This chapter contains the following sections:
Section 4.3, "Preparing to Install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure"
Section 4.5, "Installing Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure"
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure components can be grouped in to Identity Management components and components associated with Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. Table 4-1 describes these components.
Table 4-1 Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure Components
Infrastructure Components | Description |
---|---|
Identity Management components |
These components provide directory, security, and user management functionality. Some of these components, such as OracleAS Single Sign-On, have schemas in Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. The components are:
|
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database |
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database is a collection of schemas used by other components of Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications. The schemas can be grouped in to the following categories:
|
When you install the Infrastructure, you can install Identity Management components, Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database, or both. The following types of installation are available for installing Infrastructure:
Identity Management and Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database
Identity Management
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database
Enable existing Oracle10g Database to Collaboration Suite Database
In addition to the components listed in Table 4-1, when you install Infrastructure, the following components are also installed:
Oracle HTTP Server
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g components
These components are always installed, regardless of the type of installation that you select.
By separating the Infrastructure in to Identity Management components and Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database, the installer enables you to install Infrastructure components on multiple computers. For example, you can install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database on one computer and Identity Management components on another computer. Within the Identity Management option, you can install Identity Management components on multiple computers as well.
The options for selecting different types of installations also enable you to create a new database or use an existing database for Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. If you select the "Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database" or the "Identity Management and Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database" option, then the installer creates a new database and populates it with schemas of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. To use an existing database, refer to Chapter 5.
If you plan to install both Identity Management components and Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database on the same computer, then select the Identity Management and Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database option. The installer installs the components in the correct order.
If you plan to install the Infrastructure components on separate computers, then you must install them in the following order:
Install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database.
You can run the installer to create a new database and populate it with the schemas of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database.
Note: You cannot register the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database with Oracle Internet Directory at this point, because you do not have an instance of Oracle Internet Directory yet. The registration is done in the next step. |
Alternatively, you can use the Enable existing Oracle10g Database to Collaboration Suite Database option to install Oracle Collaboration Suite Database in an existing database. However, in this case, you must first install Identity Management components and Oracle Internet Directory before you enable the existing database. If you fail to do so, then Oracle Universal Installer will not proceed after the Specify Namespace in Internet Directory screen.
Install Identity Management components.
The installer prompts you to enter information that is used as connect information for Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. Refer to Section 4.5.5 for more information about this procedure.
The installer registers the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database with the newly created instance of Oracle Internet Directory. Refer to Section 4.3.5 for more information about registration.
Note: Installing only Oracle Collaboration Suite Database does not give you an Oracle Collaboration Suite instance. |
If you install only Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database during the installation of the Infrastructure, then the installer creates a new database and populates it with schemas of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. The installer also creates a new instance of Oracle Collaboration Suite that is different from other Oracle Collaboration Suite instances in the following ways:
The installer does not prompt you to name this Oracle Collaboration Suite instance.
At the end of the installation, Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control is not started, because it is not configured for this instance. You do not need Application Server Control to manage this instance, which consists of only Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database.
To manage this instance, you use database management tools.
At the end of the installation, Oracle HTTP Server is also not started, because you do not need it to manage this instance.
This section explains the different types of Infrastructure installations and answers some common questions about the installation of the Infrastructure.
This section covers the following sections:
Section 4.3.1, "Can I Install Components on Separate Computers?"
Section 4.3.2, "Tips for Installing Identity Management Components Separately"
Section 4.3.4, "Can I Use an Existing Instance of Oracle Internet Directory?"
Section 4.3.6, "Can I Use Multiple Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Databases?"
Section 4.3.7, "What High Availability Options Does Oracle Collaboration Suite Support?"
Section 4.3.8, "What Are the Restrictions on the Passwords for the SYS and SYSTEM Users?"
Section 4.3.9, "What Do I Enter in the Specify Namespace in Internet Directory Screen?"
Section 4.3.10, "How Do I Determine Port Numbers Used by Components?"
You can install components on separate computers. The distribution of components over multiple computers is especially useful for Infrastructure components. Such a distribution can improve performance, security, scalability, and availability of Infrastructure services.
For example, you can install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database on a single computer. The Infrastructure uses Oracle Collaboration Suite Database to contain the required schemas. You can install Identity Management components in the Infrastructure separately, on one or more computers.
Table 4-2 shows some possible Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure configurations.
