2 Installation of Oracle RTD Base Application Modules

This chapter describes how to install an Oracle RTD Base Application module.

As prerequisites, you must have installed one of the Oracle RTD supported J2EE application servers, and you must have successfully deployed the Oracle RTD server on to this application server. Before starting the installation, verify that Oracle RTD is running and that the server logs do not contain any errors.

For information on installing the Oracle RTD Server, please refer to Oracle Real-Time Decisions Installation and Administration Guide, which is available with the Oracle RTD platform software.

2.1 Installation Steps

Setting up an Oracle RTD Base Application module involves importing the Inline Service for the module into Oracle RTD Studio, and then configuring it to align with the customer's data sources and business applications.

To set up the module Inline Service, you must import the module Inline Service project into Oracle RTD Studio, as follows:

1. Create a directory for your Inline Services, for example, C:\RTD_ILS.

   This directory will be referred to as RTD_ILS_HOME in this documentation.

2. Locate the zip file for the Base Application module that you want to install.

   The zip file is located in one of the following directories:

   • \software\Oracle Real-Time Decisions Base Application\Base Inline Services\<module_directory_name>

   • \software\Oracle Real-Time Decisions Base Application\Reference Library\<module_directory_name>

   depending on whether the Inline Service for the module is a Base Inline Service or a Reference Library Inline Service. For more details, see Chapter 1, "Overview of Base Application Modules."

3. Unzip the Base Application module zip file, for example RTD_Base_ECommerce.zip, Into RTD_ILS_HOME.

   Unzipping the file creates a directory under RTD_ILS_HOME.

   This sub-directory is referred to from now on as MODULE_ILS_FOLDER.

4. In Oracle RTD Studio, select File > Import.

5. From the Import window, select Existing Projects into Workspace.

6. If not already visible in the Projects area of the Import Projects dialog box, click the Browse button, and locate RTD_ILS_HOME\MODULE_ILS_FOLDER. For example, C:\RTD_ILS\RTD_Base_ECommerce.

7. Select the directory MODULE_ILS_FOLDER in the file dialog box and click Ok.

8. In the Projects area of the Import Projects dialog box, select the project name for the Base Application module.

9. Click the Finish button to load the project into Oracle RTD Studio.

The Base Application module project appears in the Inline Service Explorer view of Oracle RTD Studio.

Depending on how you want to use the modules, you may decide to configure the associated Inline Service or Inline Services according to your business process requirements. For more information, see Chapter 6, "Configuring the Base Inline Services."
