This chapter describes how to install the Oracle Thesaurus Management System application tier (middle tier).
Note:
You do not need to have an installed Oracle database to create a Forms Server. However, you need a supported Oracle database to verify the installation.This chapter includes the following topics:
This section describes how to install the Oracle Application Server Forms and Reports Services on a Server computer.
To install Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services:
Close all running applications on the computer.
Log in to the application server using an account with system administrator privileges.
Insert Disk B24458-01 from the Oracle Clinical 4.6 and Oracle Thesaurus Management System 4.6.1 Media Pack.
Use Windows Explorer or the command line to execute the setup.exe file:
install\setup.exe
The system briefly displays a DOS window while it checks your computer's compatibility, and then opens the Welcome screen.
Follow the instructions on the installation screens. For additional information on each screen, see the Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services documentation.
To ensure that all configuration changes for Oracle AS10gR2 are initialized, you must restart the computer.
When the computer restarts, log in as a user with system administrator privileges. You are now ready to apply several patches for Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services and the Application Server.
To apply Patch Set 3 (10.1.2.3) to Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services:
Insert Disk V17174-01 of the Oracle Clinical 4.6 and Oracle Thesaurus Management System 4.6.1 Media Pack.
Locate p5983622_10123_WINNT.zip, which is Oracle AS10gR2 Forms and Reports Services Patch Set 3 (10.1.2.3).
Extract the patch zip file to a location that is accessible to the Forms Server.
Follow the instructions in the ReadMe file to apply the patch set. The ReadMe file is located at the top level of the patch set extraction location.
To apply Patch 7384879 to the Application Server:
Insert Disk V17174-01 of the Oracle Clinical 4.6 and Oracle Thesaurus Management System 4.6.1 Media Pack.
Locate p7384879_10123_GENERIC.zip.
Extract the patch zip file to a location that is accessible to the Forms Server.
Follow the instructions in the ReadMe file to apply the patch. The ReadMe file is located at the top level of the patch extraction location.
To locate TMS 4.6.1 and start the Installer:
Log in as a user with system administrator privileges.
Insert Disk V17174-01 of the Oracle Clinical 4.6 and Oracle Thesaurus Management System 4.6.1 Media Pack.
Locate and execute the following file:
tms\install\setup.exe
The Installer opens to the Welcome screen.
Follow the instructions on the installation screens.
The first few screens are the same for each installation and are described in each section. You must then select a component to install. These options are documented as follows:
TMS Front End includes the Forms Server and can include the Reports Server, if you choose to install the Reports Server on the same computer.
If you are installing only the Forms Server on this computer, see Installing the TMS Front End.
If you are installing both the Forms Server and the Reports Server on this computer, see Installing the TMS Reports Server.
TMS Reports Server. Select this option if you are installing the Reports Server on a computer different from the Forms Server, or on the same computer after you have installed the Forms Server. For details, see Installing the TMS Reports Server.
TMS Server; see Installing the TMS Database Server Code.
TMS Database Registration; see Registering Databases Integrated with Oracle Clinical.
TMS Database Install; see Installing TMS Database Objects.
TMS Database Upgrade; see Upgrading TMS Databases.
If you have not already done so, follow the instructions in Locating TMS 4.6.1 and Starting the Installer.
Attend to the Installer screens:
Click Next.
Enter values:
Source By default, the Installer displays the location in which you extracted the TMS patch. Accept this default value.
Destination Enter values for the Oracle Home you created when you installed Oracle AS10gR2. If the computer has multiple Oracle Homes, the Installer displays them all in the drop-down lists.
Name: Select the name of the correct Oracle Home; for example, FRHome1.
Path: Browse for the path to the correct Oracle Home; for example, D:\Oracle\FRHome1.
Click Next.
Select TMS Front End and click Next.
The TMS Front End is automatically selected. You can simultaneously install the Reports Server and/or the TMS Server (database server code) on the same computer. To do so, select one or both of the following:
TMS Reports Server
TMS Server (database server code)
Note:
If you choose to install the TMS Reports Server, additional screens appear in the Installer. Follow instructions in Installing the TMS Reports Server.The Installer enters the OPA Home it detected as the default value. OPA Home is the directory that is the root of installations of Oracle Health Sciences products. The recommended installation directory for Release 4.6 is:
drive
:\opapps46
Click Next.
Note:
The following screens do not appear if you have already installed Oracle Clinical. In that case, the next screen is the Summary screen.Oracle recommends the setting: AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
Click Next.
Enter a valid date value. A four-digit year is required. Oracle recommends DD-MON-RRRR
.
Click Next.
Enter the Report Queue Manager Machine
By default, the Installer displays the name of this computer. Accept this default value.
Click Next.
Enter URL for the Report Queue Manager
Accept the default value. Click Next.

http://computer.domain:port/opa46/xhelp
The Installer displays information about the installation, including space requirements and space available. Click Install.
This section describes installing and configuring a Reports Server. The TMS Reports Server runs on Oracle AS10g Forms and Reports Services. It schedules batch jobs such as synchronization.
Note:
If you install a Reports Server in a different gateway, or subnet, from the Forms Server, report outputs and log files are not created. There is a solution: see Change to namingServices if Reports and Forms Server Use Different Subnets.To begin the installation:
Log in as a user with system administrator privileges.

Establish that SQL*Net connections can be created to connect the Forms Server and the Reports Server to all databases.
To do this, modify 10g_oracle_home\network\admin\tnsnames.ora. Ensure that it contains an entry for each database.
Consider maintaining a central copy of the application server's tnsnames.ora with all the system's tnsnames entries for all databases. Copy the file to all clients, Forms Servers, and Reports Servers. See Modify tnsnames.ora for more information.
If the system returns a connection error, you must resolve this problem before continuing. Possible causes of errors include:
The computer is not physically connected to the network.
One of the databases does not exist.
The network protocol software is not loaded on the computer (try a remote log-in to check).
The SQL*Net software is not loaded on the computer.
The database or SQL*Net listener process is not started on the server.
An incorrect connect string, user ID, or password was entered.
The application server's tnsnames.ora
file is not present in the correct directory or does not contain the correct entries.
To add a printer that prints out reports:
Log in to Windows as a user with system administrator privileges.
Click Start, Settings, and then Printers. The Windows Printer dialog box opens.
Double-click the Add Printer icon. The Add Printer Wizard opens.
Click Next. The wizard prompts for the type of printer — local or network — that you want to add.
Select the Network Printer option, and then click Next.
Specify the name or address of the printer. If you do not know the name or address, you can browse for a printer. Click Next to continue.
Specify whether you want to use this printer as the default printer for Windows-based programs. Click Next to continue.
Click Finish. The system adds this printer to this computer.
Enter a printer specification in the Printer field or select a printer from the list of shared printers, and then click OK next to your selection.