Table 4-2 Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Infrastructure Configurations
Configuration | Description / How to Install |
---|---|
Description of the illustration ocsig004.gif |
In this configuration, the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database and the Identity Management components run from the same Oracle home. To install this configuration, install the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database and the Identity Management components at the same time. For installation steps, refer to Section 4.5.1. |
Description of the illustration ocsig005.gif |
In this configuration, the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database and the Identity Management components run on separate computers. To install this configuration:
|
Description of the illustration ocsig006.gif |
In this configuration, the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database runs on one computer, Oracle Internet Directory runs on a second computer, and the remaining Identity Management components run on a third computer. To install this configuration:
|
Description of the illustration ocsig007.gif |
In this configuration, you want Oracle Application Server Certificate Authority to use its own Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database for security reasons. Other Identity Management components use another Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. To install this configuration:
|
To install Identity Management components separately, consider the following guidelines when selecting the components that you want to configure on the Select Configuration Options screen:
You cannot install and configure more than one instance of OracleAS Certificate Authority for the same Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database. You can install and configure more than one instance of OracleAS Single Sign-On, Oracle Delegated Administration Services, and Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning for the same Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database.
See Also: Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide for more details about configuring more than one instance of Oracle Internet Directory for the same Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database |
You must select at least one component for configuration. Otherwise, the installation will not complete successfully.If you configure OracleAS Single Sign-On and Oracle Delegated Administration Services in separate installations for the same instance of Oracle Internet Directory, then ensure that you configure OracleAS Single Sign-On before Oracle Delegated Administration Services installation. This is because Oracle Delegated Administration Services depends on mod_osso
, which will not be set up during installation unless the Oracle Internet Directory it points to already has OracleAS Single Sign-On configured.
Note: You can install Identity Management, Oracle Collaboration Suite Database, and the Applications tier in any order you wish. However, if you install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database before Identity Management, then later you must register the Database with Identity Management.The recommended order of installation is Identity Management, Oracle Collaboration Suite Database, and then finally the Applications tier. |
These components are required and you must install them before you install Oracle Collaboration Suite Applications. This is because they provide the following services:
Oracle Delegated Administration Services provides a browser-based interface to Oracle Internet Directory. You can use this interface to perform tasks such as changing passwords, searching for other users in the directory, and creating groups. If you have the required privileges, then you can also create additional users.
Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning enables you to integrate different applications and third-party LDAP directories with Oracle Internet Directory. You can also use Oracle Directory Integration and Provisioning to synchronize data in all directories and send notifications to applications when data in Oracle Internet Directory changes (for example, when you add users or groups to Oracle Internet Directory).
You can use an existing instance of Oracle Internet Directory instead of having the installer create a new one. You might want to do this if your applications must authenticate users whose information is already stored in the existing instance of Oracle Internet Directory.
Note: To use an existing instance of Oracle Internet Directory during the Infrastructure installation, do not select the Oracle Internet Directory option in the Select Configuration Options screen.You must provide the connect information (host name, port, user name, and password) for the existing instance of Oracle Internet Directory. |
Table 4-3 shows the supported versions of Oracle Internet Directory. However, you must upgrade these versions to the Oracle Internet Directory shipped with Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) to work with Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Release 1 (10.1.2).
Table 4-3 Supported Versions of Oracle Internet Directory
Version | Notes |
---|---|
9.2.0.x |
This version of Oracle Internet Directory is shipped with Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2). You must upgrade it to 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) before you can use it with Oracle Collaboration Suite. For details on how to upgrade, refer to the Oracle Collaboration Suite Upgrade Guide. |
9.0.2 |
This version of Oracle Internet Directory is shipped with Oracle9i Application Server Release 2 (9.0.2). You can run this version of Oracle Internet Directory with 10g Release 1 (10.1.2) components, but you need 9.0.2 metadata repository for the 9.0.2 Oracle Internet Directory. You can also upgrade Oracle Internet Directory Release 9.0.2 Oracle Internet Directory to 10g Release 1 (10.1.2). For details on how to upgrade, refer to the Oracle Collaboration Suite Upgrade Guide. |
To determine the version of Oracle Internet Directory, ensure that it is up and running. Then enter the following command:
prompt> oidldapd -version
The output of the command should be similar to the following:
oidldapd: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Fri Feb 28 09:26:53 2003 (c) Copyright 2001 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
The oidldapd
command can be found in the ORACLE_HOME/
bin
directory, where ORACLE_HOME
is the root
directory of Oracle Collaboration Suite containing Oracle Internet Directory.
Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database and Oracle Internet Directory work together closely. In most cases, you must ensure that Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database is registered with Oracle Internet Directory before you can use it.
