This chapter provides brief, high level instructions for the installation and upgrade of Oracle WebCenter Analytics, and is intended to quickly guide experienced administrators through the installation or upgrade procedure.
This chapter is divided into two major sections:
Installation. This section covers installing and configuring the Oracle WebCenter Analytics components, creating and scripting the database, creating the ALUI Security database, and starting and verifying the installation. The organization of this section maps directly to detailed instructions in Chapter 3, "Installation."
Upgrade. This section covers upgrading version of Oracle WebCenter Analytics to the latest version. The organization of this section maps directly to detailed instructions in Chapter 4, "Upgrade."
Before you install Oracle WebCenter Analytics, ensure that you have completed pre-installation steps. For details, see Chapter 1, "Installation Prerequisites."
(Linux/Unix only) 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 Analytics on Windows.
Note:
If you are installing Oracle WebCenter Analytics on Linux or UNIX operating systems, you do not need to perform this procedure if, as the same user that is installing Oracle WebCenter Analytics, you have already installed at least one of the following products on the same machine on which you are installing Oracle WebCenter Analytics:
Oracle WebCenter Interaction 10.3.x
Oracle WebCenter Collaboration 10.3.x
To grant user and group access rights to Oracle Inventory directories:
Log in to the computer onto which you will be installing Oracle WebCenter Analytics as the root user.
Copy the ouais.sh script to the computer.
This script is located in the same location as the Oracle WebCenter Analytics installer file.
Change the current directory (cd) to be the directory to which you copied the ouais.sh script.
Run the ouais.sh shell script.
As arguments to the script, specify the user and group that will be running the Oracle WebCenter Analytics 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.
This section describes how to install the Analytics Console component and the BEA AL Analytics service. For more complete details on performing this task, see Installing the Analytics Console Component.
To install the Analytics Console Component:
Log in to the remote server host computer as the local administrator (on Windows) or a user with directory write privileges (on UNIX or Linux).
Note:
For UNIX and Linux installations, you must run the Oracle WebCenter Analytics installer as the user that you specified in the procedure Granting User and Group Access Rights to Oracle Inventory Directories. You specified the user who will run the product installer as an argument to the ouais.sh script.
Copy the installer to the disk location from where you plan to launch it.

Configuring Nodes in a Cluster
This section discusses how to configure nodes in a BEA AL Analytics Collector service cluster.
If you are configuring nodes of the BEA AL Analytics Collector service to use broadcast mode, IP broadcast packets are not automatically forwarded from one subnet to another. For this reason, you should configure each instance of the BEA AL Analytics Collector service to be in the same subnet as the application from which it receives events. This configuration ensures that the event-generating applications can successfully receive broadcast messages from the Collector service cluster. If you use virtualization software, we recommend that you configure nodes of the BEA AL Analytics Collector service to use broadcast mode.
Note:
Perform this procedure for each node in the cluster.
To configure a node in a BEA AL Analytics Collector service cluster:
Ensure that you have installed the Analytics Collector component on each machine that will host a node in the cluster.
Note:
Oracle recommends that each instance of the BEA AL Analytics Collector service exist on a separate machine.
For installation instructions, see Installing the Analytics Collector Component.
