Installation

This chapter describes how to install the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer 10.3.

To install the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer:

  1. For installation on UNIX and Linux hosts, grant user and group access rights to Oracle Inventory directories. For details, see Granting User and Group Access Rights to Oracle Inventory Directories (Unix).
  2. Install the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer components. For details, see Installing the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer Components,
  3. Start the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer service or daemon. For details, see Starting the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer.
  4. Import the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer server package into your Oracle WebCenter Interaction deployment. For details, see Importing the Server Package.
  5. Verify your installation. For details, see Verifying the Installation.

 

Granting User and Group Access Rights to Oracle Inventory Directories (Unix)

Oracle Inventory contains files that provide the Oracle Universal Installer with the locations of the ORACLE_HOME directories on a particular machine. For Oracle Inventory to function properly, the user that installs Oracle WebCenter Analytics must have access rights to the directories that contain Oracle Inventory’s files. This section describes how to run the ouais.sh shell script, which sets user and group access rights for these directories.

Note: You do not need to perform this procedure if you are installing Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer on Windows.
Note: If you are installing Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer on Unix operating systems, you do not need to perform this procedure if, as the same user that is installing Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer, you have already installed at least one of the following products on the same machine on which you are installing Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer:

To grant user and group access rights to Oracle Inventory directories:

  1. Log in to the remote server host computer as the root user.
  2. Copy the ouais.sh script to the machine onto which you will be installing Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer.

    3. This script is located in the same location as the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer installer file.

  3. Change the current directory (cd) to be the directory to which you copied the ouais.sh script.
  4. Run the ouais.sh shell script.

    5. As arguments to the script, specify the user and group that will be running the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer installer. For example, you would use the following command to run the ouais.sh script from the root shell: 

    ./ouais.sh -u <oracleuser> -g <oraclegroup>

    The ouais.sh script creates the Oracle Inventory directory if it did not exist before you ran the script. Additionally, the script grants user and group ownership to the directories that contain the files that are used by Oracle Inventory.

 

Installing the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer Components

This section describes how to install the Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer components. The Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer has two components: The main Oracle WebCenter WSRP Consumer service and an Image Service component.