Table 4-4 lists the scenarios where the installer automatically registers Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database with Oracle Internet Directory, and the scenarios where you decide whether to register it or not.
Table 4-4 Database Registration Scenarios

You can install multiple Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Databases to increase performance. This enables different components in your topology to use different databases.
Figure 4-1 shows a topology that involves two databases. It uses four computers:
Computer 1 runs an instance of Oracle Collaboration Suite Database and Identity Management components. The Identity Management components use this database.
Computer 2 has an instance of Oracle Collaboration Suite Database that is registered with the Oracle Internet Directory running on Computer 1.
Computer 3 has an instance of Oracle Mail. This Applications tier uses the database on Computer 1 for its product metadata because it was registered with that database during installation.
Computer 4 has an instance of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Content Services. This Applications tier uses the database on Computer 2 for its product metadata because it was registered with that database during installation.
Figure 4-1 Multiple Instances of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database in Use
Note:
|
Refer to Chapter 8 for more information on installing Oracle Collaboration Suite in high availability environments.
Note: Hardware clustering is supported for Infrastructure only. It is not supported for Applications. |
When you install Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g Database in a new database, the installer prompts you to set passwords for the SYS and SYSTEM users. These users are privileged users of the database. These passwords have certain restrictions. These passwords:
Must be shorter than 30 characters
Can contain only alphanumeric characters from the database character set, the underscore (_), the dollar sign ($), and the number symbol (#)
Must begin with an alphabetic character
Passwords cannot begin with a number, the underscore (_), the dollar sign ($), or the number sign (#).
Cannot be Oracle reserved words
Oracle Database SQL Reference guide lists the reserved words. To access the guide, visit the Oracle Technology Network at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation
Alternatively, avoid using words that sound like they might be reserved words.
Cannot be the default passwords, which are change_on_install
and manager
The distinguished name (DN) that you specify in the Specify Namespace in Internet Directory screen will be designated as the namespace in Oracle Internet Directory, where users and groups are administered.
A suggested namespace appears on the screen. The installer determines the suggested namespace from the /etc/hosts
file. If it meets your deployment requirements, then select it. If not, enter another DN in the Custom Namespace field.
Refer to Section 2.8 for more information.
If you plan to integrate your Identity Management components with a third-party directory, then you should enter the DN of a namespace that matches the DN of the default namespace in the third-party directory.
During installation, you might need to know the port numbers used by certain Oracle Collaboration Suite components. For example, if you install Infrastructure for an existing instance of Oracle Internet Directory, then the installer prompts for the Oracle Internet Directory host name and port number.
Refer to Appendix I for the list of ports used by Oracle Collaboration Suite components.
Alternatively, you can assign custom port numbers, which are different from the default port numbers. Refer to Section 2.4.3 for more details on how to assign custom port numbers to components.
After installation, you can get a list of port numbers by:
Using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control.
Clicking the Ports link on the Oracle Enterprise Manager home page. This takes you to a page that lists all ports in use and the suggested port ranges for different components.
Looking in the ORACLE_HOME/
install/portlist.ini
file. ORACLE_HOME
refers to the path to the directory containing the Oracle Collaboration Suite installation.
Note: If you change the port number of a component after installation, then theportlist.ini file is not updated because the portlist.ini file is not updated after installation. |
This section describes screens that are common to most installation procedures of the Infrastructure.

This section explains the different ways of installing the Infrastructure. It describes the different scenarios of the installation process in detail.
Note: If you already have Oracle Collaboration Suite 10.1.1.0.2 installed, then you must apply Oracle Collaboration Suite 10.1.2 patch set to update this previous release to Oracle Collaboration Suite 10.1.2 and then apply the OracleAS 10.1.2.1 patch set. These patch sets are available for download from OracleMetaLink atIf your Oracle Collaboration Suite installation is distributed across two or more computers, then the patch sets must first be applied to the Oracle Home for Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and then to the Oracle Home for the Applications tier. However, for a single-computer installation, the patches must be applied twice on the same system. First to the Oracle Home for Oracle Collaboration Suite Infrastructure and then to the Oracle Home for the Applications tier. You must use Oracle Universal Installer to apply these patch sets. After applying the patch sets, it is recommended that you restart all the tiers (Infrastructure tier, Database tier (if seperate), and the Applications tier) to ensure that all components pick up the latest system information and that there is no discrepancy between the environments in which the process run in and the actual values in the configuration files and network settings. |

If you selected Identity Management Components on the Select Installation Type screen for a distributed Infrastructure installation, then after the installation you must run the OCSdbSchemaReg
script on the computer that contains the Database instance.
