, see the appropriate component chapter in Appendix B, "Components".
During installation, you are asked to provide an Oracle home name and path. For information about the coexistence of Oracle products in one Oracle home directory, and guidelines for installing multiple Oracle products on one computer, see Section 2.7, "Coexistence in One Oracle Home".
Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2) can be installed into the same ORACLE_HOME only with 10.1.2.0.2 versions of:
Oracle Application Server
Oracle Developer Suite
Oracle Business Intelligence
Oracle Business Intelligence Tools
Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services
This section describes new features in the installation.
To see a list of new features in the product itself, visit the Oracle Technology Network site (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ids/).
The topics include:
Oracle Developer Suite and Oracle Developer Suite Documentation Library are now available through Oracle E-Delivery at http://edelivery.oracle.com/.
Oracle Developer Suite and Oracle Developer Suite Documentation Library are available on a DVD-ROM disk. They are also still available on CD-ROMs. A benefit of installing from the DVD is that you do not have to swap disks during installation, unlike installing from CD-ROM.
Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2) is certified to run on Solaris 8 (2.8) and Solaris 9 (2.9).
Oracle Developer Suite 10g (10.1.2.0.2) does not support earlier versions of the Solaris operating environment.
Oracle Developer Suite ships with Java SDK 1.4.2.
These new versions of the Java SDK may require new and updated patches for the supported operating systems. See Section 2.4, "Operating Environment Software Requirements" for a list of required patches.
In the Linux and Solaris versions of Oracle Developer Suite, the installer no longer requires any disk space in the /var/tmp directory. Some components may still write to /var/tmp while they are running.
In Oracle Developer Suite, the installer performs more prerequisite checks to ensure that your computer meets the minimum requirements. See Section 2.11.2, "Installer Prerequisite Checks" for a list of the checks.
The Configuration Assistants now have these features:
The assistants now write log files to a central location.
The assistants now write more understandable messages to the log files.
For more information about these features, see Section F.3, "Troubleshooting Oracle Developer Suite Configuration Assistants".