This script registers the Database instance with Identity Management instance and runs the back end Oracle Collaboration Suite Configuration Assistants.
To register the database with Oracle Internet Directory, execute OCSdbSchemaReg.sh
as follows:
sh OCSdbSchemaReg.sh compulsory_arguments [optional_parameters]
Refer to the following section for a list of compulsory arguments and optional parameters.
You can find the log file for script output at ORACLE_HOME
/install/OCSdbSchemaReg.log
.
Compulsory Arguments and Optional Parameters of OCSdbSchemaReg
The compulsory arguments of the OCSdbSchemaReg
script are as follows:
-h
Oracle Internet Directory host
-p
Oracle Internet Directory non-SSL port
-x
Oracle Internet Directory SSL port
-u
Oracle Internet Directory user name
-w
Oracle Internet Directory user password
-g
Global database name
-s
Database SYS password
-t
Database SYSTEM password
-e
Oracle Mail schema password
-v
Oracle Voicemail & Fax schema password
-o
Oracle Voicemail & Fax ovfMetrics schema password
-r
Oracle Real-Time Collaboration schema password
-c
Oracle Calendar Server schema password
-i
Oracle Content Services schema password
-b
Oracle Workspaces password
-a
Oracle Collaboration Suite Web Access system password
-k
Oracle Collaboration Suite Web Access metrics password
-S
Oracle Collaboration Suite Database schema password
Note: This password is used for all Oracle Collaboration Suite Database schema passwords. If you set this argument, then arguments, such-e, -r, -c, -v, -i, -b, -a, -k, -o will be ignored, even if they are set. |
-y
Host list
The list must be comma-separated and the entries must be in the form of db_hostname:listener_port
.
-F
Filesystem
type
This parameter is used to define the storage type you are using. The value of this argument can be one of the following:
fs
for the file system
asm
for the ASM Disk group
raw
for using raw partitions
-O Filesystem
path
The value of this argument is determined as follows:
fs
represents the directory path to the datafile storage.
asm
represents the ASM disk group (for example, +DATA
).
raw
represents the path to the rawconfig mapping file.
Optional Parameters
The optional arguments of OCSdbSchemaReg are as follows:
-l
Pass this parameter if the Oracle Internet Directory port is the SSL port (no argument required). If this switch is not passed, the default is the standard Oracle Internet Directory port that you are using.
-z
Pass this parameter to only register the Database in to Oracle Internet Directory without running component back-end Configuration Assistants.
Note: Simply registering the Database with Oracle Internet Directory does not run the Oracle Collaboration Suite back-end Configuration Assistants and as a result, this database will not be displayed as an available Database for the Oracle Collaboration Suite components during the Applications tier installation. |
You can use the following parameter to bypass the command-line arguments and use a parameter file instead:
-f
ini filename
Pass this parameter to bypass the command-line arguments and use a file that contains values for all compulsory arguments.
Refer to OCSdbSchemaReg.ini.sample
located in ORACLE_HOME
/install
for a sample .ini
file.
If you pass an -f
argument, no other command-line arguments will be processed. You must either enter all compulsory arguments or an -f
argument pointing to the .ini
file.
Note: Passwords are in plain text format. |
The main functions of the OCSdbSchemaReg
script are:
Registering a database in to Oracle Internet Directory. The script will optionally create the ORACLE_HOME
/ldap/admin/ldap.ora
file if it does not already exist. The entries in the ldap.ora
file, if it exists, must match with the Oracle Internet Directory host that the script is configured against.
Note: If the script detects that a database entry, matching the given global database name, already exists in Oracle Internet Directory, it will assume that the database has already been properly registered. Component Configuration Assistants will attempt to use the connect string contained in that registration. |
Running Configuration Assistants for:
Oracle Real-Time Collaboration
Oracle Mail
Oracle Voicemail & Fax
Oracle Collaboration Suite Search
Oracle Content Services
Oracle Collaborative Workspaces
Oracle Web Access Client
Oracle Calendar Server
Keeping track of the processes that have succeeded. If any tool fails, you can rerun the script after fixing the issue. You must only run those Configuration Assistants that did not succeed. The file containing these results is located in ORACLE_HOME
/install/schemaReg.results
.
If you have already installed Oracle Application Server, then you can use the existing instance of Identity Management for Oracle Collaboration Suite. Depending on the version of Identity Management you want to use, follow the steps mentioned in the following sections.
